What has been the most rewarding aspect of being a father? Can you share a specific moment or experience that captures this feeling?

“The most rewarding aspect of being a father is witnessing the strength and growth of my family and being there to support them every step of the way. One experience that truly encapsulates this feeling is when my two sons successfully excelled in their studies, performed exceptionally well in their class eight examinations, gained admission to prestigious national schools, and continued to excel academically. Furthermore, as they progress through their college education and graduation is within sight, it fills me with immense pride to observe their development int responsible and upstanding young men, ready to contribute positively to society.”

Fatherhood comes with its fair share of challenges. Can you describe a difficult situation you faced as a father and how you navigated through it? What did you learn from that experience?

‘’ One of the most challenging times I faced as a parent was when my son was admitted to the
hospital in excruciating pain and I felt helpless, my faith and experience guided me. Instead of
relying solely on my own abilities, my faith in God held me together and I devoted myself to
prayer. Miraculously, everything turned out well. This experience reinforced my conviction that
prayers and unwavering faith in God are the ultimate solutions to any difficulties we encounter
in life.”

Every child is unique, and parenting styles can vary. How would you describe your approach to fatherhood? What values or principles guide your parenting decisions?

‘’When it comes to fatherhood, my approach is centered around a combination of strictness,
care, and love. I believe in instilling godliness, love, and discipline in my children, while also
aiming to build a close and positive relationship with them. I see myself as a role model,
influencing their behavior and values. Additionally, I strive to understand each of my children
individually, fostering an open-door policy that encourages open communication and a deeper
connection with them.’’

Balancing work and family life can be demanding. How do you manage your responsibilities as a father while also maintaining a fulfilling professional career? Any tips or strategies you can share?

‘’When it comes to balancing work and family life, I prioritize by placing God first in
all that I do. I ensure that I have dedicated family time, usually starting from 6pm, and
involve my family in making important decisions regarding our household. During
weekends, I make it a point to be fully present for my family and occasionally plan
vacations to spend quality time together. Additionally, I always make time to attend
school meetings for my children, showing my commitment to their education and
overall well-being. By incorporating these strategies, I strive to effectively manage
my responsibilities as a father while maintaining a fulfilling professional career.’’

Looking back on your journey as a father, what is the most valuable piece of advice or life lesson you would give to new or soon-to-be fathers? Why is it important?

new or soon-to-be father is to raise their children to be God-fearing, respectful, peaceful, and to
cherish their families. It is crucial to always be there for them, offering encouragement and
serving as a mentor. Children are truly golden gifts from God, and they are the ones who will
stand by your side during difficult times. By instilling these values and being present in their
