Dr. Nonye Soludo, wife of Anambra State Governor, has blamed the high rate of social diseases and vices on family carelessness and a lack of parental care.
The governor’s wife, who made the statement on Friday, May 26 in Awka to commemorate the 2023 International Day of Families, which was organized by the Anambra State Ministry of Health in collaboration with the State Ministry of Women and Social Welfare, advised people not to have children if they are unable to train them.
“There are many vices in our society today because the foundation of the family is faulty.” “Parents are too busy to prioritize their children’s upbringing,” she remarked.

“Children engage in robbery, cultism, drug addiction, exam fraud, hooliganism, thuggery, gambling, smoking, rape, and other crimes as a result of a lack of parental care,” according to the report.
“We must prioritize our families and the upbringing of our children.” “Family is everything, and the improvement of society begins with the family,” she explained.
Mrs. Soludo expressed her unhappiness with parents that employ their children as housekeepers and guardians who maltreat or abuse youngsters.
“It is sad that parents shirk their responsibilities and hand over their children to strangers who maltreat and abuse them.” If you are not prepared to train children, do not have any, or have only the amount of children you can care for and raise to be responsible members of society. I also urge our women to cease abusing and mistreating their housekeepers. “Love them and treat them as if they were your own children,” she stated.
