Yes we are losing it gradually. This is one of the consequence of the world becoming a global village. Interaction between different cultures and race has become very easy with jet-age means of transportation and other technology. Parents are becoming too busy chasing money than bringing up their children in the right way. This is only the beginning!

Well its only in the cause of robbing Peter to pay Paul, Or owing Paul, and let Peter be

They struggle for the money to put a smile on their kids' faces, to give them that life they didn't have a chance to dream of sef, to present them with the best.

The up and doing ones will cover both aspects, but then there are the "not so good in it" ones, that neglect the kids in the cause of chasingmoney, some of such kids grow to be a dissappointment in the society, who should be blamed??

@ topic

Well yea kind of . . Kids no longer have respect for their parents and older relations

honestly though, what are African Values? i too wonder myself.It is such a wide wide spectrum of ''dos and donts'' ''values'' whatever you want to call them, maybe we should ask our older generation? anyone know what happened to our gramps, uncles, aunts that big extended family ? . we need it back.
@poster great topic

The world is losing it..
this is not a case of "African values" which I consider I be ambiguous

Why don't we narrow it down to the basic so we understand what particular "African values" we alluding to.
