Nigeria: Nollywood Actor, Segun Arinze Counsels Children to Respect Parents

A popular Nollywood actor, Mr Segun Arinze, urged children to respect their parents and encouraged them to always be the best they could be.

Arinze gave the counsel in an interview on Tuesday in Abuja.

"Children should listen to their parents and grow up in the right way to become better human beings in the future.

"They should strive to be good men and women that will help develop Nigeria and the world in general by contributing their own quota to global development.

"Children should also remember that the world is just a passing phase and should make the best out of every minute," the veteran actor said.

He called on parents to focus on giving their children the best they could afford, saying that parenting should not be about work alone and forgetting the children.

According to Arinze, children need the attention of their parents.

"If you take your eyes off the ball and there is no guardian, that is when you find your children getting into bad company.
