Children’s parties are fun. They are organized in such a way that nobody is left out. I enjoy how the whole family is made a part of especially Children’s Birthday Parties and the fun is wow.
However, even though we chose to ignore the lyrics and just dance along. Children can pick and memorize lyrics faster than most of us adults.
The Deejays may not really care about the type of song, all they want is to excite the audience with danceable beats. When next you attend or organize a child’s party, listen to the lyrics and you would be shocked at what we expose these kids to.
I can’t
remember any of those songs right now, when I do, I will include them here so that if possible we tell our Deejays to leave out those ones for adult parties. We are so responsible for what and how they turn out. These little things matter a lot.
The songs I hear kids sing these days, not to talk of the adult sexy dance steps and waist wriggling by kids. *There are actually dance steps for kids and most times those who win their dance competitions are not the bum bum dancers.
The kids sing and dance innocently but with time that innocence is lost as their eyes begin to open to the real meaning of the lyrics they sing. Let us please try our best to help the children by working with the Deejays at Children Parties.

Oh my! Anty you just spoke my mind! I was telling a friend this same thing awhile back, she dismissed it and then one day her daughter asked her "mummy what does take banana till you oyo mean" the mother couldn't reply, apparently that song was constantly being played in her car. Let us wisdom to bring up this kids, lots of things they see and hear are retained in their memory.
Ah…I always have a problem with these songs at parties. I cringe when I attend children parties by 'christians' and they are all dancing to very rubbish songs. The one that peppers me so much is 'Ashawo' by Flavour. Even in weddings…I see brides seriously dancing to it….that song is wrong on so many levels… Iyanya's 'Ur Waist' is another one. smh…
I've always condemned d songs and dance but pple think I'm lame. U attend children's parties and wen they compete for best dancers u should see d girls grinding their waist n parents clapping n cheering them on they best grinder always wins the gifts.
Exactly, some parents shld caution mostly their daughters and some dance steps. Even a 2 yrs old gal wants to wine her waist and do some sexy moves. But Eya no vex oooo ur blog is now TOO boring not that ur post are boring ooo but have noticed that is only Ahdaisy and Deborah that comments on every post and if the comments is more then 10, it means u added to it by replying.
Its a very big problem,the rate of immorality in our society of recent is quite alarming. It has eaten deep into the moral fabrics of our society.
could recall the while growingup,songs by Panam percy Paul like "come lets praise the Lord was our jam of life then at every party.
what would you say when I see the mothers screaming once Iyanya climbs the stage half clothed. Quite disheartening how u would visit a house looking for one of the parents,and their small daughter will be inside the room discussing the physical features of the visitor with her friends.

There are songs I sang as a kid and knew word for word but I didn't really know the meaning, cos seriously, I didn't just know. It's now that I'm all grown and I check the lyrics of those my old school faves and I'm like "What da!" Lol.
Many parents want dancing in their parties, but there are really no dance songs asides the 'roll your waist' songs and gospel songs.
Let's all just go back to the days of Barney and Friends songs at parties o jare and we'll all be fine 🙂

The matter tire me my sisters. I don talk, I don tire.
Omalicha…
It is all so wrong. When they start misbehaving tomorrow, we will start calling on God to change them.
Its terrible honestly. I shield my kids as much as possible. I was horrified when one day, my two year old bursted into 'chop my money….i dont care' and 'shake your bumbum' I didnt know whether to cry or laugh.
Lol.its boring now because all nasty commentators have been shut out..and seriously,we like it like that. Finally some sanity on this blog! Now we can comment and we won't fear ugly comments rearing up its head!
Please I'll do boring over nasty evil faceless comments any day. Thainz!
Anty eya well done! Carry go you hear?? Lol!
d same reason m nt a big fan of bday parties.i was discussing wt my hubby d oda day n i said thank God for d likes of Frank Edwardswho sing lovely songs dt can also b used in parties
Yes o, took d kids to dis family center Somewhere in Lagos. Time for dancing competition and they sstarted Playing iyanya's ur waist, mscheeew asked d kids to sit down, they sat down,but I could teLl my lil girl wish she was dancing with d other kids.
Its not funny again, evri where u go na, its like dey are allergic to gospel songs!
Guess wen I hv my own kids I can become paranoid bout diz tins. Hvnt attended a child's bday party in quite a while.
Went 4 a 2yr old's bday party last saturday wit my kids. Since then my daughter has not stopped singing "she carry front, she carry back, she's too packaged, i cant leave her". Btw she already knows wat d "front & back" is. May we not see 'Gobe.'
I disagree with you anon 12;20, except you want to tell us that all you enjoyed on this blog was insults and fights, then it must be really boring to you now. Santy has no adrenaline.
I love it this way jare, there are still comments. Even before, where you get hundreds of comments is on posts where people fight and reply themselves repeatedly. Go back and check. I like the sane wives connection filled with peace and love.
who can suggest better children party songs for us please?
Shock to hear all these talk about dancing and music,where I lived,during kids parties there are so many fun thing like facial painting,jumping in the tent,train ride.these are the things you see in kids centre.moral decadence is destroying family values in Nigeria.
May God help train our kids for us, Amen. Cuz if dey don't learn @ parties dey wil learn from sch. I rem d day my little nephew of 5yrs danced kukere. I was like wia did u learn dat step from and he said my friend in sch taught me. Ehen, d blog visitor saying here is bored biko leave it for us day way, we love it dis way..
Please u guys should cut Anon 12:20 some slacks…I won't deny d drama was kinda fun sha…. But if this is how Eya wants it,Fine… Just that right now,there is no comment to read and laff. Everything is so damn serious.
I miss Ezewanyi
Church agbasala lol@ she carry front and back.
I detest that song like ever. I can't imagine any of mine dancing to all this. much younger the fun of partying was Barney and friends, the gifts, new friends and hooking up with them later at club etc
Which way forward? We can only help but imbibe good knowledge and fear of God in kids.
Maka CHukwu the blog was fun somehow with all the constructive criticism and even yab sef. Somtimes I just can't help but laff loud.
My paddy paddy sister travel no return from the trip, I tire oooooh, Ezenwanyi I just dey look am with one eye until she delete. Now na me miss am pass.
More seriously the atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming now. Viva WC
Bia Aunty Eya biko am happy today, Pls post my comment
I hear u
Yes oh, Jay oh Jay.
Remembering my Primary School days as I watched Barney & Friend on NTA 2 Ch 5 when I'm home from school:
"I love you; you love me
We are happy fa-mi-ly
With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you-mwah!
Won't you say you love me too?"
Our world is increasingly becoming sex saturated, and the lyrics of a lot of songs so lewd and vulgar-it's really a problem. This is a salient one, as one hardly attends a children's party where the children are not shaking one thing or the other. I think that as parents, we owe it to our children to help them make responsible choices and also help to refine their taste in choice of music. Songs are quite powerful.
Its become the norm everywhet,its as if thry just have to play the hip wriggling and bump grinding songs before u know there's a party going on irrespective of the child's age.But come oh….even adults now even enjoy children's parties more than the children sef! otherwise they probably would have corrected all the abnormalies…smh
Chai! It's good to know that people share my sentiments concerning this issue. I don talk about it tire, and pple look at me as though i'm odd and say that they see nothing wrong with it. I've seen kids twisting their miniature bum bums at parties and grown up, full-blown adult men fix their gazes on their bums. It's sick really. I'm sure kids can have party fun without all those trashy songs. At my kids parties, they play more of games sha, and it's still fun!
