As the popular saying goes
”
Charity Begins at Home
“.
This does not mean a person named
Charity but an Individual.
Every individual began from infancy(birth)
and assimilates everything done within
his/her environment.

At this stage the relationship with their
parent or care giver is intimate. They trust
their every action to be the right. Parent/
Guardian play a major role in helping the
child,they build trust,affection and warm
relationship.

The child begins to grow with the
mentality/knowledge of life known to him/
her. The one that wasn’t well handled at
the infancy stage tend to go the wrong
way.

The child begins schooling and meets
children from different tribes,home and
with different knowledge and Thinking
Abilities.

A child brought up with warm relationship
will always share every new experience or
acts with his/her parent when he gets
home and is therefore enlightened on it.
Such child develops independence and
self-direction both the one criticize always
will keep such experience to himself and
remain in doubt without knowing if it is
right or wrong.

Some parents leaves home as early as
5am and comes in late when the child is
asleep,they don’t even ask about the
child’s week during the weekend but
instead they Say “You know we worked
from Monday to Friday,so Mummy and
daddy need to rest”
Such child is given attention by those who
want him or her on the wrong path and
sees it as the best path because he’s
been given attention.

The child later begins secondary
education,this is the worst and best stage
of a child’s life.

This is where different forms of
misbehaviour begins e.g Cultism,
Prostitution, examination malpractices as
a result of little or no time to read,night
crawling, smoking, alcohol consumption
etc.
Most parents assume their child is grown
and therefore leaves them paying little or
no attention to them.

The child visits friends,they go to different
places. This behaviour grows and the
child later becomes absolutely
irresponsible,the child will shout back at
you when been scolded, will run away
from home when u beat him and so on.
Most of this children finishes secondary
school and graduates into street
hoodlums, professional prostitutes and
migrate from cigarette to Indian
hemp,Marijuana etc which results into
drug abuse and addiction.

All these extends from Young, Teenager
into middle age period. They later
becomes godfathers of younger
hoodlums,they bring in new youths and
train them to be a disaster to the society.

Case Study:
BOKO HARAM: Boko Haram’s story
begins with a preacher named
Mohammed Marwa, born in 1927. At
about age eighteen(18), he moved to
Kano, in what is today northern Nigeria,
and began a career as a preacher. Though
he was killed but the fact that he had
trained some youths,kept their going.

So,parents,kindly listen and digest the
songs we sing to you
“Parents listen to your children
We are the leaders of tomorrow
Try to pay our School fee
And give Us Sound Education”.

While working on this article,I saw some
lower level primary school students say
“Aye ” in chorus which some
people made me know it is the Aye
Confraternity Slang.
