Nigerian female singer, Simi has warned Nigerian parents to be wary of where they keep their children.
Simi gave the warning via her Instagram stories.
She wrote; “Y’all please don’t leave your babies in this hellish schools after you notice something is off because you think it will get better or because they apologised.”
“Even daycare, primary schools. Many of them are traumatizing children, but many parents don’t even pay attention. “They beat me too. I did not die”.”
“Also, I’ve never been an advocate for boarding school. That age is so sensitive. They need you, most kids that want to go often do so for us, reasons lol and many parents do it cos they want free time.”
“They need you. Even when they say they don’t or they’re mad at you – they need you.”
“They need you to be present, to be in their faces and knowing everything about their faces and knowing everything about them.”
“They need to be able to come to you for everything – not just to see them 3-4months in a year, but to each his/her own I guess.”
“The world is not a kind place. We have to stand in the gap for our children. Everyday. God help us.”
“It’s painful that a child had to lose his life for these conversations to be happening.”
