Why Do Nigerians Live In Self Denial? by derrydinny: 7:06am On Apr 10, 2018
I read a post written by childofdoom about how nigerian parents are and I can't agree more. A lot of nigerian youths had poor parental love while growing up, nigerian parents believe paying school fees, clothing and feeding you are their ony responsibilities, they make lots of children weak outside because they don't interact with them(they talk while you ony listen), how mnahy nigerians can hug their parents and kiss them(on the cheek) in public? parents think they are strict but they are destroying their children psychologically. Most of us had bad upbringing that is while small pressure from friends and you will venture into crime. Parents think they are lords over their children, they can't be corrected even when wrong. I remember when i was in primary school and i had a bad handwriting, my parents would abuse and slap me but they never for once tried to hold my hands and teach me, this made me stop giving my assignments for help and it helped me though. They do lot of good things though but most of us know deep down that their shortcomings are much

A typical Nigerian is unintellectual,sentimental and petty;and they derive joy in blaming the victim....That is the reason for the self denial.

Nigerian parents are a disgrace to parenthood, that is why we have a bad nation, we raise our kids without love and so how can the kid show love to a nation.

Thank God my mom is not Nigerian I can't relate but this post is facts tho many Nigerians mirror the characters of their parents.

The truth is many of the parents confuse fear with respect. If u have seen their errors, try and correct it, that will be the difference.
Although I can't relate with most of ur points cause my parents esp. mum begs to differ.

Most Nigerians if not all are not emotionally expressive and are insensitive. An emotional /sensitive being in Nigeria is seen and termed a weakling, a very good example believe that women are not fit to be in places of power because they are believed to be a little less logical and more emotional.

Now a typical Nigerian man won't want to raise a weakling, he wants to be a father of a 'strong, logical and brutal child so he will train his ward the way he wants him to be. The one who install emotions into a child is the mother, but then in some cases this is limited. I. e If the mother is an unemotional one herself or the father is completely domineering in the home.

Note, Nigerians have soft side too, It's deep down inside them. The reason we hardly see it is because they don't show it.

And that's the basic answer to your question

it seems you are not fully grown, because if you are, you'd know what and how Nigeria is

you think Nigeria is a place for weaklings? nigerian parents understands this

imagine raising your child in love and rainbow telemundo blah blah blah, is that what Nigeria is all about? if you want that go to the western world

who would treat you with love when you are out of the house? grin...dude or lady you are not ready

imagine the street of lagos for a moment, the
buses, you must be strong and smart not lovely dovely
