The Nigerian Problem:the Parental Perspective by ebamma3: 11:12am On Jan 16, 2013 |
If i should hesitate to say these things,it will not be because they are untrue but because i cannot speak of them without betraying my imperfection: Nigerians are the last people on earth who should have children:because we are very very bad people,having children is akin to nurturing more hyenas at home and breeding a nest of sorrows.Whether rich or poor,aged or young,the poverty of our souls and our hatred for humaneness leaves us unworthy of such enterprise as procreation. A cursory look at our families excites the creepiest form of marvel.The nigerian family unit today parades the worst form of savagery.Mothers are mightily pleased to see a child hurt an annoying neighbours dog or cat,and such wise fathers we have now,who consider it a notable mark of martial spirit when they see their son domineer his weaker peer.And there are those whose parents raise righteously breeding them in their images to conform to, and perpetuate the worst forms of religious bigotry and inhumanity,according to the holy tenets. Thus from adolescene through adulthood they greet every dishonesty we perpetrate with cheer,as long as it translates to stupendous wealth,higher status and comfort of knowing that their children are smart and inured in the ways of the world It starts from the very little things,like nurturing us to be brutes at childhood and grooming us to be fraudulent through adolescence,Hence the multitude of "peaceful,hardworking and God-fearing" families engaged in desperate pursuits to enroll their wards and university hopefuls in "special coaching schools" while they purchase for them,seats at "special centres" as they write the SSCE AND JAMB exams. As you read this parents are purchasing seats and liberties to cheat for their wards at Jamb and Waec special centres,our bankers are pilfering our accounts 50 kobo,1 naira to 100naira by the second,motorists are hastening off their normal lanes to face oncoming vehicles on the wrong lanes,public administrators are stealing pension funds meant for elderly retirees,journalists are receiving money to doctor stories according to the whims of desperate politicians,and policemen are harrasing motorists for roger, all which are products of our failed parenthood |

It's never a good idea to generalize and tar everyone with the same brush. Sure, in every society you have good and bad It's good to adopt a lateral view when discussing issues such as these... (My two cents...) |
