I was having my lunch in a restaurant in Accra this afternoon, when A
friend started a discussion of what some of our female Nigerian students
in Ghana have turned themselves into. I could not agree more. While the
parents spend lots of money to ensure their daughters are comfortable
and graduate with flying colours, their children have a different
agenda.
There was this particular case of a young girl whose mother rented a
2-bedroom flat for her in Accra. My friend,said news just got to him
this week, that this student slept with 5(five) guys at the same time
and was still begging for more. She is always high on hard drugs. And,
the mother, back in Nigeria will be boasting of her daughter, who is
studying in Ghana. Oh, so pathetic.
Sadly to say, many of these young girls have become international
prostitutes and seriously hooked on drugs. I mean what I am saying. And
many people in Accra can bear me witness. Some of the mushroom
universities attended by the students lack hostel facilities and the
students are forced to rent accomodation thereby according them too much
privacy which they are not matured enough to handle.
This issues also involves our boys. Some have become drug addicts,
school dropouts and they still collect school fees from their parents.
Parents need to pay regular unexpected visit to their children and
monitor them via phone calls at odd hours to find out where they are and
what they are up to. If you a parent, you must never cease to pray for
your children. And, if you are not sure of child’s behaviour, keep him
or her close to you.
