Nigerian rapper, Eva Alordiah, has asked Africans to normalize talking about sex with their parents because it is their responsibility.
She claimed that parents frequently believed that kids should learn about sex when they reached a specific age.
According to the rapper who has been absent from the music industry for some time, a lot of Nigerian parents are hypocrites and would rather stand on the ground of their wards’ learning sexual activities outside than educate them at home.
The rapper added that topics bordering on sex should be discussed in an open, natural, and courteous manner but pointed out that since the internet’s origin, anyone can easily access sexual content, even minors.
Alordiah said, “I hope that more Nigerian parents will stop hiding behind the curtains of hypocrisy and righteousness, and begin to have real conversations with their own children about sex.
We are sexual beings by nature. Heal your own shame and traumas and teach your kids about their sexual nature.
“In a world where information is rampant and easily accessible, where most children today are gifted Ipads before they are gifted books, where sex is on ever-ready display at the click of a button, it is even more urgent that we discuss sex in an open, intuitive and respectful way.
“Unfortunately, most Nigerian parents fold their arms and hope their children learn about sex at the right time. When? They hope the pastors promising hell as the penalty for sin will twat the ever-raging curiosity of children.”
“The fear of hell is not as great as the desire for sex. We seriously need to stop with the damn hypocrisy and learn and teach about our God-given sexual nature as humans. Preaching “suppression” is just as well as begging people to explode with reckless abandon.
“You cannot suppress nature. To think that children are “just” children is to set yourself up for a rude awakening. Children know so much more than you give them credit for.
“It is better to have real, intentional relationships with your children, founded on love and mutual respect.
“You give children the most expensive schools, Ipads, Internet, gadgets, teachers, pastors, but you don’t give them your own counsel as parents. Dear Nigerian parents, please, it is your responsibility to teach your kids about sex. If you don’t, they will learn anyways.” she added
