On his Instagram page, Arole lamented that parents today are often too occupied with partying and social media to spiritually guide their children. He contrasted this with earlier times when parents prayed at midnight, anointed their children, and took them on spiritual retreats.
“I fear for this generation. Our parents put anointing oil on our heads, prayed for us at midnight, took us to the mountain see the product of those labours. Some people in this generation are going from club to club, with lives full of gossip and dragging on social media. What will be the product of their kids? Shisha Baby!!!”
