adebrave1: Sometimes ago before the flooding of data on Nairaland I asked a question on "Best way to correct Parents" and apparently I could deduce from the comments of Nairalanders that Africa Parents can't be corrected, then I began to wonder what brought about this.

Are they over hyped or what?
Your thoughts are important

Kanwulia: Very over-hyped.
Empty vessels make the most noise abi. . .SHOUTING IS NOT PARENTING!
The reason AFRICAN lags behind other intelligent continents willing to make real progress in the world!
Judging by the products on and off NL. . . .
I rest my case!

2CatWoman:

Kanwulia dear, sometimes there is method in your madness.

Most parents are more concerned with "Did that small child show correct respect" rather than if you are talking sense.

Kanwulia:

My madness is not fake!
I just tell it like it is o.
Not really interested in pleasing people.(not innarestid in friendship or romance on or offline)!
Never been my style!

As you can see, NL is very peaceful. . .till 'the gangs show up'. . .then I SHOW THEM!

I am pretty normal till I encounter mad people.
Then I show them that my madness was on vacation!

Errrrrm. . . AFRICAN PARENTS SHOUT TOOOOOO MUCH.
All they can teach their children is how to become BULLIES and domestically abusive adults. . . without ever learning to use their brains!
It becomes a GLOBAL, genetic nuisance.
Extremely disgusting.

crackhaus:
Oh the irony..

Kanwulia:

Yeah!
You reap what you sow!

If you sow respect. . . you reap respect.
If you act a fool. . . you get hacked!

Back to topic!

Acidosis: Proverbs 13:24
"Those who withhold the rod hate their children, but the one who loves them applies discipline."

What is discipline (verb)?
"train (someone) to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.

You cannot over-hype the importance of discipline. Discipline is here to stay, it is part of our culture. Infact, we're yet to reach the peak of discipline (as practised in countries like North Korea, Eritrea, China, Cuba, India, etc).

Try and offend an angry Chinese parent, then you'll realize 9ja parents aren't over-hyped. Atleast some of you still insult your aged parents and get away with it (until Karma do a reverse psychology using your kids).

crackhaus:
I take it you didn't get the irony I highlighted in your post then, it's on topic.

Kanwulia:

You really think ammo stoop to your level?
Not in the mood darling!
It is my day off. . .and I ain't spending it on you and your usual mess!


Cocopoosie is way down yonder. . . .move over there!
Na ya level be dat o!

crackhaus:
Kanwulia

carefreewannabe:

What discipline? Where?

Acidosis:
Parent to Child discipline via "shouting", "punishment" & rod application for those whose kids deserve the stick.

Kanwulia:

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees? Can I help you?

carefreewannabe:

Ok and what is the aim of it?

crackhaus:
I like your foot wear, is it the original one?
I want to buy the original one for somebody...

Acidosis:
...in order to maintain a minimal number of police stations and prisons in the country. If parents withdraw the disciplinary factor, most people would spend their youthful years in prisons.

Kanwulia:

Which is the original one?
Sorry, I only buy MADE IN CHINA!

carefreewannabe:

Ok, that means that Nigeria should have a very low crime rate because it is very normal for Nigerian parents to discipline their kids verbally and physically.

In addition to this, the gang-molest and smuggling rate are touching the skies.
