What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

Rt Rev Sheldon Mwesigwa, Bishop of Ankole Diocese, has sounded the alarm on the increasing rate of divorce among families in Uganda.

While preaching at the opening of a Children's Church at St James Cathedral in Mbarara City on Sunday, Bishop Mwesigwa attributed the trend to shifting societal values.

"Today, young women have become educated and wealthy and can do without marriage. Meanwhile, men have retained traditional values that make women feel inferior," Bishop Mwesigwa said. "This has led to a breakdown in family structures, leaving children without parental love, guidance, and counsel."

Research, he noted, shows that children raised by single parents, even if wealthy, often miss out on the love, counsel, and guidance that both parents provide. "This contributes to moral degeneration among young people," he added.

Bishop Mwesigwa emphasised the need for Ugandans to return to Christian values of love, tolerance, and forgiveness to fulfil God's intention for marriage.
