Ven. Kanu appealed to mothers to always shun repressed anger to avoid committing murder referring mothers to Proverbs 22 verse 6 on the duties of a mother to their children. He tasked men to put attention in bringing up their children.

Ven. Kanu charged mothers to continue to ensure that children are trained in the fear of God, encouraging mothers to ensure they lead the family in the study of the world of God.
He said mothers should have a sense of discernment always and commit themselves to God as the engine room of the home.

He said women should cover themselves with the knowledge of the bible and continue to pray for their families without relenting, lamenting that perpetrators of all forms of atrocities in the country are our children.
He frowned at those committing homosexual in the society which he described as an abomination in the society.
