Nollywood actress Angela Okorie has sparked a heated conversation online after issuing a strong warning to parents about a common habit she believes is unsafe kissing children mouth-to-mouth.
In a recent statement, Angela advised mothers and fathers to stop the practice, stressing that it may put children at risk. According to her, lip-kissing kids isn’t just unnecessary, it can also expose them to germs and infections they’re too young to handle.
She emphasized that children have sensitive immune systems, and parents should be mindful of how easily illnesses can be transferred through saliva. Angela suggested that showing affection should be done in healthier ways, like hugging, kissing on the cheek, or simply expressing love through care and protection.
Her message has triggered mixed reactions online. While some people agreed with her, saying it’s an important hygiene and safety reminder, others argued that it depends on culture and parenting style.
Still, Angela’s point remains clear: parents should be cautious and prioritize their children’s health, even in the smallest everyday habits.
