Comedian and preacher Woli Arole has raised concerns about what he described as declining parenting values among the current generation.
In a post on Instagram, Arole said parenting styles today appear weaker compared with those of previous generations.
According to him, parents in earlier times were more spiritually involved in their children's upbringing, often praying for them at midnight, anointing them with oil and taking them to Prayer Mountains for guidance.

He said such practices, in his view, contributed to raising disciplined and well-rounded individuals.

However, Arole criticised the growing tendency among some modern parents to prioritise nightlife, social media gossip and online disputes instead of focusing on guiding their children.
He warned that such distractions could affect children’s upbringing and produce a generation with questionable values if the trend continues.
Arole wrote, "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 labours.
"Some people in this generation are going from club to club, with lives full of gossip and dragging on social media. What will be the product of their kids? Shisha Baby!!!!"
