With the entitled, disrespectful and lazy shitheads I see around, I'm happy my bloodline ends with me The society is a reflection of the home and we know that has failed too. |

Ask4bigneyo: Unfortunately most boys and girls of this generation don't even know 10% of these things you mentioned up there themselves so how do they imbibe it in their children? The ladies are even worse! Back then, the mothers were the forerunners of the home! They make sure they teach you homegrown basic manners and discipline, home and body hygiene not forgetting kitchen economics and hygiene. You can't give what you don't have! 3 Likes |

Promismike: is that the reason why some parents do house chores for their kids, lie for them and cheat for them during exams? 2 Likes |

At age of 16, I personally registered my jamb, Jamb posted me to one interior community in the days of hand written jamb, I went there myself, Did the university registration and everything myself. Sometimes when I hear my colleagues back then talk about how their parents did this or that during school days, I will just be listening with nothing to contribute. CharleyBright: 2 Likes |

Ask4bigneyo:Nice one!! Honestly, this is the more reason I prefer olden days parenting to this modern one . Parenting has lost it's value and raising moral children is declining, deteriorating and fading like desert gunshot. |

Africans..... always claiming guru in raising well rounded, mentally, socially and spiritually healthy kids, yet Africa remains a shit hole society where life is short and brutal, full of yahoo boys, thieving parents( especially the ones in public offices) if your father or mother is a uniformed personal or a civil servant or a politician, your parents are thieves. It's high time Africans adopt the way white men raise their kids, maybe the continent might better and blacks will stop trekking across seas and deserts to go slave in a better society ( which is as a result of raising better kids into better adults. 3 Likes 1 Share |

CharleyBright: You taken them to exam center makes dem safe. Kidnappers can't kidnap u and your kids. If a secondary school graduate can't go to jamb center on their own, the freedom you took away from them when they gain admission u will know the consequences of Ur action. |

It's really not about not wanting your children to struggle at all. But does struggles in this country guarantee success? |

bigiyaro: Pls can't you explain how they ( better country )raise their children that makes that in turns makes them great. The greatness u see in developed country were d works of well trained kids of those days with proper mentoring into the channel of development ideology not these days. Majority of goods one raised in developed country are still well trained and mentored many of them u see in a best schools with Innovation mentality, the larger percent are over dependant children who complain their parent did not give to them everything. Let burst your brain. Majority of their workforce are foreigners and their own only rely on benefit, I pray you travel there u will see it Ur self. 2 Likes |

I think we r all guilty thou at diff level and degrees. We r spoiling these kids in the name of,I don't want them to suffer the way I did. Also we don't want them to see us as wicked old man just like the way many of us see our pale then. Thou it our responsibility to protect and care for them but we should teach them to stand up for themselves especially the first kids. An entitled kid may not be able up for him/herself in a difficult time, especially when we r not there. I think this is one of the reasons the oyinbo kid alway cry depression over a matter we used to joke. Many of them r even lazy to the extent of finding it difficult to work for 8hrs. 1 Like |

Why must they suffer @ number 8. Let's not equate suffering with difficulty. That something is difficult doesn't mean it's suffering. That they are born in an environment like Nigeria is already a difficult situation, a lot of them are suffering in thia country and are braving it as much as they can @10. Anyone who has ever experienced Boko haram or kidnapping, you should be scared. We live in unsafe environment. Don't blame anyone Aside fasting, why will you be okay for your kids to starve or go hungry unnecessarily? Are they under punishment? Some points are valid while some are poverty speaking. The parents writing this too should allow the kids ask them questions. No one is without flaws. We're all pushing and surviving how we can. Kids and parents alike 1 Like |

lagabush:why the hell will well brought up kids risk everything to go work for ill brought up kids? As far as my little brain is concerned, their society is better cos they raised better kids. I will believe that Africans raise better kids when white men starts trekking through hell and high water just to come work for us. |

ukaface: I am not the only one here on this. Lots of parents do same here. Na so we see am. Parents are going extra miles to do these things for their children. If I will remember, I will take photos of parents that will carry their children come write Jamb on Saturday. I thank God that one thing I have never done and will never do is to arrange or do exam malpractice for my children. They are academically brilliant and don't partake in cheating. But to protect them from the evil society we are now, ... That we must do. It is well. 2 Likes |
