K#ss-a-thon: Govt Bans Planned 72-hour K#ssing Marathon Event, Gives Reasons

 

 

A flier obtained by journalists in Ado Ekiti, the state capital yesterday, about the event, has the inscriptions “SUGARTEE KISS-A-THON: 3-Day Kissing Marathon Date: July 7th – July 10th. In an attempt to break the Guinness World Records for the longest kissing marathon”.

 

The letter signed by the state tourism director, Mr Adebanji Adelusi on behalf of the ministry Permanent Secretary, Dele Ogunsemoyin described such an event as absurd and immoral.

 

The letter reads, “The attention of the State Government has been drawn to a planned hosting of ‘Kiss-a-thon’ in Ekiti State.

 

“According to information at the disposal of this Ministry, kiss-a-thon, a 3-day kissing marathon event, has been scheduled to hold on 7th of July, 2023 at one of the hospitality outlets in the State.

 

“This event is said to be planned towards setting a Guinness World Record. “Kiss-a-thon” as an event is not only absurd, unhealthy, immoral, and capable of denigrating the image of the state, it is a programme that runs counter to the values of the people of the state and therefore capable of plunging our Youths morally backward.

 

“In view of the foregoing, the Ministry of Arts, Culture, and Tourism hereby prohibits the hosting of such event or any other events like it in any facility that wishes to continue to operate lawfully in Ekiti State.

 

“To the above, you are hereby requested to convey the content of this Notice to the members of Ekiti State Hoteliers’ Association to effectively monitor their outlets against being used negatively to cause embarrassment to the Government and People of Ekiti State.”

Celebrating Father’s Day and Honouring Their Vital Roles

 

As we celebrate Father’s Day today, I extend my heartfelt greetings to all fathers in Ogun West Senatorial District, Ogun State, and across our great nation, Nigeria. This special day provides us with a unique opportunity to acknowledge and honour the profound impact that fathers have on our society and within our homes.

 

 

Celebrating Father's Day and Honouring Their Vital Roles

Fathers are the bedrock of the family unit. They provide guidance, support, and unwavering love, helping to shape the values and character of their children. The role of a father is multifaceted, encompassing being a provider, protector, mentor, and friend. It is through their daily sacrifices and commitments that the next generation is nurtured to become responsible and productive members of society.

In addition to their critical roles within the home, fathers are also indispensable to the development of our nation. They contribute significantly to various sectors, driving economic growth, fostering community development, and participating actively in civic duties. Their dedication and hard work are instrumental in building a stronger, more resilient society.

On this Father’s Day, I commend all fathers for their tireless efforts and steadfast dedication. Your contributions to family and nation-building do not go unnoticed. As we celebrate you today, let us also reaffirm our collective support for policies and initiatives that empower fathers to continue fulfilling their crucial roles effectively.

May God bless all fathers with good health, wisdom, and strength as they continue to lead their families and contribute to our nation’s progress.

Happy Father’s Day!
