A recent post by the Nigerian comedian and actor, Mr. Macaroni warns Nigerian parents to be mindful of the way they go about showcasing their children’s talents.
He pleaded with parents of ‘uniquely talented children‘ to display their children’s talent in a way that is appropriate to their respective ages.
Urging that parents eager as they are to help their children nurture their talents, should always put the children first, making sure to groom them properly.
In his words;
’Dear parents and guardians,
I understand the urge to want to make the most out of our uniquely talented children.
I however strongly believe that we must apply caution while doing so.
We must showcase their talents in ways appropriate for their respective ages.
We must put our children first and groom them right.
That way, we can develop the durability and longevity of their talent as opposed to a short viral moment.
We owe them and our society that guidance.”
As the post continues to garner attention online, many have agreed with Mr. Macaroni’s sentiments.
