Ossai Success, an aide to the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has come under fire after he said that parents are to blame for the prostitution and ritual killings in the society.

According to Ossai, contrary to popular beliefs that prostitution and killings are as a result of the government’s inability to create job opportunities, many parents have a major role to play in their children’s decision.

In a facebook post he said; “Our parents are the reason why our young girls/boys are into prostitution and rituals.

“Let me say the truth here, if there is anyone to blame for the killing of our young girls by our young boys, it is our parents.

“Over the years, our parents failed to bring up our young girls and boys in the fear of the Lord.

“Today you see increase In prostitution and rituals killings.

“Some of you blame it on government’s inability to provide jobs for the youths but you all also failed to understand that there is no way government will provide jobs for all Nigerians.

“Majority of our parents are the ones pushing our young girls and boys into prostitution and rituals.

“I also do understand that there are peer pressure but you see, when you are properly trained with the fear of God, no matter the pressure, there are some things you won’t do.

“Not because there is no money but because you have the fear of God in you.

“How many of our parents today question their children source of wealth?

“How many of our parents today know where their children are living?

“How many of our parents today know the kind of friends children are keeping?

“How many of our parents will reject money given to them by their children because they know the money is illegal?.

“These are some of the questions we need to ask ourselves as parents.”

Reacting to his post, @adestitoali said; “Not parents please,some children are just not contented with they have.Thats just it.

@_iammiramax_ said; “He has a point

So many parents having children they can’t provide for

They know they can’t afford basic needs of a child yet they choose to have that child regardless hoping that “God will provide” “God will send a helper”

“Helper” means sending the child to become a house help for someone who may abuse and mistreat them

They often leave their abusive helpers to go fend themselves

Some of them are driven to crime and prostitution as a result and then the parents don’t care what that child is doing to make the money he or she is bringing home to the parent

Parents stop having children you cannot provide and care for independently.
