Catch your daughter in prostitution?

Most university campuses are replete with stories of daddy’s girls in the Aristo business. Gbemi, 26, is a good example. She was caught ‘red-handed’ by her own father who had come to pay her a visit while she was returning from a weekend ‘trip’.
We asked respondents how they would react if they catch their daughters in the shameless business of Aristos. Their responses:

SUNDAY VIVIAN
I will neither chase her away nor disown her. But I will advice and talk to her, making her realize that she should take her education as priority in life; that she should face the future and put aside every distraction that could ruin her future.

MRS. CHINYERE
If she’s caught, I will not react at the scene. In other words, I will pretend I did not know what is going on.
I will wake her in the middle of the night and start counseling her, telling her the implication of what she did. I will pray that God renews her because she does not need to be spoken or shouted on harshly, it could make her become worse. As a wise and good mother, I would talk to her politely while counseling her.

MRS. LEWA
Definitely I would feel sad. But as the saying goes, there is no smoke without a fire. I will sit her down, ask her few questions like: what went wrong? Why the conduct? Theses I will do in love and understanding. After these, I will take to the final solution, which is prayer. Only prayer can make impossible things possible.

MRS. LYDIA AGBEBI
Being harsh on her could further lead to her untimely destruction and add to her frustrated soul. The best thing is to immediately call her to know if there is anything she is being deprived of. If we are not guilty of this, it means she was influenced by friends in school or due to covetousness.
The solution is to arrange for prayer and fasting for her whenever she is back from school. Make sure she doesn’t go out for those periods of personal encounter with God, let her humble herself under the mighty hand of God. At this period, she would have been completely sober and will see those things she did as irritating.

Most ladies had good and decent parental backgrounds, but when they get to higher institution of learning, they get swept away by peer pressure. Some of these girls, we believe are in school but they hardly stay in school, but sleep around with lecturers for money, pleasure, live couple lives and so on. Some are rarely known in their departments, while some pass their exams by the whiskers. These children when they get back home are the greatest pretenders ever, they dress most decently at home like saints but on campus they are devils, are into cultism and deadlier acts. Parents are enjoined to periodically check on their wards in school, to ensure they are still in right tune.

UWATA THERSESA
I definitely will be sad because that is not the kind of life I want for her. I’ll tell her the implications of being a prostitute. Some ladies engage themselves in such acts due to lack of adequate parental care. Their parents are not there for them when they were needed, so the vacuum is therefore created and the repercussion becomes the parents’. Children need care, love and trust. When they are denied these, they take to the advice of their peer groups and once they are addicted to whatever they do, it is difficult to get them back.

MRS. ATUNWA
It means she is no longer responsible; she has gone wild and needs serious prayers. It takes patience and endurance to cure madness; she needs rehabilitation and with time, I believe she will be normal again.

VIVIAN EYABEVWE
It is really bad and that’s how I would feel because as a mother, it will be the worst thing that could happen to me. I won’t because of that throw he. out of the house. I will simply call her and talk sense to her. I will try as much as possible to satisfy her needs, so that she won’t go back to her vomit. Then I’ll keep watching her from time to time.
I will start monitoring her, and, if her school’s far from home, I wouldn’t for such reason withdraw her but commit her to God’s hand for total guidance and pray for the spirit of self control.

LOLA OYETUNJI
The fact that I know I give her whatever she needed should not, in any instance, take her into prostitution. So what would her excuse or complaint be? But peradventure she takes to prostitution; I will easily know it is the devil at work and would quickly liberate her through prayer.

MRS. OLUCHI
I will be angry. I will wake her in the middle of the night and talk to her, warn her not to tarnish my image or the family’s. I believe she would have been in the trade longer than my calculation; counseling might not change her, but prayer because it is an evil spirit.
We shouldn’t be surprised that secondary school girls, some as young as 12, 13 practice prostitution in hotels; reasons not adduced to poverty, but a destructive spirit of the end time, which works in the lives of the disobedient children.
