ogugua88: [size=13pt]I hate the act of flogging. My dad flogged us when we were younger and I always found it stupid and heartless. It was very saddening and I believed my father didn't love my siblings and I. Sometimes I think back now that I'm adult, and I see no reason for any of it. I can't attribute any good thing that I am to flogging.

I've already vowed not to flog or spank my children . I don't want them to reflect in adulthood and have moments of disdain or disappointment for me the way I have for my dad sometimes.[/size]

Wait until you have your own kids before making any vow.Except if only you were abused by your parent,I see no reason why someone should hate their parents for flogging them to do what is right for themselves and the society at large !

Elgaxton:

Flogging your child is not assault.

Reference:

Why not lead by example. what is happening to you is that your body language is all wrong. You say something but mean another and these signals are confusing him. he should be able to tell when you play, when you work and when you teach. Most parents do not present this distinction properly and early enough. Excellent parents can change the direction of discourse with their children by something as simply as a raised eyebrow or a simple decibel increase. If you are extreme, always unserious or always too serious, over anxious or far too relaxed you are on a long thing. You must culture multiple personalities in your home to expose them to the spectrum of human behaviour. And start early.

sainty2k3:

It is assault,

Uyi Iredia:

And despite the wide spread use of koboko has vices stopped ? No, it hasn't. Your statement is senseless to me when I consider how flogging (or the prospect of it) didn't deter me from doing what I had in mind.

Spanking is a Nigerian culture and I'm not sure you can take that away from them irrespective of their level of education.I don't believe in granting children absolute right to be wayward and useless to the society.

Maybe the Adebolajos won't have become terrorists if their parents had spanked that spirit of terror from their blood with a koboko while growing up.Well,Koboko is actually used to reset children to their default settings.

destino24:

some people are armed robbers and terrorists cos of the amount of koboko strokes they received as a method of correction during their childhood days...i dont support it, at all!!

Lord_Reed:

There is a difference between correction and wickedness. I do not know of anyone who suffered the punishments I suffered as a kid who became an armed robber. Sometimes people say things like this to gain sympathy when in actual fact they fully understood what they were getting into. I do not believe it is a enough reason to have flogging proscribed.

kekilika: no time. i don dey soak the cane inside kerosene dey wait for my unborn children. my love and my cane will go hand-in-hand.
