The Chief of Moshie Zongo in the Ashanti Region , Alhaji Amadu Ibrahim Janda, has made a passionate appeal to parents in the various Zongo communities to inculcate fellow feelings and good moral behaviors into their wards to build a prosperous society.
Speaking at a grand durbar to commemorate the 10th anniversary of his enrollment as the Chief of Moshie Zongo, he emphasized that parents must stop cursing their wards and instead guide and strengthen them with fervent prayers to become responsible adults.
According to Chief Janda, when children are properly trained or brought up, parents would have peace of mind to live, and the socioeconomic development of the country would also flourish. He urged parents to take an active role in shaping the future of their children and building a better society.
