National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) has called on parents and the federal government to support its campaign against comprehensive sex education in schools.

Samira Jubir, president of the association, made this call at a news conference on the campaign against comprehensive sex education in Abuja.

According to her, “we owe it to our future leaders and society to impact moral values as a lifestyle to our children”.

She also called on parents not to be passive to what their children read and watch..

According to her, parents should be aware of the risk involved in excessive dressing of the children.

“As parents, we should make sure our lifestyle portray what we tell our children,” she said.

“In other word, we need to draw the line with the kind of dressing our children put on and the kind of books they read.

“The kind of books our children read must be in consonance with our values.

“The Nigerian child does not belong to any family but rather belong to God, so we must ensure we play our roles.”

Jubir further said that the association was partnering with parents to ensure proper guidance of the children.

She also urged the government to bring NAPPS into the development of curriculum and approval of books in the country.

She said the campaign would kick start on July 8, at the old parade ground, Garki, Abuja.

Also, Olubukola Dosunmu, the immediate past president of NAPPS, appealed to the public sector to look through the contents of the textbooks.

She also called on parents not to leave the whole work to caregivers but also allocate time to look at what the children were taught at school.

Dosunmu added that children should not be allowed to watch any programme on the television that could adversely affect them.

“It is high time parents stood up to their responsibilities to ensure proper care and upbringing of these children and also know what they do in school,” she said.

“This is because we don’t want what will take our pride, values and identity away.

“Therefore, it is a collective responsibility to ensure we work against comprehensive sexual education in schools.”

Dorothy Okwuenu, vice president, NAPPS, said collective collaboration of all stakeholders would help prevent comprehensive sexual education in schools.

Okwuenu, who aligned herself with her colleagues, said many children were abused because parents were not observant.

She added that many parents leave their children in the hands of caregivers and maids, which should be corrected.

Oxlade earns first RIAA certification with "Kulosa" | fab.ng

Nigerian music sensation Oxlade made a global impact with his 2022 hit single “Kulosa”. The track quickly went viral and catapulted him to international stardom. Two years after its release, “Kulosa” has officially been certified gold in the United States, having achieved 500,000 units in sales.

The track, one of the most successful performances ever on Colors Studio, enjoyed commercial success. It amassed over 400 million streams on Spotify and racked up over 187 million views across two music videos on YouTube.

“Kulosa” particularly resonated in the United States. It spent several months on the Billboard Afrobeats Chart, peaking at No. 5.

This certification marks a significant milestone for Oxlade. This is because “Kulosa” became his first song to receive an RIAA plaque. The track has also earned certifications in several countries. These countries include France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland.

“Kulosa” is one of the standout tracks from Oxlade’s debut album, “Oxlade From Africa”, which features collaborations with Nigerian music heavyweights Wande Coal and Flavour, Ugandan musician and politician Bobi Wine, Congolese star Fally Ipupa, and Jamaican artist Popcaan.

Initially, Oxlade has secured his place among RIAA-certified Nigerian artists. Additionally, this achievement aligns him with other successful Afrobeats musicians. Meanwhile, CKay’s “Love Nwantiti” continues to dominate with its impressive 7X platinum status.

Furthermore, this hit single steadily advances toward becoming Afrobeats’ first Diamond-certified track. Consequently, Oxlade’s certification contributes to the growing global recognition of Nigerian music.

Finally, his success reinforces the significant impact Afrobeats artists are making in the international music industry.

Burna Boy responds to allegations of impregnating a lady | fab.ng

Controversy erupts as Burna Boy, the Grammy-winning Nigerian music star, confronts serious allegations from a woman named Stella. The accuser boldly claims that the globally renowned artist, whose real name is Damini Ogulu, abandoned her after she became pregnant with his child.

Stella’s detailed account came through a recent interview where she paints a picture of a three-year romantic relationship with the “City Boys” hitmaker. She describes how their relationship progressed to the point of pregnancy, emphasizing Burna Boy’s initial commitment to support their unborn child. According to her narrative, the singer’s attitude dramatically shifted, leading to his complete withdrawal from the situation.

The woman’s story takes an even darker turn as she recounts a series of unfortunate events. She describes a harrowing break-in at her residence, though she doesn’t directly attribute it to the singer. The accumulated stress from these circumstances, she claims, ultimately resulted in a devastating miscarriage of their unborn child.

Burna Boy responded to these allegations swiftly and unequivocally.

The African Giant, known for his unapologetic demeanour, categorically dismisses Stella’s claims. In stark contrast to her portrayal of their relationship, he characterizes her as a sex worker, specifically stating that he paid her 20,000 naira for her services.

The Grammy winner further discredits her by revealing that she belongs to a group of individuals who have previously made unfounded claims about his potency.

“Meanwhile this na of the first people wey call me impotent o. And Na 20k be her money that year normally of which I give am o. Abeg enter this comment section if you know this girl that year and confirm if I dey lie say na N20k be her money,” he wrote in a now-deleted post on his X page.
