Tell me which of us especially those raised in Nigeria didn't feel like slapping a parent when we were growing up?

so you know......
i was at a party recently and one of the guests asked if any of us as a kid ever thought or questioned maybe our parents weren't really the biological parents with the kind of strict discipline we had growing up.......we all raised our hands!

so what's the difference between what was said behind you or in front of you? the only reason a child in nigeria will not talk back to his parents is because he would get thrashed not that he's not offended by the actions of his parents like his counterpart abroad....



your child is human not an animal or a slave in the 6th century.



yet more hypocrisy....
in spite of the draconian corporal punishment and strict upbringing, nigeria still ships the highest number of pröstitutes to europe so what happened to the strict upbringing and the religious beliefs? make una dey deceive unaselves with the barbaric ways of raising a child!

Long may your days be.

i live to see your kids beat the crap out of your crude reasoning ways.

spare the rod and spoil the child.... that isnt in your bible too huh?

keep on living in this pseudo planet.

I know o my brother.
We even used to discuss amongst ourselves as kids how mummy or daddy was wicked(depending on who's turn it was to be bad cop) I remember asking my dad one time if mummy was really my mother, he just laughed and explained that she loved me very much and wants me to be the best I can be hence her strictness, looking back now I just smile but seriously it wasn't funny at all.

I see comprehension is the problem here, I only felt like slapping which is very normal but never carried out the act.

Feeling and doing are two different things, collect a refund from your basic english teacher.

Keep lying to yourself, except your parents never did something that angered you which is practically impossible.

hahahahaha
so what happened to the ones whose parents smacked with the rod? see how their lives turned out.. the rod made them become pröstitutes, robbers, ritualists, drug pushers, etc. are you sure the rod is working? the last rod that worked belongs to moses.....any other rod since then is just child abuse!

You make it sound like they don't have such kids abroad, when a kid grows up and decides to become whatever then he should be held accountable for his actions as far as I'm concerned.

sad but why would a kid talk back to his or her elders? To prove what? That they are really outspoken and rude?... By the time an outspoken and upfront child embarrasses you, infront of your friends and colleagues, and you see the frown and shock on their faces, then u will understand. A child should be trained on how to listen , think before asking questions mildly , not lousely. And when that outspoken child grows up, especially the mum the op says na devil dey display, abi?
Don't worry when he grows up, I pray say the Devil no go truly display... Then the mother will know what unrest , high bp, and fear means, especially when she is old and frail.
Av seen such scenarios, happen on several occasions, and where does it leads? Uncontrollable tears and incessant increase of Bp, which leads to untimely death of such parents.
To before warned , is to before armed...am not saying terrorize a child when bringing him or her up, but train children wisely and firmly.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? Let's even agree what you wrote up there is true, so you don't know that many factors contribute to the decisions people make?

By the time better hunger waya you for here or you trek endlessly in search of work to no avail, you no go even know when you carry laptop enter badoo begin search for potential magas.

Who is naughtier really?If I should use my first son and my kid brother as a case study,then I must say that the UK is no where to raise kids.

Though a toddler,my first son seems to be unusually sensitive fo his age.He shows concern by asking what is wrong once an adult shows some signs of discomfort,he doesn't hesitate to offer drinking water and say sorry at such times,while my kid brother who was born and brought up in the UK will not look at your face before making his demands.

You dare not raise your voice at my kid brother as he ll quickly thunder back with "How dare you talk to me like thaaat?(In his funny accent).My son in the same circumstance will make a gesture of sorry by waving his open palm or saying sorry severally.

My toddler can go for little errands which most people will doubt he comprehends when I send him but he sure delivers,you dare not send my kid brother as he won't hesitate to ask"are you nuts?".

If my toddler attempts a tantrum,I just mAke the shhhh sign and you see him behave,try same with my kid brother and be ready for a show down.

I think parental unbringing mattErs a lot in this as my approach and my mum's is very different.I don't spare the rod where is necessary and I don't hesitate to spoil him silly too.I don't hesitate to apologise to him or say thanks when situation demands it.This has totally robbed off on him as "sorry","thank you"always come very handy to him,for my lil bro,reverse is the case.

I blame it on upbringing though not location.Am raising the Naija way,mum is raising the british wAy lol!.Environment will also influence parental upbringing,as most parents abroad will rather raise their kids the way westerners do,When they become couch potatoes you ll hear them crying foul.

So what happened to the discipline the incessant flogging ingrained in you? Or that discipline suddenly flew out in the time of hunger?

Is discipline for times when things are smooth or when they are rough? I think discipline is for both

the so-called respect is shrouded by hypocrisy.....
the kids in naija are as bad as the ones abroad. the only difference is the kids abroad are trained to be upfront and outspoken. the ones in naija are trained to listen and not talk back. their minds are the same but one is free to express himself while the other is meant to keep mute!

My dear brother get real jare, if you will.

Ofcourse discipline is supposed to last a life time but it doesn't in some cases that's all I'm saying, especially because people tend to change as they grow older, they start making decisions for themselves, that little kid might want to be an armed robber when he grows up but because his parents were responsible for him and didn't let him have his way, he postponed it to when he felt he is old enough to do whatever he wanted.grin

freecocoa: Ehen now you come, so you see? Even for the bad things wey lagos kids sabi, onitsha kids sabi am pass.

If you want talk of children wey sabi book wella, check yoruba kids and igbo kids wey grow up for north.
That is so not true jor. . . Kids that grew up in the north? Are you serious?
Guy, I have seen some realy bright kids in average schools in Lagos, not neccessarily Yoruba or Igbo though. In general terms, Lagos kids speaker better English with a likeable accent compared to their counterpart both in other SW and Eastern states, that's why most times people confuse their attractive accent and better english to being more brilliant.
