Nigerian comedian Woli Arole has shared a candid reflection on parenting today, drawing a striking contrast between the past and present.
Speaking with concern, he lamented the shift in how children are raised, pointing to a growing focus on nightlife, social media, and entertainment over spiritual guidance and values.
“I fear for this generation, our parents put anointing oil on our heads, prayed for us at midnight, took us to the mountain, see the product of those labors.
Some people in this generation are going from club to club, life full of gossip, dragging on social media, what will the product of their KIDS? Shisha BABY!!!!! SHISHA BABY!!!!!” he said.
For Arole, this is more than just nostalgia. He paints a picture of a time when parents were deeply invested in the spiritual and moral growth of their children.
Midnight prayers, anointing, and trips to the mountain were not just rituals they were acts of guidance, protection, and love that shaped the character of the next generation.
Today, however, he observes, priorities appear to have shifted. Parents are increasingly absorbed by social events and digital life, leaving less space for deliberate, faith-based teaching.
The comedian’s words highlight a concern that the absence of these intentional practices may have lasting effects on the moral and spiritual development of children.
Through his reflection, Arole raises an urgent question about the direction of modern parenting:
what kind of future are today’s children being shaped for? His message serves as a reminder to parents to consider the long-term impact of their choices, the influence of lifestyle, and the importance of nurturing values alongside opportunities.
By invoking both humor and concern, Woli Arole encourages society to reflect on how parenting has changed and what it could mean for the next generation.
