Omotola, stop blaming bloggers, you’ve scored a D minus in raising Meraiah.- Alonge Osagie writes.
This is an open letter written by the Netng writer Alonge Osagie, in response to Nollywood actress Omotola Ekehinde's grouse over some bloggers who made posts on her 14 year old girl, and caption her photos ''hot & sexy''.
she was 'appalled' that her 'innocent' minor was termed that, and she demanded apology from the said bloggers. some of them have already taken the posts down.
in her words;
‘Thank you to everyone who wished Meraiah a happy birthday. However, going to a 14 year old’s ‘private’ online accts to post her pictures for public viewing is totally inappropriate. Her father and I are horrified as parents and guardian that a minor’s picture can be paraded online as ‘hot’ ,’sexy’ etc.’, she wrote on her official Facebook page.But one blogger and writer for NETng is having none of that ''putting the blame on bloggers for putting her daughter in the spotlight'' thingy, and here below is what he wrote about the issue;
It should be noted that as at the time Meraiah’s photos were posted by bloggers, herInstagram account was set on ‘public’.see more of Osagie's points, and Meraiah's sexy photos on instagram after the cut
Dear Omotola, I’d like to say that the media has done nothing, absolutely nothing wrong and do not owe you an apology for publicising your daughter’s photos. You should be the last person pointing fingers as it clearly shows you’ve scored a D minus in raising this cute kid..
Meraiah Ekeinde is four years away from adolescence but by merely studying her Instagrampage, you’d be amazed at the kind of photos a 14-year-old girl puts up – we are talking sexualised seflies, showing off her ‘curves’, pouts, using hashtags like #StaySexy and posting memes containing vulgar language like the word ‘F*CK’.
I’m sure Meraiah means no harm and she is in the early stage of youthful exuberance but dear Omotola, do you approve of an underage turning up her sexiness in the eye of the public? Why hasn’t she been cautioned to take down these sexually suggestive photos? Why is it that you have failed to understand that Meraiah, a minor, has no business trying to act like your fellow desperate Nollywood actresses on social media?
Instead, you choose to be horrified by the media calling her ‘Hot and sexy’, accusing them of intruding on you poor little girl’s privacy. Madam, you’ve got it all wrong. Are those photos ‘Hot and sexy’? Oh my, yes they damn are!
It’s a shame that up till now, these photos haven’t been deleted. It’s a shame that you’ve asked the media to behave like adults and draw the line when you’ve not acted in the same faith.
In February 2012, US rapper Nas’ 18-year-old daughter Destiny Jones posted a box of condoms on her Instagram page. The media and community attacked Nas and his baby mama Carmen Bryan for the post which was subsequently taken off. Nas didn’t come out defending his daughter or attacking the media, he rather blamed himself on his song‘Daughters’.
Dear Omotola, you always profess the idea of changing the world, it’s time to start from your house; clean it up.
Do you agree with this writer?
#i kinda do. is that a 14 year old in that mini dress in that last photo??
Omotola, charity begins at home!
