Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode, widely recognized for her role as “Toyo Baby” in the hit TV series Jenifa’s Diary, is raising a red flag about what she calls the “alarming” rate of teenage sexual activity in today’s society.

In a heartfelt Instagram post she shared, the 30 year old actress expressed deep concern about the growing normalization of premarital sex, particularly among teenagers. Olayode who has long been vocal about her Christian values and personal journey did not hold back as she addressed what she believes is a moral crisis among the younger generation.

“What is your body count?” she began, referencing a question that has become common among teenagers and young adults online. “The things I hear these days, especially from teenagers, make me speechless and break my heart.”

The actress took issue with the popular mindset that youth is a time to make all possible mistakes, including sexual ones. Instead, she emphasized that sex is far more than just a physical act. It is spiritual, she said, and reserved for the sanctity of marriage.

“Sex is spiritual. People only talk about the fun part, but nobody really talks about the spiritual aspect of it,” she wrote. “Sex and other sexual activities are for married people.”

Olayode, who has shared her own struggles and beliefs about purity in the past, credited her upbringing particularly the influence of her mother for shaping her convictions. She explained that her mother’s guidance remains a powerful voice in her life and decisions today.

“There are certain things I still cannot do now; I keep hearing my mother’s voice in my head,” she noted. “If we are not intentional about the way we raise our children, we won’t be happy with the kind of adults this generation produces.”

Citing Proverbs 22:6, which urges parents to “train up a child in the way he should go,” Olayode encouraged parents and guardians to be more proactive and involved in the moral upbringing of their children. She warned that giving children unchecked freedom may do more harm than good.

“We cannot just give them a free hand. Sometimes, too much freedom is destructive,” she wrote. “If we cannot correct them, let us not support them.”

This isn’t the first time Juliana Olayode has used her platform to speak on values, faith, and societal expectations. In a world where celebrity voices often glamorize excess and experimentation, hers remains one of caution and conviction one that calls for a return to discipline, self-restraint, and spiritual awareness.
