My Nigerian Folktales

LET'S DROP THE PRETENCE!

Let's not pretend like we do not know our nation, currently, is bleeding.
And our leaders, blinded by greed and thirst for power, ignore the parents' pleading.

How long shall we endure the lies
They tell everyday before our eyes
"We condemn this!" They tell us
Yet the nation incur loss.

They began in the North with the Chibok girls
Now in the South, our people defenceless
Regardless, we smile through our tears
And heartbreaks for our dears.

Now we wish our children today
Happy Children's Day
Yet some are currently in captivity
Experiencing as it were, negativity.

There's so much to say, yet the words fade away,
As the hardship grows heavier day by day.
I hate to be pessimistic but suffering abounds,
As fear walks freely through our troubled lands.

The bandits, the chaos, the ripple effects too,
Turning simple survival into battles anew.
It gets harder each moment to give children the best,
Yet we rise every morning to give them the best.

Yes, today we celebrate with laughter and cheer,
The beauty of childhood we all hold dear.
But let's not pretend that all is fine,
When pain hides behind almost every smile.

For the truth is alive in the struggles we see,
In parents fighting daily just to make ends meet.
Still, through the darkness, one thing remains
We'll keep fighting for these children thru the pains.

Happy Children's Day 😊

My Nigerian Folktales

MNF OFFICIAL STATEMENT

Having been in this niche for over seven years now, I think I can authoritatively address certain things I see going on, and I think it’s high time I talked about it. To better understand my concern, you might have to watch one of my videos titled THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT My Nigerian Folktales or read the channel’s ABOUT section.


Recently, I saw a comment on my page that helped me to put this in perspective and gave courage to talk about the matter. I would have or should have talked about this earlier than this but my initial reaction to the lewd thumbnails and captions on the several ‘African Folktales’ channels was, “How’s it my business? After all, it’s the viewer’s decision to watch”. But then, seeing that these channels actually tag my channel’s name on their posted videos to get the attention of viewers to watch their videos makes it my business. Hence, I have decided to address this.


I could go on and on mentioning the captions of these disturbing sexual stories cloaked as folktales that have gained popularity thereby polluting young minds. Nevertheless, let me clearly state here that My Nigerian Folktales is a storytelling brand that is family oriented. This means that the contents of this channel are not restricted to be watched by only children, but adults as well as children watching together comfortably.


Therefore, I implore storytellers, who have branded themselves ‘African Folktales’, to stop misleading viewers by referring to explicit, damaging and dangerously vulgar stories as folktales. They are NOT folktales! A true folktale should inspire values, not violate innocence. Please! Our stories deserve better.


In view of all that I have mentioned above, I hope to see better and well put together stories going forward. Thank you.
