A Nigerian comedian, Emmanuel Inyang, also known as HOD Comedian, has attributed social vices like insecurity, prostitution, and drug abuse to the breakdown of good morals and poor parenting.
He identified a family nurtured by love, discipline, communication, support and shared values as a way to address social vices.
Inyang, who is the organiser of Family Fiesta 2026, said the family remains one of the foundations of a healthy society, stressing that when families create opportunities to connect, communicate, love, play and grow together, they build stronger relationships and positive experiences that can extend into the wider community.
He spoke ahead of the Family Fiesta with HOD Comedian 2026, a family entertainment experience scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at the Golden Court Hotel Open Space, 36 Ibiwoye, Liberty Estate, Ago Palace Way, Lagos.
According to Inyang, the motivation behind Family Fiesta is to create a safe, joyful and engaging platform where families can reconnect, strengthen their bonds, promote positive family values and create lasting memories through shared experiences.
He said the programme would also provide an opportunity for brands and communities to connect meaningfully with families in an authentic, experience-driven environment.
Inyang said the importance of the family unit in society could not be overlooked, describing it as one of the foundations of a healthy society.
“When families have opportunities to connect, communicate, love, play and grow together, they create stronger relationships and positive experiences that can extend into the wider community. Family Fiesta exists to provide one of those opportunities,” he said.
He further explained that the family is where many of the values that shape how people interact with the wider society are nurtured.
