My parents rarely flogged us,. We were regularly punished though.. Like not going out and playing with your friends.. No watching of television, no buying of Christmas cloths grin etc basically stuffs like that..

When they realised their teaching and Morales already sunk into me then she stopped, that is my mother because my Dad never laid hands on us, but he scoled or advised you, you will just wish you never did wrong
P.S for you to know if your child has understand and digested the act of moral diligence. Give that child freedom and see how they will manage it

I want you to help me sue them and the easiest way for you to get to where they are right now is to cross the busy expressway without paying attention.
Why would I pay attention? When I move with escorts

In light of a recent trending video of a father flogging his daughter, a lot of people were of the opinion that she wasn't supposed to be flogged since she is 18 while majority (on twitter and nairaland) were in support of the father disciplining his daughter for going against his order.

On this note, I'll like to ask 'What age were you when your parents stopped flogging you?'
And also, 'What age do you think is the right age for a parent to stop flogging the child?'

As for me, I think i was 12 then. My mom would use different tools like garri turner, slippers, cane, etc. Looking back now, I know it was all to mould me into the gentleman I am today.
As for the second question, I think the flogging should stop before the child gets to senior secondary level so he/she won't develop an everlasting hatred for you (the parent) cos that teenage age can make or mar your relationship with your child. The child can be disciplined via other means, but not necessarily flogging.

The floor is open guys. What's your take on it?

I think mine was 17.





It's a fact that if u keep beating an adult, they would hate u for the rest of their lives

I was in primary school ,I chop better cane that day and that was the last time.


There is a stage to correct a child with flogging ,I personally think after 14 years flogging a child is just assualt and torture.If you do your job well from when a child is born till they are 14, you will not need to raise your hand to correct them.



If you try to straighten dried fish ,it will only break.You can only decide which direction to fold it to when it's still straight and has not touched fire.

The average Nigerian has been traumatized from childhood with beating , no wonder we have no idea what empathy or affection means.

What works for Dick may not work for Tom. Some weren't even flogged at all. However, with the species of humans we have today, some fit still suppose dey collect beating in mid-twenties. I have this neighbour girl who self decided to be stupid. It's clear she prostitutes (her way of life sold her out). She leaves in the morning and returns lately at night with hawk-like fixed eye-lashes, long nails and provocative dressing. Did I forget? She has even conceived one child already with her parents about the age of four. I admire her mum; there's no time her mum doesn't reprimand her for their waywardness. Therefore, these kinds of girls (not being mysogynistic) needs regular torture.

Has all the beatings her mother gave her for years stopped her from being a prostitute?

I only remember my Dad beating me twice in my life. Both where before I entered secondary school. My mum beatings were more frequent than my dad's but it was before I entered secondary school. Immediately I got into secondary school, Command boarding school,my parents look away from many things,they know beatings were waiting for me in Command already grin grin

Spare the rod and spoil the child. Africans parents need to augment in their training of child to reduce all the social vices we are having in our communities especially in the area of a boy child. The boy child should be a priority too like the girl child. As for me, I stopped receiving beating at age 15

Age 10 maybe. Dad only whipped me once. But my mum, oh Lord, she had a whip hidden in the house. And she used it like 2-3 times a year. cry
Thats probably because mum was always around to witness your misbehavior. She knows how many times a day you do shitty things that needs correcting.

I can't remember anytime my popsy flogged me o, maybe the last time he flogged was when I was a baby. But mumsy can flog for Africa grin......E get one-time wey I fvck up, I dey SS1 then. Even till today I never forget that flogging, after she flog me finish I come go one corner dey doubt weda na she really born me. As a matter of fact na me dem beat pass among all my siblings cos I take style stubborn dat year.



Those flogging made me who I am today, neighbours now envy our family because of the love/bond amongst us. Mumsy was a good disciplinarian, I think say she dey punish us then but na now I understand the role wey she play to shape our lives. Some of the boys wey I dey follow then bullet don kill cos dia parents fail to do dia homework..... African mums are the best.

My I think I was around 12 years old, that was in '97 precisely. I don't remember what I did but my mum who would always beat me up to a pulp wanted to hit me I raised my hands to defend myself. Upon her hand touching me her hand broke. That was the last time my mum ever beat me. grin My Dad who was against corporal punishment(this because my Dad never ever laid a finger on me till he died) was delighted, he was like " You saw a giant like this and you feel you could continue beating him abi?" I felt bad though, because I saw my mum in pains. But that was the last time she ever raised her hands to flog me.

Una wey ur parents dey flog you enter 30yrs, una try o.. . Not everyone get that kind cold temperament to sustain such. Many people head for don spark.. You're an adult for crying out loud.. well things like that only happens when you're struggling and still living with them.
