On her TV show Yesterday, Morayo Akabashorun said:
”As much as we are trying to identify the evils out there, let us not endanger our families by
living in constant suspicion of our husband and the possible threats they pose to their
daughters. If you trust him, don’t see him, as a potential threat.
I actually trust my husband but I’m just being careful because people that have experienced this
kind of situation, also trusted their husbands and yet, it happened.
I absolutely trust my husband but I won’t take chances and have him bathe my daughter,
because whether we like it or not, there is something flying in the air these days that is
encouraging imbalance and immoralities. ”
The statement from the Your View presenter drew lots of criticisms from people who think she
indirectly labeled her husband a pedophile. Responding to the reactions, Morayo Aka-Bashorun
shared a video on Instagram in which she stated that her husband is not a pedophile.
”My husband is not a pedophile, he’s a highly responsible, decent man. He can never do
anything to hurt any of his children.
Psychology has told us to teach children to respect their personal spaces and ensure that family
members don’t come too close.
We need to define what is too close as a child.
So, I’m glad the conversation has started, I’m glad we’re talking about it. Let us understand that
these are real life issues that are happening.”
She captioned the video:
I will normally not do this but I feel I should respond. It’s painful that people think I would in
anyway suggest that my husband is a “potential abuser”. Sad. The truth is that the show allows
us to state varied views which should be respected and understood. So understand this, there
are women who have used their life to vouch that their husbands would never abuse their
daughters yet we see it happen. Let’s make it easy for those women to speak up. Let’s make it
easy for girls to speak up about their abusers, even if it’s their father!
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
