However she went on to say that come most of our children these days, especially the girls, have no integrity anymore. She made more emphasis on this explaining what she meant.
“When you come across some of our children these days, especially the girls, you would notice they don’t have integrity anymore.They lack morals and manners and these are the things that make a woman.
These are part of the content. The new generation of youths is not growing with our culture, so we need to retrain them on how to behave. They have to imbibe the culture of respect for elders and how to behave like a proper lady.
They also need to learn how to host visitors; do fine dinning; how to speak, sit down, talk; eat certain kinds of food. We hardly train people on some of these things in Nigeria.

People don’t believe they are necessary. But it’s very important. I attended Queens’ College, Lagos and way back then; they used to teach us these things.
