Keep Your Virginity for your partner – Singer Jodie Tells Nigerians

Nigerian singer Jodie, who rocked the waves with her ‘Kuchi kuchi’ song and stole many hearts has openly affirmed that she doesn’t believe in sex before marriage.
In a new interview with Ynaija, the singer re-affirmed her position on sex and virginity, saying :
“The question of sex and virginity is a private one.There are many people out there who don’t know who they are or where they are going. Forget the media hype and paparazzi: if people would truthfully bare their inner thoughts, no one wants to stay with someone who is “the national cake”.

Keep your privates to yourself and your wedded partner. Forget all that “new age” or “modern” talk on sex and virginity. It may look “cool” to be a sexually loose person on television or
magazines, but in real life, people actually respect those who have self control. If the whole world says virginity is archaic, would you want your daughter/son to “go with the flow”

Delving on to how she sees the Nigerian music industry, she said “I think it’s a bit too clone-like: most people are singing about the same things or using the same beats – as long as everyone is dancing. Although there is a huge growth (business-wise) there is almost no individuality and creativity. If money is the only goal, then that is not a bad thing; but if there are other reasons for music (and I believe there are), then award-giving institutions should reevaluate and reset their goals and actions.
Not everyone can continue singing “sensible” and “creative” music if, at the end of the day, the ones who do the very opposite are greatly rewarded financially and otherwise. I cannot count how many times I’ve heard Nigerians, public figures and people whose opinions are widely respected say, “Nigerian artistes sing meaningless songs.” I’ve heard such on radio, television and even read write-ups about it on social media; but when it comes to reward, almost no one wants to recognize or reward the very few who render quality. It means that artistes are rewarded for doing the things that people claim shouldn’t be done.
