foladara777: So if they pay school fees all so you can be literate and still pay you to read they you don't deserve the education. Millions of people would gladly go after the opportunity you have without pay. You as a child, do you not understand that learning to read and write makes you more interactable among your friends. What are you saying here. Abeg she is just a business woman but not a sensible one at that matter. She has even caused more damage to our society than she thinks 1 Like |

foladara777: I was thinking of how i would reply them all but u did that already. I have come to realize that majority of Nigerian youths dont read anyother books apart from the one they need to pass their semester exams. Now how would this kind of people encourage their kids/toddlers to even read anything at all? Some are saying that how can u pay school fees then pay a child again to read... Im sure they didnt read the post, if not they would have read where she mentioned Biographies, history books.. etc... 3 Likes |

A lot of people on this thread do not understand about the psychological and mental benefits of what she means by "pay your child to read"....... Nigerians will always be gullible and lack wisdom to move forward, we lack creativity and can't think outside the box, that's why we will continue to remain where we are......as if they will not thank the gods that their parents are paying them to read. rubbish! hypocrisy of the highest order! 4 Likes |

I guess all she was trying to say is to encourage your children to read, reward them for reading if possible.It is called motivation in management. 4 Likes |

For people spewing nonsense up there! There is nothing wrong in paying your child to "READ". Its a good form of motivation rather than using cane to batter them to the extent that they attribute negativity to learning. For example, my grandfather will never buy biscuits/sweets etc for you or even give you money without asking "what service you can render for him?" You can choose to wash is singlets or sweep or do anything that he considers service(s) and you negotiate for the amount of such service and he pays you after you finish. Lessons learnt: I learnt to deliver value in order to get paid right from a tender age. Unlike some teenagers or adults of today that want you to dash them money for no reason. I learnt to be independent, learnt to negotiate and get values for my skills. It made me to appreciate people that go out of their way to render value adding service to other people. Summary, translate that to paying your child to read. The benefits that the child will reaped is going to be worthwhile now and in the future! 5 Likes |
