Nigeria is a rogue state? Nigeria is a hell hole? Nigeria is a failed state? Nigeria is a no go country? Nigeria is disease ridden? What do you fill your children with about Nigeria? |

Paroh_frey: I tell them all of the above and pray to them to watch a moment of NTA television programs that reinforced my belief that Nigeria is truly a cesspit. |

I tell my children that it is where their dad is from and they should be proud of their mixed heritage (Nigerian and Swedish). They speak Yoruba, Swede, French and English and we teach them about both cultures. I have taught them about great Nigerians like Fela Kuti, Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Gani Fawehenmi, Ken Saro Wiwa, Aminu Kano, Tai Solarin, Alfred Rewane, Cyprian Ekwensi etc. They love Nigerian music and enjoy going to Nigeria every 3 years. I have also taught them that our rulers are corrupt, thieving scum who oppress and loot the country repeatedly. However I hope learning about the poverty and hardship I faced growing up makes them develop a work ethic of honesty and diligence as well as compassion for those who are less fortunate in all societies. |
