donroxy: Sharrap there, stay there and form civilised when tis just a barbaric attitude !!! I absolutely agree with the last paragraph. Your children will not live in a cocoon forever so while they grow it is important to prepare them for the society they are going to face and give them the tools to succeed. If the values taught are entirely private and donot impinge on society, fine but if those values impact on their public persona and hence relationships they would blame the dad in future for a wrong perception, i.e. misleading them that such was 'cool'. 3 Likes |

Fulaman198: I think it is an utter lack of respect to allow an offspring to allow them to call their father by their first name. No child should ever do that. Parents deserve the outmost respect. Speak for yourself, calling your father or mother by first name doesnt mean they are not getting utmost respect... And yes, it is UTMOST not OUTMOST, go and worry abour your command of the english language before you pull the last strand of hair out on your head over a trivial issue! |

What is wrong with your child calling you by name.We have had cases where children got missing and fortunately were taken to the police and it was next to impossible to get their parents name ,you ask them what is your father's name ,my father's name is daddy(papa etc) mother's name mama(mum,mummy). Are you kidding me.Is it because we are so scared that if we teach our children our names they may use it to call us. I think the most important think is respect.The first day my daughter heard my mother call me by name she was just turning three she was existed and went ahead to call me by my name and i smile I thought now is the time for me to let her know our names so i started teaching her the father's and i names. Occasionally she will call me by my name because she is existed to find out that we all have got names not just mama and papa.She is loving and respectful and that is all that matters.On the other hand my brother was so infuriated that my mother was calling him by his name and his son will want to do same.I was like what do you expect your mother to call you now,he said she should call him 'pa nevile"I was shock and asked him so is that your name,when you were born they was no pa ,or daddy or what ever attached to your names.I think the problem we have is we are so consume with this authority thing that we loss focus of the essential thing.No number of papa,dad,daddy or mama will make you feel better if the child is unbelievable disrespectful.You will pray to God they even call you by your name and be respectful.Just thinking |

Its funny how people say a child calling the father by his name means the children don't have respect. Calling someone 'dad' doesn't mean he is respected. I have a friend who prostrates to greet his dad, when his dad he answers yes sir but this same dude has told me the only reason he hasn't killed his dad is because of his mother and sisters. Once again i laugh at the notion of calling some dad means he is respected. |

Oluwaseytiano: calling someone dad doesnt mean respect I agree, but it is part of showing your father respect. Respect has many things that go alongside it, such as honouring your parents. Aiding them in whatever they may need aid in, showing them that you are there to serve them nonetheless. I personally my father 'father or baba' or my mother 'mother or yumma'. I have the utmost respect for both of them, and my showing of love to them can never be done by calling them by their first names. In y culture that would be considered abrasive behaviour (as it is in many other African cultures). |

obinoral: I will get back to you when i have a child. LOL I don't have a child as well, but a lot of us when we become parents won't want this kind of thing to occur where there is a total lack of respect for ones parents. |

The mum probably calls her husband by his name. It's highly disrespectful and I wouldn't allow such in my family. |
Re: Children Calling Their Father By His Name by salt1: 8:34pm On Nov 15, 2013 |
I think it's a cultural thing. No intention of annoying Yoruba folks but they value seniority and the titles that go with it. In fact, aunties and uncles are even identified, not by their names, but more annoyingly by towns of residence. Instead of Aunty Tolu, you hear her addressed as Mommy Ota (where she lives). Daddy Port Harcourt. But they swear it's a form of respect and we let it be. In some other cultures, a son will call his dad by his name and SURNAME as a sign of endearment during a conversation. This is notable among the Anambra Igbos where a son can call his dad " I know that you, Nnamdi Okeke will never stoop so low". And the dad will smile his approval Obviously this Femi must have vehemently disliked his tradition or been punished for erring that he swore to do it differently with his kids. Don't just try that aunty stuff with a Calabar woman! She will hate you for thinking she is that old! 2 Likes |
