Society corrupts children because mothers are too busy to raise them – Bimbo Akintola

Actress, Bimbo Akintola has refutes claims that movies are responsible for the decadence in society.

According to the talk show host, children are being raised by nobody as both parents are busy making money.

Speaking in an interview with Punch, the actress noted that Nollywood should not be held responsible for the immoral activities the youth are engaged in.

In her words;

“It is not true that movies are responsible for the decadence in society. Yes, the industry educates on what is going on in society; but, are you telling me that Nigerians don’t raise their children at home anymore? I remember my upbringing; and I know what was real and what was not. What is happening in society these days is that mothers are so busy. With existing realities, both parents have to make money to keep their children on a certain level of affluence.

Now, children are practically been raised by nobody. My mother raised us. She had a big shop which she usually closed at the same time with our schools. She was a millionaire, but she would always go home to be with us. But, parents cannot afford to do that anymore. Back then, a lot of mothers stayed at home, but mothers cannot afford that anymore. The industry is not what is affecting society. Rather, it is reflecting the problems in society.”
