If i should hesitate to say
these things,it will not be
because they are untrue
but because i cannot
speak of them without
betraying my
imperfection: Nigerians
are the last people on
earth who should have
children:because we are
very very bad
people,having children is
akin to nurturing more
hyenas at home and
breeding a nest of
sorrows.Whether rich or
poor,aged or young,the
poverty of our souls and
our hatred for
humaneness leaves us
unworthy of such
enterprise as procreation.
A cursory look at our
families excites the
creepiest form of
marvel.The nigerian
family unit today parades
the worst form of
savagery.Mothers are
mightily pleased to see a
child hurt an annoying
neighbours dog or cat,and
such wise fathers we have
now,who consider it a
notable mark of martial
spirit when they see their
son domineer his weaker
peer.And there are those
whose parents raise
righteously breeding
them in their images to
conform to, and
perpetuate the worst
forms of religious bigotry
and inhumanity,according
to the holy tenets.
Thus from adolescene
through adulthood they
greet every dishonesty we
perpetrate with cheer,as
long as it translates to
stupendous wealth,higher
status and comfort of
knowing that their
children are smart and
inured in the ways of the
world
It starts from the very
little things,like nurturing
us to be brutes at
childhood and grooming
us to be fraudulent
through
adolescence,Hence the
multitude of
"peaceful,hardworking
and God-fearing" families
engaged in desperate
pursuits to enroll their
wards and university
hopefuls in "special
coaching schools" while
they purchase for
them,seats at "special
centres" as they write the
SSCE AND JAMB exams.
As you read this parents
are purchasing seats and
liberties to cheat for their
wards at Jamb and Waec
special centres,our
bankers are pilfering our
accounts 50 kobo,1 naira
to 100naira by the
second,motorists are
hastening off their normal
lanes to face oncoming
vehicles on the wrong
lanes,public
administrators are
stealing pension funds
meant for elderly
retirees,journalists are
receiving money to doctor
stories according to the
whims of desperate
politicians,and policemen
are harrasing motorists
for roger, all which are
products of our failed
parenthood

It's never a good idea to generalize and tar everyone with the same brush.

Sure, in every society you have good and bad eggs people, but there ARE STILL good folks out there. Negative press tends to hit the headlines more and stick in people's memory longer, but that does not imply good people working hard for the betterment of others don't exist.

It's good to adopt a lateral view when discussing issues such as these...

(My two cents...)
