Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
“Child rearing sometimes works like women’s hair rollers. When women roll their hair, they get the desired curls. If only they applied such method on raising their children! In life you get the shape of what you want when you mould them according to the shape of what you design.”
― Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

“The best security blanket a child can have is parents who respect each other.”
― Jan Blaustone
