Nigerian actress Juliana Olayode, popularly known as Toyo Baby, has voiced deep concern about the increasing rate of sexual activity among teenagers.
The 30-year-old actress took to her Instagram page on Friday night to share her thoughts, revealing how shocked she is by some of the things she hears from young people regarding their sexual experiences.
“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,” she wrote.
Olayode emphasized that sex should not be treated merely as a means of pleasure but as a spiritual act meant for married couples. Drawing from her personal experiences, she said her moral compass was shaped early on by her mother, and this still influences her decisions today.
“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 is 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,” she added.
The actress also expressed concern about parenting in today’s world and the potential consequences of giving children too much freedom. She urged adults to be more intentional in guiding the younger generation.
“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.
