Nigeria: Where Are Nigerian Fathers?

opinion

Have you ever lost anything? Many of us loose things every day, many valuable and useful. When such things are lost we know how we all behave. We do everything to look for them.

The Bible spoke of a man who had one hundred sheep and lost one, he left the remaining ninety-nine sheep and looked for the lost one. When he got it, he celebrated as if that one sheep was more valuable than the remaining ninety nine. The Bible also speaks about a man who had two sons and lost one. He waited every day in anxiety looking (searching) for the boy to return home. One day as he waited looking towards the path that the boy would come home from, suddenly he saw the boy coming, and he ran to meet him and hugged him. The boy was careful to apologize to his father for his bad behavior telling his father that he was no longer worthy to be his son but a slave. The father, ignored what the boy said, as if he did not hear him, he ordered for celebration; "this son was dead and he is alive again, he was lost and he is found".
