Acting President Osinbajo Gives Advice To Men Involved In Domestic Violence..

His advice to men involved in domestic violence?

For us, the Scripture says that we must love our wives as ourselves and also goes on to say that any one who does not love his wife certainly does not love himself. Anyone who indulges in any form of domestic violence obviously needs some teaching and some discipline. I think it is a shame. Although in some cases you find that it is a disorder of some kind or the other. And I think people need to be counseled. In some cases people need to be treated. It really is a sort of thing that should never be tolerated, beating anybody at all is wrong, let alone beating one’s wife who is supposed to be one and the same person.

His thought on if fathers played their role as fathers of the nation?

Well just as I was saying, Christian fatherhood has the responsibility of building up young people who are righteous and just. Young people who fear God. That’s the whole point of Christian fatherhood. And I think that yes, we haven’t done the best we can. We have certainly not rendered that particular service in the way God expects us to. But we are at it every day. We are growing, we are developing, we are getting better. And God helping us we will do exactly what it is we are meant to do as Christian fathers, which is to develop a generation, grow a generation of men and women who are righteous and just and who fear God.
