Children don’t need phones with Internet — Teco Benson

Talented Nollywood
film director and producer,
Mr. Teco Benson,
shares his fatherhood
experience with
GBENGA ADENIJI
How would you define fatherhood?
Fatherhood for me is a higher call of responsibility. It involves a lot of mentoring; a lot of hard work because every father wants the best for his children.
What has been your greatest challenge as a father? 
Sometimes as a father, there are things one wishes to do for one’s children. But because the financial resources are not there, one has to make do with what one has. Also, the society is a problem. There is a way that would lead to a better tomorrow for the children and one makes all the efforts to set them on that path. But the kind of system that we have in the neighbourhood, school, etc, are not helping matters.
