Quotes taken from The Times Newspaper article – Thank you for your support to End FGM!

Efe Ambrose is the father of three children, two of whom are daughters. He now lives with his family in Scotland but remains attached to Nigeria and the fate of its people. Taken from The Times Interview below are some tweetable quotes to share about how Efe feels about the practice of FGM and his decision to join the #BornPerfect campaign.

In his recent interview for the national newspaper The Times he shares the following:

Retweet! Share! Like!

…For this to happen the parents need to educate the children and give them some sense of the effects and what can happen. They will not know the other side of it now, but in the long run, there is going to be a problem. There are so many side effects that they should know about and should be spoken about.”

When asked why FGM still happens… Ambrose responded:

“…Tradition, Culture, and belief. In Africa, tradition and culture are always key. I believe the lack of education is the key fact here, I believe every child should be able to have access to a good education. To learn, it can change so many things, in some parts of Africa they do not have that access, so the education, knowledge, and understanding about things like this simply are not there.”
