According to popular actress Dakore Egbuson-Akande, the world is now a highly sexualized place. Dakore was speaking in a recent post on her blog dakoremumsworld.wordpress.com. Here’s what she said: “As we all know, we live in a highly sexualized world where sex sells just about everything and I find myself worrying about the impact that has on the children we are raising today.
In my household we are huge lovers of music of all genres, be it our very own Naija pop, hip-hop, or R&B. And one of my favourite things to do is to dance with my daughters. In the past, I would leave the TV on and watch TraceTV or SoundCity and let it keep showing, now I have to be extra vigilant with all the nudity and shaking of bum-bums.
I find I have to reduce watching those shows or leave it to when my daughters are asleep or play the audio version only, or just switch to another channel entirely. When the video that comes up is too risqué and that always causes troubles with my feisty 3 year old. We really have to be more vigilant with our kids so they don’t grow up too fast and start dealing with things they don’t understand.’ Well said Dakore.
