Beating Of Children Is NOT African Culture. It Is Colonial. So Stop It. by Rostikol: 6:43am On May 19, 2023
The biggest LIE ever told about Nigerian or African culture is that physical discipline of children or anyone at all, is ''part of our culture''.

IT IS NOT.

It was a practice that was introduced by British colonialists.

The saying ''spare the rod and spoil the child'' is an ENGLISH bible proverb with NO African equivalent.

If you know one, I DARE YOU to tell us.

In pre-colonial Nigeria and Africa, children were seen as SACRED.

As the ANCESTORS RETURNED.

How could a sane person be beating up the ancestors?

It was unheard of.

Children were pampered.

They were 'disciplined' through communication.

TALK. Story telling. Preaching. Proverbs. Begging. (You'll be shocked at how well begging a child to behave well actually WORKS if you tried it.)

BUT THEY WERE NOT BEATEN.

It was the European colonialists who introduced corporal punishment (again, no African equivalent of the term) in their missionary schools - flogging and caning was what they did to 'discipline' African children.

THE SAME REASON YOUR PARENTS USED THE SAME CANE AND FLOGGING AGAINST YOU.

It's no coincidence.

It was the ENGLISH that taught them that.

Because the ENGLISH were racist sadists hellbent on creating a society built on hierarchy, fear and intimidation, for their own selfish ends.

THEY HAVE GONE NOW, SO UNLEARN WHAT THEY TAUGHT YOU, AND STOP BEATING YOUR CHILDREN AND HOUSE HELPS.

It is UNAFRICAN.


Meanwhile the British who taught you to beat your kids do not beat their own kids in Britain.

A kid born there can stand up and say what he feels anywhere anytime without fear.

That is how we were before they invaded.

It was THEM who taught us to replace reason and proverbs with fear, beating, and intimidation.

Go to your village now and ask the OLDEST person there if what you've read here is true or not.

YOU don't know, because you're just an ignorant kid who knows nothing about his history.

An atheist spotted. It's your choice if you decide to be an atheist. But don't shove your damn opinion on other people throat.

The act of disciplining a child responsibly saved Africa from a lot of shit like same sex marriage which you atheists believe in. Keep your damn opinion to yourself.

But of course you are free to keep ABUSING and MOLESTING your kids because the white man taught you that.

For me that form of discipline worked well and had mede me the man every society desires. Not me alone. But for all of us who went through it. Even the secondary school own was more than that of the home.

You were ABUSED.

Parents in Sweden don't beat their kids.

Swedes today are as about as incorruptible and responsible as it is possible to be.

How come they didn't need to be beaten up by their parents to be that way?

Yet here where you beat up kids, you're plagued by robberies, crimes, cultism and corruption?

It is that beating you do that brutalizes all of you from a very early age.

By the time you've grown up you've lost all compassion, empathy, reason and so on, and are now ruled by fear, hierarchy and the threat of harm/loss of respect/poverty, which leads to corruption, police brutality, official callousness and negligence etc etc

It all starts with the IDEA that something positive emerges from brutalizing and dehumanizing another human being.

Who wrote the bible? Do you know?

Was he from your continent, never mind your country or region?

Why should what some idiot wrote thousand of miles away, and 4,000 years ago have any meaning in your life if not for colonial invasion where the invaders handed you a book to be reading while they looted your resources?

And while I'm educating you on TRUE African culture, you're still quoting their stupid book for me.

Are you mad?

When you started your post, I thought maybe this one will be different.
But here you are displaying your inbred slavishness by bringing up Sweden.
You probably also believe that the white man teach you how to speak.

Corporal punishment is universal and natural among humans, that is why laws are needed
to combat it.
It has nothing to do with religion.

Now to the issue of Swedes, the Swedes of today are the product of yesterday.
At no time did the Swede sat down and say let us stop beating our kids so they can
be incorruptible.
Nope. Swedes beat kids when other Europeans did and stopped when their neighbours did.
It was even outlawed until 1979.
Are you saying the Swedes became "incorruptible" by then?
BTW, your perfect Sweden is the rape capital of Europe, yes, you
read that right. Maybe it due to lack of beating? grin grin

The vices and crimes in a society are a product of income and poverty.
Beating or lack of it is irrelevant.

You are confused about cause and effect.
You need to review whatever is giving you such a ludicrous idea.

Re: Beating Of Children Is NOT African Culture. It Is Colonial. So Stop It. by Rostikol: 8:04am On May 19, 2023
See what this oyinbo man in South Africa confessed.

''The second point to raise is that there's quite good evidence to show that the use of corporal punishment in Africa was exacerbated by the slave trade and colonial influence on slave-dependent countries. In South Africa, it was mostly introduced by the slave trade but exacerbated by the previous apartheid regime, so the fact that it is enshrined in some cultures does not mean it was originally so.''

They introduced criminality to you, that is why you need 'prisons' today.

Before they invaded, you did NOT need prisons.

They destroyed your religion which had working punishment and deterrence for crimes.

And then gave you a religion where you can loot 10 billion dollars and go to church the next day to thank God for good fortune.

That is why you have crime and prisons today. No accountability to the Divinity.

In ancient Benin City, 15th century Dutch and Portuguese visitors wrote that it was among the most beautiful cities on Earth, and that the people did not build front doors to their houses because there was no crime and stealing was unheard of.

Do you think such a people would not have developed a culture that surpassed beating up of their kids?

It's because you don't know your history that you're here typing ignorance.

Just so you know the oldest bible wasnt written or transcribed by king james .... It is the Ethiopian bible and also understand that Christianity is not any European religion.... Christianity was in Africa before anywhere else.... So the principle of discipline was not adopted through colonialism.... We are Africans and we follow ancestry closely even before colonialism .... Discipline physical mental psychological has always been a deeply rooted part of the African/ sub saharan tradition.

“ In pre-colonial Nigeria and Africa, children were seen as SACRED”.

If children were sacred in Nigeria and Africa, why twins, triplets, etc killed because they were seen as evil?
