Jim Iyke, a veteran actor, has revealed the only person who prays and sincerely wants his children to achieve more than he did in life.
He believes that a father is the only person who can wish for such.
The actor said this during a recent visit on a podcast show, when he expressed his candid thoughts about achievement in life.
According to Jim Iyke, only a father truly wants the best for their children while removing other male figures such as relatives, friends, and others.
“The only man on earth that wants to see you succeed more than him in this life is not your best friend, brother, relative; it is your father. The only man that is comfortable in this life, that prays it as a prayer is your father,” he said partly.
His statement was met with mixed feelings some agreed with his point of view while others provided examples of fathers who failed to meet the expectations.
