The fact that you're raised in Nigeria( regardless of how you turned out to be) is not a Mandatory LAW / Licence to raise your kids the "African way"( whatever that means). This is exactly why MOST Nigerians in diaspora avoid each other (sneer, troubles, rumours and backbiting) .. Very judgemental and condescending lot I must say. There's no need talking other peoples parenting skills down. Everybody should train their OWN kids as they PLEASE. Nobody gets hurt. Period. |

Ewuro4: Visit a Nigerian church and you will not regret your decision LMAO. My mom came to visit me and wanted to go to a Nigerian church. That poor woman almost worked herself into a stroke that day. She was like does nobody have a cane here? I just told her not to embarrass me. She was giving some serious stink eye to some of the parents. I will not raise my kids in any so called Nigerian way. I will raise them the way my parents raised me with some improvement as expected 1 Like |

And if it won't be a bother, can you please elaborate on those improvements you hope to incorporate into the old school parenting ? Please please I really want to know soulglo: Shocked?? Make up your mind woman. Is "African way" the best or not. Stop dilly dallying |

milychocs: I dunno but I think we've all grown up subconsciously to accept weaves, lace-front, and wigs as part of the aesthetics of the average black woman these days cos almost every chic and her momma wear them. Hence whenever you see a black woman with natural hair, she looks exotic, refreshing, and attractive. So, since it's the norm now, you have to accept it as part of being "supremely black and proud" and judge based on mentality not appearance. However, it might change in future cos fashion always repeat itself. And in the nearest future, the 70s and 80s "black is beautiful" era with Afro might return - just as fade haircuts (hi, low, polished etc..) are now in vogue with guys. Shyte, I've got a hi-top fade looking like Big Daddy Kane from the 80s on my head. 1 Like |

Well....weaves.....the epitome of what we are not I simply haaateee I am not quite where I want to be, with celebrating my African-ness, not by a long shot...but I can safely say wearing weaves is no longer part of me For which I am supremely thankful If I had more time, I would embark on a love your hair campaign I am soo sure people would buy it Some people wear weaves cos they do not know they can not not wear them 1 Like 1 Share |
