Nigerian Afro-Juju musician and father of one, Seun Anikulapo Kuti has come out to express his opinion about marriage and what it should represent.
On his Facebook page, the African 80 band leader said he did not believe in marriage as an institution but as a duty parents have to serve to their children, at least until they are 18.
“I am not married now because I don’t believe in marriage as an institution but I am even more tired of those that use it to destroy the mentality of their own children. Children are strong and very fragile at the same time and they get their security from the type of relationship and foundations u establish with them. Before u divorce yourselves over every dumb little thing can you please think about the effect on your child? Remove ur selfish clothes and put on the garment of empathy. It really breaks the little ones and if I am ever in a position to decide legislation, it will be law that as long as a child has been brought into this world in a married institution, the said couple have to be married till the child is 18! I think people will then realize that children are more important than your ego!!! LOVE YOUR KIDS PEOPLE.” He wrote.
