Why I Introduced My Daughter To Clubbing, Alcohol At 17 – Laide Bakare

Actress Laide Bakare has sparked controversy by revealing why she introduced her 17-year-old daughter to clubbing and alcohol.

In a recent interview with content creator Mr. Lilgaga, Bakare stated that she took pride in being the one who introduced her daughter to nightlife, anticipating that her daughter would reference her in her future memoir.

“I took my daughter to the club for the first time at 17. And I like the fact that in her memoir, she would reference me as the person who introduced her to alcohol and clubbing,” she stated.

The revelation has elicited mixed reactions, with many criticising Bakare for her parenting decisions.

Some have described her actions as reckless and questioned her judgment as a mother.

It_hafizski wrote, “Introducing a 17-year-old to alcohol and nightlife is reckless parenting, not cruise. At that age, guidance and discipline should come first, not clubbing.”

Just_2undey opined, “Some of these people are not worth the pedestal the people place them on. All these coming from someone that calls herself a mother.”

DamiTheOG said, “Many of those you admire are often poor role models as parents.”
