Mr Macaroni Admonishes Parents Who Allow Their Kids To Imitate His Skits
Popular Nigerian skit maker, activist, and content creator Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni, has admonished parents who give their kids the freedom to imitate his skits.
Mr Macaroni's admonition stems from a viral video of a young boy, Akorede, the Son of the source, who replicated his skits, much to the dismay of many netizens, who lambasted his parents for giving him such freedom.
The skitmaker has now shared his opinion on the young boy who replicated his skit, noting how it was wrong for parents to give their young ones any kind of creative freedom, as it would create a negative lasting impact on such a child no matter the fame such a child attains.
He advised that there are many ways children could go viral in showcasing their talents, but replicating a mature content is not one of such ways, and parents should take note of it.
He made this known on his X handle:
“Dear parents and guardians,
I understand the urge to want to make the most out of our uniquely talented children.
I however strongly believe that we must apply caution while doing so.
We must showcase their talents in ways appropriate for their respective ages.
We must put our children first and groom them right.
That way, we are able to develop the durability and longevity of their talent as opposed to a short viral moment.
We owe them and our society that guidance.
My love always
Children are uniquely gifted. While I believe in catching them young, I also understand that we must groom and direct them to create at a pace suitable for their respective ages.
As they grow, they can be allowed more creative freedom.
One step at a time.”
