Eloquent in her advocacy, Edochie maintained that providing nurturing, love, and essential provisions for children lays the foundation for their exceptional success and societal impact.
“Stop running away from your responsibilities in the lives of your children, face them squarely and gain massive rewards when they come of age with strong positive societal influence.
“If you are a parent, married or single, please ignite your responsibilities in the lives of your kids.
“Nurture, love and provide all the basic things they need to become outstanding. This is your child’s future you are shaping, invest in them now and reap the price later.
“Don’t abandon them to struggle alone, if you do, they eventually triumph to success, you may have no say or right in their success.
“You will just be at their mercy as no one will compel them to love and take of you in old age. They will decide what to give you and when they will give to you.
“But when you go out of your way to invest in your child’s future when he or she becomes successful you will always have full right to his or her pocket, freely making demands without limitations.
“Don’t disputes this message because I see this happening in various families I know,” she passionately declared.
With her influential position as the Women Leader of the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) and a career spanning decades in Nollywood, Edochie’s heartfelt plea resonates deeply with parents nationwide.
