Mallam Ali Temitope Abdussalam, an Ibadan-based Islamic cleric, has recommended parents to provide their children suitable schooling before they become adults.
Abdussalam, the Director of the Ali Institute for Qur’an Memorization in Ibadan, stated that failing to provide children with the right home and spiritual upbringing they require at a young age may result in regret later in life.
These revelations were delivered by Abdussalam on Sunday during the graduation of his students in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State.
He stated that in these time of social vices among millennials, parents must provide moral upbringing and teachings to their children in order to prepare them for the future, noting that society is becoming more corrupt on a daily basis.
He said that the only way to get out of this mess is for the parents to equip their children properly at a tender age so that they can be better citizens when they grow old.
“Always remember that failure to give them the spiritual diet they need today will lead to regret tomorrow regardless of their level of western education.
“There is no doubt in the fact that society is getting more corrupt by the day as what our children are exposed to ranging from music to movies and negative exposures on the social media are most destructive to their moral and spiritual senses.
“We are all witnesses to the aftermath effect of these tools being deployed by shaytan.
“Unfortunately, parents that are expected to explain to these innocent children the evils in our society, their effects and how to avoid them are busy seeking daily livelihood and not having enough time to guide these children,” he said.
