- Egemba Chinonso Fidelis, known as Aproko Doctor, is a Nigerian medical doctor and media personality.
- He has criticized the common practice of referring to children as “my wife” or “my husband.”
- Aproko Doctor encourages adults to stop this behavior.
Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, the health advocate urged adults to desist from the practice.
He wrote:
“Adults should stop referring to kids as ‘my husband’ or ‘my wife’. Stop it.”
His statement sparked mixed reactions online. While many users agreed with him, describing the expression as inappropriate and potentially harmful, others argued that it is simply a harmless term of endearment often used for children.
Some commenters further noted that such remarks, even when said playfully, could normalize inappropriate behavior and indirectly promote issues related to pedophilia and child molestation.
