Toyin Abraham express how Children’s day celebration made her unhappy

Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham has taken to her Instagram page to share a heartfelt message, expressing her concerns about the state of parenting in society on Children’s Day.

While wishing all parents a happy Children’s Day, she highlighted the need for better parenting, emphasizing that the quality of upbringing for today’s children requires urgent attention.

In her lengthy note, Toyin Abraham shared her observations and encounters, which compelled her to speak out on this critical issue.

She emphasized the importance of providing a nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive, and encouraged parents to reflect on their parenting styles and strive for improvement.

While Children’s Day is typically a joyous celebration, Toyin Abraham’s message revealed a more somber tone, as she expressed unhappiness with the current state of parenting.

She reflected on the recent jungle justice that took place at Ajayi Crowther University, urging for a better parenthood amongst parents and guardians.

Toyin Abraham also condemned the act of taking the law into one’s hands, stating that the jungle justice is a painful reflection of the moral decadence in our society, teasing parents to do better.

Toyin Abraham wrote: “I am not happy on this children’s day

“Happy Children’s Day to all children and to parents who were once children. As we celebrate this day, it is essential to acknowledge the need for better parenting. Recent online encounters and observations compel me to share this heartfelt message with every parent and guardian.

“The quality of children we are raising today needs serious attention. We now have kids who see respect and courtesy as burdens. How do we feel reading some of the things the youth say to adults online under the guise of being “woke” or adopting a “no tolerance” attitude? Many of us were not raised the way we are raising our kids today. We are raising them with kid gloves because we believe times have changed. However, different times are not an excuse to raise disrespectful children.

“Despite our age and blessings, there are still things we would not tell our parents, not out of fear, but out of respect. This Children’s Day should remind us to do better as parents and raise children who are respectful and kind. The recent tragic event at Ajayi Crowther University, where students killed a fellow student in the name of jungle justice, highlights the severe consequences of a lack of home training and moral values. Even if theft occurred, it does not justify taking another person’s life.

“Respect, courtesy, responsibility, kindness, and hard work are values we were raised with. Although we may not have liked the discipline at the time, we are grateful to our parents today for instilling these values in us. We have a nation-building responsibility to raise the next generation of quality individuals.

“Happy Children’s Day once again. May God keep our children for us, protect us from all forms of evil, and grant us a great celebration filled with wonderful experiences for the kids.

“My name is Toyin Abraham Ajeyemi. I was once a little child, and I am now entrusted with the responsibility of raising quality children for a better society and nation.”
