Something bizarre happened in my neighbourhood recently. I still wish that I didn’t see even a bit of that video. I noticed people gathered in front of a shop. I decided to check what was happening. They were watching a video. In fact, the crowd was sharing the video among themselves through WhatsApp. You can never guess what they were watching and gossiping about. It was one of our community’s landlord’s daughter’s porn video. I almost puked! The manner in which she worked on the guy like she owned him, and the fellatio were all done like a pro would; at least from the bit I saw. Curiosity really kills the cat! You know the painful thing? She is an undergraduate in one of Nigeria’s universities and not even up to 19 years. She is a Nigerian child. That is the kind of child we just celebrated on May 27. You’d be shocked to know that a good number of our children are transiting from runs girls or hook up girls to porn stars. And it’s all for the money.

Condemnations flew from every corner. Her mother was bashed, and her senior sister was blamed for indoctrinating her into such immoral conduct. Her boldness and shamelessness made me take a closer look at her face. She was high! Is that the kind of child we just celebrated in Nigeria? We are celebrating children who are introduced to drugs at a tender age and would do anything to look dope with costly wigs and big phones.
