Today, I, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, former Director-General of the Nigeria Governors Forum, remember my late father, Pa Onaiwu, on the 10th anniversary of his passing. As I reflect on his life and legacy, I am reminded of the importance of discipline and moral etiquette in shaping the next generation of leaders.

My father, Pa Onaiwu, was a man of great integrity and character, who instilled in me and my siblings the value of hard work, discipline, and moral uprightness. He ensured that we received quality education, but more importantly, he taught us the importance of living a life of integrity, honesty, and compassion.

As I look around our nation today, I am reminded that these values are more crucial than ever. As Nigerian leaders and citizens, we must prioritize the upbringing of our children, teaching them the importance of discipline, moral etiquette, and civic responsibility.

I urge all Nigerian leaders and parents to join me in commemorating the life and legacy of my father, Pa Onaiwu, by recommitting ourselves to the values that he embodied. Let us work together to build a nation where our children can grow and thrive, equipped with the values and principles necessary to lead us towards a brighter future.

I pray that Pa Onaiwu's soul continues to rest in peace, and that his legacy will continue to inspire and guide us towards a better tomorrow.
