American Daughter: Mum, I wanna go see Jenny my course mate.

American Mum: Alright sugar, don't forget to call me if you gonna sleep over there. (Kisses daughter on her forehead).

Nigerian Daughter: Mummy, i, i, i, i,...

Nigerian Mum: You what? When did you become a stammerer?

Nigerian Daughter: I, i want to go and see my class mate, Onome.

Nigerian Mum: Who is Onome? What is her surname? Where does she live? Is she staying with her parents? What does she do? Where is her village? Haven't you heard of Ebola, kidnapping and bombing? Why can't you stay in your own house? How many times do you see Onome or whatever her name is, coming to visit you ehn? Or don't you have any shame?

Nigerian mum pikin wey wan lost go lost meaning; a child that wants to spoil will spoil. It is not by caging them.

U are right, but what our parents did is really helping

Its Protecting their wards.

Even if the child will get spoilt at the end, it will still take time.

@ops, And will u compare the moral/discipline our nigeria daughters/girls has to that of Americans? I think they are trying to do their job as a mother very well. I am 100% in support of this one O.

Our parents parents know that there are many wolves out there.

true buh most times, d wards will become very wayward when they finally becum free of their parents like wen they finally enta uni.

Nigeria mothers, been over protective before the fall of man.

I'm a testimony of how this really helps! Bad company KILLS good manners.
I can only suggest they be more subtle and that they should try and explain their actions!

Go African mom's! I've got d best one though!

this is the second or third time since yesterday where people with Igbo monikers are using style to diss Nigerian women (Igbo women actually).

Are there issues which need to be handled?

Righttttttttt!!!!

Dafuq? So, now, granting your child wayward locomotion is now bad? Abeg, cage them. It will make them better people in the future.
