Popular Yoruba actor and producer, Yomi Fash-Lanso, in a recent interview, opened up about what fatherhood means to him and the lessons he has learnt so far as a father.

Speaking on what fatherhood means to him, he said:

“Let me say parenthood and not fatherhood alone because it is a combination of both. Parenthood is a responsibility that parents shoulder together. Fatherhood is thus a sole responsibility of the man as the mirror of the family to the extent that whatever happens in terms of the behavioural patterns of the children is traceable to the father.

“Also, whatever the children become in life is linked to the father because they looked up to him when they were young. They copy the attitudes and ways of life of the father who is the mirror in which they see themselves.”
