@Poster, Axeman


Now i see why Naija youths will never rise for their right, we are abandoning our culture in all phases and embracing strange cultures all in the name of civilization. i blame all this on the economy of Nigeria. had it been that our leaders do the right thing people will see reason to be proud to be a Nigerian and an African. Remember the bible say "bring up a child in the way of the Lord and when he grows he will not depart from it".

@harakiri i concor with you. many Naija youth are derailing from their background, God created you to be a Nigerian and an African for you to fulfill purpose here on Earth, he gave you that identity, culture and race the best you can do is abide by it and be proud of it. see the good in the African and Nigerian culture so that it may be well with you. Being well with you means having Peace with you fellow man. even your enemies will celebrate you because you are fulfiling your purpose.

am surprised at the replies.

I know parents who defend their children to outsiders even when they know their children were wrong.

Maybe, your cousin has not been open and truthful to the mother, but that still is not enough for the mom to talk bad abt her with another person. something is def wrong somewhere.

But calm down poster, u can talk to her mom and make her understand her daughter well, if u are sure the girl is as good as u think she is.

harakiri:

Wow. . .i didn't know NL ladies were this methodical in their reasoning.For most of the women that post here, it's the norm to jump on the band wagon without even thinking things through for a second.Like i said before, parents who listen to outsiders do so because the child in question hasnt' proven his/herself to be mature and of sound judgement! ! !

Simple as that.

otukpo:

The poster definitley does not know the cousin well. No matter will set out to tarnish the image of her daughter. Most mothers wld do anything to cover their daugthers and paint them as good even tho bad.

The girl is just 16, and she is def moving in the wrong direction. Why talk of marriage now and by the way, who is sending her to guiness?

Who said mothers have never spoken bad of their daughters to total strangers?

@harakiri d fool is here again givin useless advice as usual. MR I TOO KNOW .d world should have bin a beta place if people like u dont exist.i pray i dont have a child dat will constitute a nuisance anywere he is.( like u )how wount u no dat an 8 yr old child is selling on d street wen u r a low life urself.am hapy people like me dont even no dat 8 yr olds sell on d street cos i was never brought up 2 see n smell poverty.n my 18yr old sister is askin weda u r 10 yr old.cos u sound like an impoverishedn malnourished ghetto child.dat we av loggerheads with our parents doesnt take away d fact dat dey luv us, dirty little tin .so sorry i wish u cud be more refined

THE REASON WHY PARENT'S LISTEN TO OUTSIDERS MORE THAN YOURSELF IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT PROVEN YOURSELF AS BEING MATURE AND YOU HAVE ALSO DONE THINGS TO MAKE THEM DOUBT YOUR JUDGEMENT! ! !

Most nigerian parents believe they know whats best for their children. because they think being old and seen life qualifies them to know whats best. without considering the childrens opinion of thoughts. nonsense.

years ago the day i stood up to my mother, that day my life changed for the better, i learnt to reason for myself, makes mistakes and learn from it. and also set the way for my younger ones to be able to reason and think for themselves and stand up for themselves so as not to be intimidated by anyone all in the name of parents.

culture ko, culture ni, same culture that makes women slaves to their husband, makes men misbehave to their wives, makes children live their life in fear of their parents, makes children go to university and study what they are not interested in just becos they want to listen to their parent, make men get married to wrong choice of women becuase my parents dont like her, make women get married to men who turn out to be monsters or cronic womaniser, and they say my parents asked me to marry him becos he is igbo, yourba he is from my tribe. culture that makes a woman kneel down to give husband water. culture that makes the wife call her husband younger ones uncle or aunty at 18/19 years of age.

NONSENSE. !!!!!!!!!

@ Michelin
It makes no sense to me why people would go out of their way to tarnish a young girl's image, but things do happen
