Rita Edochie has voiced strong condemnation against the growing normalization of child abuse and inappropriate relationships with minors under 18 in Nigeria
In a passionate Instagram post, Edochie criticised social media platforms for amplifying and defending such behaviour, calling the justifications for it unacceptable and dangerous.
She expressed outrage over the glamorisation of immoral conduct, dismissing claims that such controversial actions are merely publicity stunts aimed at gaining fame.
“Immorality at its highest peak. When did child abuse become legal? When did keeping an affair with an underage (less than 18) become a thing to be proud of?” she wrote. “The sickening thing here is that social media is not even helping matters; they hype and take sides with this evil with reasons that are never justifiable.”
Rejecting the notion that success requires unethical actions, Edochie emphasized that fame and recognition should not come at the expense of moral values.
She also raised concerns about families exposing their children to morally questionable content, including music and media promoting immorality, warning against the careless engagement with such “so-called songs of immorality.”
“Everything has just been normalized in this country; immorality is highly celebrated, Tufiakwa,” she lamented, calling for greater societal accountability to protect the younger generation.
