Former Presidential Staffer PV Jantuah Dadson has offered a piece of advice to Ghanaians on the role of parental influence in children’s development and growth.
According to him, when it comes to parental guidance and advice, mothers often fall short compared to fathers in offering wise counsel to their children.
Jantuah Dadson argued that, although unintentional, a mother’s advice could sometimes lead her children down a path of destruction, especially when it fails to align with the child’s true interests.
Conversely, he added that fathers are the best advisers, drawing a connection to how children traditionally inherit their fathers’ surnames.
He also referenced the belief that God bestowed upon fathers the spiritual authority to bless their children, a role not assigned to mothers.
“Mothers don’t always give the best advice. Sometimes, their guidance can unintentionally lead their children astray. That’s a fact. A mother may give her life or even die for her child, but when it comes to seeking counsel from someone who prioritises your long-term growth and success, that person is often your father,” he said on Akoma FM on July 18, 2025.
He added, “Fathers are the ones whose names we inherit, and they carry the responsibility of blessing their children. A mother has nothing to lose that’s why God gave the power to bless children to fathers, not mothers.”
