“No child asked to be born! You brought them to this world without their consent”- Aisha Yesufu cautions parents

Popular Nigerian activist, Aisha Yesufu has cautioned parents not to put too much pressure on their children.

Yesufu made this known in a series of tweets spanning over four years.

The popular activist who shared a photo of a message she and her husband received from their daughter, Aliyah in 2018, eventually retweeted the age long tweet while admonishing parents not to blackmail their parents just to get respect.

Aliyah Yesufu is based in the United Kingdom, UK. In her text message, she thanked her parents for their selfless love and contributions to her growth.

“Mummy and Daddy I am really grateful for all you have done for me and I may not show it all the time but I appreciate all the sacrifices you make to give me good opportunities in life.” Aliyah’s message read.

The mother of two, while sharing the screenshotted text message, admonished parents to love their wards unconditionally.

She said parents must not blackmail their children to be kind to them just because they (the parents) have done so much for the children.

It is their responsibility to take care of their children as no child was asked to be born. They were all brought into the world without their consent.

Yesufu bothered why parents blackmail their children by counting favours as if they gave birth to the child for others to look after.

Children ought to be loved unconditionally, she said as according to her, children have their own individual and independent minds and their opinions should be respected.

In another tweet, the mother of two stated that children must be given the privilege to explore, to see things for themselves and make their own independent choices.

However, they can be guided from a very tender age.

She said, “I can never understand this I carried you for nine months and I am working hard because of you emotional blackmail by parents.”

She added, “no child asked to be born! You brought them to this world without their consent! deal with it!

“Stop blackmailing your children & let them be. Good morning.”

The following tweet read, “the best thing you can give your child is UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

“Love them not for who they are or what they can do for you. Love them as special gifts from God.

“Don’t pile pressure on them. Don’t force them to do things your way. Nurture & guide them. Most importantly listen to them.

She added, “this was sent to us by our daughter. You don’t need to emotionally blackmail your children for them to love and respect you. Give them UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! They are human beings with their own thoughts. Respect that!
I pray one person gets this and understands and work with it!” Yesufu captioned the screenshotted text message.

Aisha Yesufu is a popular Nigerian activist and entrepreneur. She came to the limelight in April 2014 when she marched with protesters to the National Assembly in Abuja against the abduction of over 200 girls from a secondary school in Chibok, Nigeria.

The march resulted in the BBOG (Bring Back Our Girls) movement.
