[s]Your child ll soon good gun and live bullets as gift. Gift my ass[/s]!

jesmond3945:
so the reasonable gift to share is biscuit? Then why are your kids attending the school? Why not put them in ajegunle community school where they share biscuit as gift. It is only in Nigeria we judge people's intention based on their material possession. So if otedollar decides to drive keke we would say it is cruise or he is mocking poor people but we forget that otedollar is a human being first of all and might decide to live a life of destitutes for the rest of his sojourn on earth. When we allow our kids to grow up with this mindset they would always feel inferior even when they have made it.

With mentalities like these ones above, we're in serious problem in this country! Why attributing his action to poverty or being poor? Are you guys telling me that all other parents who are also poor will return the gifts? Or are you saying that other parents who are rich can't return the gifts? I get it, most of you are poor mentally and that's why you concluded like that.
I'm not surprised, principle is scarce these days, it is no longer in our dictionary.

Bros, you will not understanding. You are just reasoning to the level in which ur brain and age can carry. When you get to certain level in life, your reasoning will change by then, you will see it in a better light.

This topic is not for boys. It is for matured minds and principled mind.
I think you will do better in the boyfriend/girlfriend topics.

Good decision u took. I had to stop my children from collecting birthday gifts in school, no matter what the gift is. The school knew about my position and so they always excused my chldren from such gifts. I observed my children and noticed they were happy to obey that instruction, maybe because I took time to explain to them my reasons. I am not persuaded to mention those reasons here because they are my personal convictions and may not be appealing to our present generation of 'parents'. But remember, you can only be sure of yourself. People can go to any extent. So don't raise your children to think the world is full of biscuits and sweets. Parents should put their eyes on the ground to know the dynamics of the children's learning environment. It's unfortunate most parents, especially, the fathers abandon school runs for the mothers. A lot go on in the school environment that ultimately determine what a school represents. Sometimes, a group of high-minded parents can indirectly take over the school management from school proprietors and start influencing every decision taken, from school uniforms to send-off parties. Parents must be seen to be part of their children's decisiion making at their formative stage.

Please schools should stop celebrating birthdays in school, please, biko. I use God beg you.

I sent my child to school to learn and not to celebrate birthdays, I came back from work one day and saw this play station 4 in a carton, I asked them who own. they said my daughter classmates celebrated her birthday and shared these gift to them.

I quickly ask them to reparkage the gift and take it back to the school, before I return from work the next day.

MY REASON IS THIS: all fingers are not equal, when it is my daughter's birthday they would be expecting a gift of equal amount.

The parent may be rich and I am not, they give my child what I can't afford for her which is a recipe for greed. she should be contented with what I can afford,

These her young mind should be moulded early to adapt to reality.

These private schools are encouraging these evil act, it may affect the child tommorow.

please push to front page to expose the dangers of school birthday.

Some day when you are old enough with a family of your own, you will understand a lot of things. I don’t have time for kids who still collects pocket money from his mother. Look for someone else to catapult your frustrations on young man.

Wharli3y:


The child having a mentality you always return his gifts won't want to bring gifts home again...

Hence lies would start and would escalate the more..

Why are Nigerians like this??

atiku4President:

From your comment it's obvious you lack identity, so no need wasting time to educate you. Go and continue watching your BBN. Your mental poverty must have been inherited. Can never wast my time with you.

Coldie:
You get conscience sha

Some people won't return it with boldness

GMBuhari:
SMH

when the kid gets to primary and secondary and even maybe university , we'll see how well you have suceeded as a parent

hahahahahah

ImaIma1:


Is it wrong to keep it? The child didn't steal it. If it was a ruler, would he have returned it?

Coldie:

To me no need to return it

jesmond3945:
smh

ImaIma1:


Soon now Op will tell his child not to mix up with the rich kids in school but only with the average ones.

Psoul:



Chaiiiii.....you are overwhelmed and shocked.

Coldie:

Swears. This might affect the child's self esteem in future.

People are naturally generous. The parents who gave out the gift could have done that with an open heart without anything in mind. But she's reading meaning into it

NaijaCr7:

It's a gift and am sure it would have been what the child (celebrant) wished for.. I am sure no inscription on the box reads you must Payback with similar gesture.

*Why don't u stop breathing because you think u can't pay God what it worth*

You go your friend party he serve you rice and chicken shey that one mean say u no go invite am come yours cos na rice Nd fish u fit afford.

And for those Mofos saying PS4 is counter productive, you need to do more research. Gaming helps develop mental reasoning and decision making, the only bad side is addiction, and we all know addiction to any thing is likely dangerous.

Modified.
Let's assume the father of the celebrant gets to know about such act from the child's father, in the future when such child need his connection to get something am sure he might be skeptical offering a hand.... *when you can afford a school where your child can mix with the influential what you teach them is power of humility, sharing and contentment. You don't create enemies for them because of perceived competition[i][/i]*

That will be your portion in Jesus name. Amen, amen amen.

atiku4President:

You are entitled to your opinion. However, I doubt if you have any; hence you have quickly resorted to insults. I doubt if you understand the way the minds of children work. Perhaps, when you have one, you will learn the hard way.

Bj5all:
This man has a serious mental problem. If someone gift you a car or a modern house, you will reject it because you can afford to reciprocate the kind gesture?

Hisssss, in your mind you have done something noble and worthy of praise?

I pity your children.
