Actress Foluke Daramola-Salako has criticized young Nigerians who have a habit of disrespecting their elders on social media.
The actress expressed her concern about Nigeria’s declining value system in a video she posted online.
According to her, the ‘’unruly behaviour of Nigerian youths on social media is a pandemic people are not taking note of.” She said in the next five years, youths will start beating up their parents because people have allowed the bad behaviour they are exhibiting now to slide.
Foluke remarked that young people took advantage of the recently held elections in particular to mock their elders.
She claimed she wanted to take legal action against a young woman who had called her names on social media, but after persistent pleading, she changed her mind. But, Foluke said she would use another young person as a scapegoat.
She wrote, “This is a pandemic that people are not taking cognizance of. When we have youths on social media writing all sorts of things about the elderly,” she said in a video.
“All in the bid of supporting different parties, we have lost our values. In the next years to come, children will start beating their parents.
“They will start disrespecting them because of modernization. What happened to our value system? How did things degenerate to this?
“This is a pandemic and in years to come, we’ll have a crisis on our hands. When these kinds of youths start having kids, how are they going to raise their kids?
“I beg everybody with everything you hold dear, don’t come to my page to say rubbish. I’m a disciplinarian, I won’t let it fly and I’m looking for a scapegoat.
“If you say anything stupid, the repercussion will be very grave. My true followers know that I stand for value, I stand for what’s right, I stand for culture.”
