Actress Juliana Olayode, widely known as Toyo Baby, has voiced concern over the increasing level of sexual activity among teenagers, emphasizing that sex is a spiritual act meant for marriage.
She expressed shock at the explicit nature of conversations she often hears from young people, crediting her own moral stance to the firm guidance she received from her mother.
Quoting Proverbs 22:6, Olayode cautioned that giving children excessive freedom can be dangerous, urging parents and guardians to provide firm guidance instead of encouraging behavior that could lead to harm.
“What is your body count? The things I hear these days especially from teenagers makes me speechless/breaks my heart. Whilst some people would say, enjoy your life while you’re young, make all the mistakes you want now, I don’t — that includes sexu@lly.
“S£x is spiritual, people only talk about the fun part, nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it. S£x and other sexu@l activities are for MARRIED people. I can write an epistle about this. The sex drive amongst teenagers these days is alarming, it often breaks my heart and keeps me wondering who lied to them.
“There are certain things I still cannot do now, I keep hearing my mother’s voice in my head. If we are not more intentional about the way we raise our children, we would not be happy about the kind of adults this generation would produce. What happened to train up a child in the way he should go and when he grows he will not depart from it? Proverbs 22:6
“We can not just give them a freehand, sometimes too much of freedom is destructive. There’s so much in my heart to say, for adults that view these content, if we can not correct them, let us not support them,” she wrote on her Instagram page.
