Gwekzy: Abeg we shld nt dump our beautiful african culture...let our kids not imitate those disrespectful white kids..

simdam500:

did d op made mention of white WTF!

SugaryBelle: Some men actualy choose to be called their first name and even insist,i have an uncle named Samuel who insist everyone calls him that,his children even call him Sammy,yet they are very respectful so its realy not disrespectful when its the man who choose it.

zolajpower: mr aproko is my hobby, atleast thing like 'Aunty, brother,dad,mum, sis e.t.c are english termnology how do u say them in ur language? Like yoruba wil say 'ido bale ko ni wa' so that is the way he wanted it. Remov d speck in your before u see ur neigbour's own

PocketEconomist: Nothing dey there. i call my dad by his nickname [not his real name sha] BTW, me and my dad bea the same name , that's why i find it awkward calling him by his name, but for my younger ones, they call him by his name. As long as you are not rude, i don't see anything wrong with it.

Black Human: All those critising the kids are just hypocritic, "eye service" specialits. Calling ur old man by his name doesn't make him any less of a dad. If u respect someone you respect him from your heart and it shows in your actions not by titles...haven't we all heard phrases like;"dady is stupid", "mom you are a fool",e.t.c. Recently, my mom tried to bring a new idea, sayimg my junior brodas should adress me as "broda blackhuman". I rejected it....i believe tru respect is earned.

donroxy: Sharrap there, stay there and form civilised when tis just a barbaric attitude !!!

Nobody is blaming the Dad nor the Kids but In Africa and Most especially in Yorubaland, it is quite frown @ !!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

All Those Little-Little things when Not checked begets adverse disrespect !!!

If Those kids should call their friend's father by his firstname then, Hot slap is what they got from their friend !!!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Ur Children should be trained to fit into the Moral Situations in the society not to be @ odds with them in the name of advancement/civilisation !!!

Tobiegal: Scared to contribute, but still would.

I dont see anything wrong, for as long as the Parents are okay with it.

My 2years old son calls me by name whenever he feels like, and must say, he has done that a lot in public places...and i most certainly dont frown at it... calls his Dad by his nick-name, which is what i also call him.

I even think its cute sometimes, it means a lot to me that my child can identify me by name...my very own name... there is alot to mummy and daddy out there... that their names are so lost to their kids.

Just thinking, why the hurry to be called mummy n daddy when thats all you wld soon be known as.

Its just a phase @op... the kids would fall into the pattern when the tyme comes..

Balley: . At least, ur frnd said mumc and not yemisi. Dis children practically cals deir dad Femi!!!

koonbey: I believe there's nothing to it,It's all in their Relationship...their mutual Respect for each other.For instance; I was out one Evening,playing Video Games with Friends,one Friend's Mum called him and he picked and said"MumC,how far?"..."okay,i don dey come",then promptly drop what he's doing and head for Home,while others would say"Mummy...yes Ma,I'm on my Way" and sit down comfortably for another Hour or more,all the while telling their Mums when they call that "I'm on the Way".

Fulaman198:

That is also very disrespectful. Calling your father things like "man", "dude", "brother", etc. Just thinking about it infuriates me. Calling ones mother things like "sister", "sis", "aunty" I thought all these things were abominations in all Nigerian cultures. If I were a parent I dare one of my children to ever use terminology around myself or my future wife and see what happens.

Parents should teach children respect at an early age.
