The National Coordinator of the Association for Universal Moral
Education Nigeria, Rev. Sis. Therese Nwodo, has added her voice to the
controversial leaked lesbian sex video of former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke who was involved in a sex scandal.
According to her, poor family orientation made youths susceptible
to societal and peer influence and called for a stronger relationship
between the family and the child. She begged Nigerian public not to traumatize the beauty queen the more by dramatizing her situation, but
to offer her psychological and spiritual succour to overcome the crisis. She said the incident can be attributed to a breakdown of morals and values in the society.
“The lesbianism story about the beauty queen is unfortunate; it
is symptomatic of what is going on in the society now. Our values have
gone down; parents are no longer available to teach their children what
is socially acceptable.
“Whatever the case, whether she was lured or coerced, if the
values were there she should have had the character to say no but
because society itself rewards such act, she fell for it, so we must
look at our value system again.
“But this is not the time for a blame game. Somebody is now
traumatised and we should make effort to bring her back into the society
to become a normal human again,” she said.
Nwodo said the conference, with the theme, “Gardening the Mind as a Way Toward National Unity”, would address some of the moral issues facing the society.
Nwodo blamed the incident on the failure of parents to train their
children the right way. She said this while addressing newsmen in Awka
on Monday, ahead of the second annual conference of the association
billed for Abuja from November 1st to 4th, Nwodo described the
development as unfortunate.
According to her, the conference would discuss issues related to
corruption, violence, sexual immorality and other forms of moral
decadence.
