Governor Wike’s wife – Hon. Justice Suzzette Eberechi has charged parents to make their homes virile platforms that mould the right attitude in their children.
Such right attitude, she noted, are built upon tenable values and manners, which structure their personality type so that they can influence situations and other people positively as they contribute their quota to make society better.
The Wife of the Rivers State governor gave the charge on Sunday, when she visited the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital to felicitate with the baby boy born on Christmas day.
The baby boy, delivered at 9.30am, is born to the family of Dr. and Mrs Sotonye Asikimabo-ofori who hail from Okrika.
She also shared gifts to other children and parents in the medical ward that was visited. The wife of the governor said the home is the first social platform available to every child.
She urged parents to deliberately nurture their children to become self respecting, considerate of others and well mannered.
“Parents are every child’s first teachers. You don’t need to be an educated parent to pass on worthy values. You just need to have a mind to impart. Be conscientious, be sensitive. Be somebody that thinks about others. Teaching and learning good manners is very easy.” – she said.
Justice Suzzette added that;
“Children draw their strength from their parents. They learn values, and manners from home. So, we learn how to relate with people. Home is the first social platform every child has. It will teach you how to talk to people.”
Speaking further, governor Wike’s wife harped on the need for everybody to ensure that they are learning what will help them in their personal life, which will better the larger society.
She pointed out that, often, people missed the opportunity to learn moral, and other social values in their various homes, but that should not mean they should become social misfits.
The wife of the governor said what such person should do is to be open minded so that he or she can learn good values from what is seen happening around and from other people.
“If you miss it (learning) there (home), you can always learn along the way. But home is where it starts. So, whatever you are not taught at home, as you go around and you meet other people, learn from them. Learning is a continuous thing. It never ends. Everyday is new opportunity to learn something new. As far as you have breathe, you will learn something that is different everyday.” – she said.
Hon. Justice Nyesom-Wike emphasised that;
“We learn as we meet people, relate with other people. We learn new things and that should add to our character. All you need to do is put yourself in other person’s shoes.”
