Has Any Of Your Parents Ever Woken You Up In The Midnight To Punish You? Why? by englishmart(m): 12:06pm On Jul 11, 2022
Nigerian parents are infamous for punishing their kids at midnight. That was my mom's best time to punish you when you misbehave in the day. The offence that warrants such late night punishments are usually grievous ones. I can't remember how many times I was woken up at night for a couple of doses.
One of the reasons I still vividly remember was one time, I was about 12 then, my aunt came to to visit, I was served food, but I kept disturbing my mom that I wasn't satisfied with the quantity I had to eat. She kept giving me eye signals to stop embarrassing her, but I didn't care, I just needed more food. The food probably wasn't that much as the visit by my aunt was unannounced. When my aunt left in the evening, mom pretended like all was well. I went to bed as usual like nothing happened, only to be awoken by a whip. Mom prepared a full pot of rice and asked me to finish it. I was force-fed and beaten like a cow. (Nigerian parents punish their kids like they are strangers)


Second occasion was when I stole took her fowl and cooked it with my friends, then I was 17. I got the beating of my life that day. My mom was such a disciplinarian. And I think that contributed to my extreme fearlessness and intransigence. I used to be very stubborn, always expectant of punishments. Thank God I grew up and changed a bit.

Can't really recall what I did wrong... But I remember mom wanted to guve me a good beating usung a hanger. I took to my heels and she ran after me.
Our compound was very massive and spacious. After running for a while, i looked back; behold! Mum was still running after me. So, i jumped the fence to escape.

My sisters came looking for me that night and brought me back home... Mum had gone out, when she came- they all begged on my behalf and mum did as though all was well.

My mistake was going to sleep... That was the first and only time i got the beating of my life from sleep grin

hahahaha! Almost everyone in Nigeria experienced late night beating. The most painful part is that, in the beginning it seems you're dreaming until you receive original oraimo cord for neck several times grin

If while growing up, you're someone that likes rough play, you fit play from morning till night or that you usually steal meat from pot at night, na night go be your regular punishment time grin.

While growing up, i loved meat ehh cool, so any time someone steals meat in our house, the person go rush come cut for me because whether na me steal am or not, everybody go don reason me as person wey steal am. Na why them dey always cut for me, make e no be like say the accused no benefit. Even when the person cut my share, me sef no fit resist. Na so so Cane i dey chop almost every night, me sef come dey reason why i like meat.

E reach one time wey be say dem no go even ask again, once meat lost like this, them go just drag my ear go palour dey flog me.. Neighbors come even sabi me...
Any time my mum dey flog me for night and i dey shout, neighbors go dey beg my mum from the room"Abeg forgive am, e no go steal meat again". Wetin dey vex me then be say, dem no dey ask wetin sup ohh.....Based on say na me dey collect beating, the matter go be meat....



As our Ancestors would say "The best time to flog a child is at night when nobody, not even the neighbors can stop the lashes cheesy".
