Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has expressed worry over the way many parents are raising their children without African cultural values.
Speaking in a recent interview, the actor said it is dangerous for parents to completely remove African traditions from the upbringing of their children.
According to him, such children often grow up without respect, boundaries or balance in life.
“I feel bad for people who have totally removed the African background from the upbringing of their children. It’s a dangerous thing to do without. They have no respect, they have no boundaries, they are extremely violent and excessively woke,” Iyke said.
The actor, who is known for speaking his mind, explained that teaching children about culture does not stop them from embracing modern ideas.

“You can stay woke without being disrespectful, you can stay woke and know who your elders are, you can stay woke and still understand your priorities in life,” he said.
Iyke also stressed that it is easy to know children that were raised with the right values, even when they grow older.
“If you see parents that are getting it right, you can know in their kids even when they are older. I know how to read the room when they step into one and respect everyone,” he added.
