- EP 9 - Cartoons & Pornography
In This Episode:
I found out something about a month ago that absolutely blew my mind. It is crazy what our kids could be exposed to.Some sick individuals decided to create a porn industry out of cartoon characters. What kills me the most, is that some even sicker individuals decided that it would be a great idea to create porn using cartoon characters from shows that our children love.
This episode is aimed at parents and guardians. We need to be very careful and do what’s necessary to protect our kids from the evils of this world.

In This Episode:
When you hear the word RACISM, immediately you think of a white man oppressing a “black man” or “people of color”.
In the USA, when you say “black man” or “people of color”, immediately you think an African American man, but what about the African Immigrant? What about the Latinos? The Indians? The Caribbean’s? Are we not people of color too?
Black on black racism exists and it’s about time we start talking about it.

In This Episode:
We live in a world where it’s ok for a man to marry a CHILD
We live in a world where this CHILD loses her right to education to satisfy the sexual desires of a psychopath she now calls a husbandWe live in a world where this CHILD is then forced to bear a CHILD for her ‘husband’We live in a world where this CHILD is then tossed aside, and made to live like a wild animal due to the repercussions of early childbirthWe live in a world where the GIRL CHILD is treated like she is less than human, and then grows up to only continue the fight to be treated like a human.It hurts to see that after all these years and all the advancements in technology, the Girl child still faces the primitive issues she has struggled with from day one.
Today I raise my voice LOUDER, as I speak up for the rights of the Girl Child.

In This Episode:
“My 4 year old told me he is gay” …How can a 4-year-old, who hasn’t been involved in any sexual activity know his sexual preference?
These are the exact thoughts that came to my mind when I heard a couple on TV make that statement. What could this child have been exposed to? What have these parents allowed their child to see or even do? It’s a whole different case when it’s a young adult or an adult that fully understands what sex and sexual preferences are, but with a child, I think that’s just not right.
As parents, we should not forget that our first job is to raise our children before anything else. Call me old-fashioned, call me a typical ‘African Parent’, but there are somethings that I just can’t agree with.

In This Episode:
I have never admitted it publicly, but for a while, I have had this love/hate feeling for MY country, Nigeria. From the place to the people, I just couldn’t deal with it. BUT, that feeling didn’t last very long because honestly, I REALLY DO LOVE MY COUNTRY! There are so many experiences and opportunities I have today that I won’t trade for anything in this world because it’s a big part of who I am.
That’s why in honor of our Independence Day (1st of October), I decided to dedicate this episode to my country. I am going to share with you, all the amazing things that I love about Nigeria.

In This Episode:
Growing up in Africa, parents hardly ever talked to their children about SEX. In fact, sex is probably not even brought up until you are married.
So of course, a lot of us children went exploring this mysterious thing called Sex. Some of us were lucky but others made grave mistakes that cost them too much.
It is important for us to have this conversation. Talk about sex, you might just be saving your children from some of the horrible things that come with having unprotected and casual sex.

When my kids were much younger, we had this ongoing battle about sleepovers. They always got invited to different people’s houses for sleepovers, but I wasn’t a fan of the idea. Especially if I didn’t know a lot about the person's family.
To many, I was being overprotective, but to me, I was doing what I felt was right.I’m going to share some of the reasons why I made this decision, and hope that it will be of help to someone out there.

Having over 2 decades of experience as an actor in Africa, I knew that I was prepared to take my career to the next level, and explore the mainstream movie Industry in America; “Hollywood”. However, it would seem that Hollywood just wasn’t ready for MY kind of "African".
Today, I will tell you about my experience with trying to break into the mainstream movie industry. The things I was told about my looks, my skin tone, my accent, and how I wasn’t “African Enough”.Mentioned In This Episode:1. Acting Coach (An Actors Playhouse) - http://www.anactorsplayhouse.com
