My Mum Wants Me To Stop Psychology In School Due To Fear Of Madness by Newsprex(m): 1:54pm On Apr 17, 2018
Am an undergraduate in the University of Ibadan. I study Psychology as my course but my mum won't just allow me read the course in peace. She keeps telling and frustrating me that Psychology is the study of MADNESS.

The more people keeps discouraging her about the bad side of the course, the more she keeps discouraging and frustrating me to rewrite JAMB and choose another course. Meanwhile, she can't read nor write. She has a very strange mentality that can't be changed even if you advice her till 100 years to come.

Please, what should I do? Should I quit or just continue my stuff?

Show her psychologists that are making MILLIONS and she may change her mind and even enroll as a part-time student grin

You need to find someone who is well learned whom your mum holds in high esteem to explain that studying Psychology isn't the study of Madness

No one is too far in this age of calls making, also guess your mom is a member of a religious body find a learned person she respects there to talk to her.

What is it that you want to do after you graduate? Studying psychology is one thing but from a career perspective what you do with that degree is another thing. That is what you should worry about. As for your mother practice some Psychology on her.....primarily the power of suggestion and also find out the root of her misconceptions.

The issue here is what do you want? What's your future plan with the course?

If you love what you do, go on with it and tell her you have changed it so she can rest.

U need to technically ignore her since u mentioned that she isn't really lettered..psychology is a gear course. It's relevance is mostly found in the paramilitary.meanwhile, is Dr Babalola still in that department?

The ninth law of power says WIN THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS NEVER THROUGH YOUR ARGUMENT

no matter how you argue or advise her she still won't change her mind bout the course

The only way to change her mind is for you to be successful in the course

I guess you are happy now that everyone is doling out advice.

Exactly what you having been thought in your pyschology classes is what you are exhibiting here and the ones consoling you are your guniea pigs.

Stop painting your mother as if she is all out for your downfall because the African mentality in you can't wait to paint her a witch.


After Una hammer Una go be the first to shout there is nothing like mother's love yet you go forget say na you don wash her for this forum as someone who is not lettered. Useless children

If you like fail to graduate then come talk say na the negative vibes you get from your mama no let you succeed.

Final decision rests on your shoulder but op do you think Fayose, Dino melaye, lie Mohammed etc are normal?
Most Nigerians are mad oh this explains why former militant/killer Ateke tom is now a king in his village, why Ojukwu is a legend, why boko harm will bury army tank in sand and Nigeria army couldn't find it, snake swallow, monkey ran away etc it's just that they have not been diagnosed yet thats why they are scared of mental assesment or psychiatric hospital so you won't be the first or the 100millionth go ahead

grin Oh that phycho smiles...remind one of Jack sparrow smiles. Even the lecturers in that departments are not helping issues. From expired coats to ridiculous impossible ideas.They can use their own unborn kids for experiments. They will give questions...They wont bother to invigilate you...and you are free to even use your notes and the Internet...yet you cannot find answers.

Lol! She thinks it Psychiatry you're studying.

Don't quit, just open Joro Olumofin's handle for her on Instagram, so she can see what he has made of himself with his Psychology degree.

How exposed is she?

You see all these our elderly ones always have this believe they have seen it all and know almost everything. Except she knows someone that studied the same course and was mentally derailed I will suggest you don’t listen to her and do your thing.

When you start making money from the so called madness she will come around.
