I was reading through The Nations News online and I came across an article talking a lady that once talked about the present ills in our society through her books . She specified on what children will become of in this present day 9 years ago. I was pretty shocked because what she talked about is what we are now facing in our society today , after Chrisland School sex disaster and Dowen college death .

Below is exactly what The Nation publish about what she talked about 9 years ago ....

Some nine years ago, Ifeoma Theodore Jnr E published her first fiction entitled: Trapped in Oblivion, a family-centred fiction that focuses on many issues  manifesting among youths in the country. In the book, she literarily foresaw some of these challenges, especially sex-related abuses that has been unknown to many.

Ifeoma Theodore Jnr E may not be among the most celebrated Nigerian authors, but her two books Trapped in Oblivion and My daughter and I continue to ring a bell among some critical institutions in the education sector.

Reacting to the recent video scandal and child bullying in two Lagos schools, she said they are time bomb waiting to explode saying, she saw it coming. She felt the explosion would have occurred much earlier than now going by what she experienced at some of the schools she visited for talks. Determined to be make a difference, she engaged in talks with students at different schools with a view to guide them right on sex education.

Recently, Chrisland School sex video went viral on social media resulting in the closure of the school by Lagos State Government for alleged misconduct of some of the students in Dubai. It was however reopened

According to her "We are not here to trade blames. It’s a value chain. As soon as we can understand and accept that we are all held liable, except these children, because they are under our care. It is the society we created for them. There’s no shortcut. We talk about Maltina Dance Hall. It is what you’ve given them. We talk about talent hunt. It’s what you have given them. With Big Brother Naija, they see so many things. I don’t think we are magicians. The point is, instead of trading blames, we should accept that it is what we have created for them. That’s what they are giving,” she said

According to her, the lasting solution is residual knowledge which the children can refer to. This, she said, is why she keeps on advocating for materials for knowledge. “It’s not enough to preach the gospel. What materials can these kids have that will be a constant reminder that this is what I know? Something that can make them engage with one another,” she added.

In one of her books Trapped In Oblivion, she mirrors the build up to what is happening in society today in a conversation between two teenagers

" I can’t wait to get my mobile phone. I won’t be surprised if it’s already waiting for me when I get home, Sade said. “I thought you said you will get yours in senior yea,” I said.

“What difference does it make, Eh? I’m through with my junior exams, I’m sure of passing. Kunle got his the day he finished his exams. Why do I have to wait? “Sade said.

“Hey, it’s ok,” Sandra said. “I hope to get mine too, though I don’t think it’s before my results come out and I think my parents are having second thoughts.”

“Second thoughts?” Sade and I asked.

“I don’t know. And I’m just saying I might not get one. My Mum keeps dropping hints that maybe all these technological advancements are a little bit too advanced for young girls like me,” Sandra said.

“My Dad promised to get me one but changed his mind because Mum doesn’t think I should get one just yet. Adaora says it’s because of video cameras many come with these days and the access to internet videos. What’s all the fuss about anyway by our parents?” I asked[/b]


Another highlight in her book pointed to a part about recorded sex videos just like the one that is similar to the Chrisland Dubai scandal ...

" I stopped talking to Kunle. Segun had the rape video and showed it to Kunle, and Kunle showed it to Sade. She saw it for a few seconds before she informed him it was Sandra’s cousin. …How could the video have spread so rapidly?” I asked. It was almost as if it was a virus, like a brutal wicked infection. And it had claimed a victim.

“It is all these new phones, these smart phones. I think the world will be a much more dangerous place for us as we grow up. You cannot hide anything; you cannot hide shame, you cannot hide mistakes

This article is very Educative to Parents and kids alike, I hope it hits front page .
