OpenLife reports that comedian Woli Arole has shared a powerful reflection on how parenting has changed, expressing concern about the direction today’s generation of children is being guided.
Speaking candidly, he said, “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!!!!!”
For Arole, the contrast between past and present is stark. He recalls a time when parents invested deeply in their children’s spiritual lives anointing, praying, and guiding them with intention.
These acts, he emphasizes, were more than traditions; they were deliberate efforts to shape the character and future of the next generation.
Today, he observes, the focus seems to have shifted.
Many parents now prioritize social activities, nightlife, and online attention, leaving less room for the kind of spiritual mentorship that once defined family life.
Arole’s reflections highlight his concern that such shifts could affect the moral compass and development of children growing up in these environments.
By voicing this perspective, Woli Arole is challenging society to pause and consider the impact of changing priorities.
His words serve as a reminder that raising children is more than providing for their physical needs it also involves intentional guidance, values, and faith.
Arole’s message strikes a chord: the choices parents make today shape the adults of tomorrow.
