RisenPhoenix1: Thanks for this input. I kind feel Africans only respect people with they have to. They respect elders, bosses, parents, superiors, etc. They don't respect people they feel superior to either cause of age or social status. And that's cause respect to them is a function of fear. Again, they act in conformity to community expectations but that's more like societal cages to me. But that's just a personal opinion. Thanks again 4 Likes 1 Share |

theFilmtric:Then you should ensure that your kids speak it fluently as well regardless of where you live, that was the point of that comment. It doesn't matter if it's Iceland you're raising them, or if Nigeria has 543 different languages. |

jaxxy: Physical exercise is good for the health. Stress is not. Experience is good. Suffering is not. People suffer cause they don't have any alternative and not because they need it. The only thing we need is what will equip us for the future where we live and how can using candles to read or fighting for danfo equip someone who lives in a country where there's no danfo? I never said there aren't ghettos here. That was never the bonne of contention. But thinking about it, even those in the grottos still use the available public transport system, etc. My point is that the "necessary suffering" mustn't be in Africa. Nevertheless, it's just an opinion. Thanks for your input. 1 Like |

ABCthingx:People tend to forget that a lot of the laws in these countries were handpicked and fine-tuned from biblical laws. Humans on our own, left to our own predilections, and without a higher authority to fear/succumb to, will actually behave like animals without restraint. That's a fact. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

WoundedLamb: What does an adult African man have to fear from his parents or elders? It's not about fear, but it's ingrained. For example, I could never consider abandoning my parents in a home for the elderly, and not because I'm afraid of them, or my community, but because I know inwardly that it's wrong. Western culture does not engender any attachment to parents or resect for elders, and in fact, provides children with an opportunity to be indisciplined. Acting in community expectation can always be defined as being caged. But if it really was, then we should consider drug dealers, robbers, kidnappers and murderers as the more pragmatic individuals who have become independent of the 'societal cage'. Disrespect for parents and other elders may not be criminal, but it's morally wrong...which is why society condemns it, just as it condemns other anti social behaviour. 2 Likes |

It depends. Some grew up in Naija and are doing boko haram, kidnapping, cult, run girls and so on. Some grew up oversea,and doing the samething. The question should be What type of parent will you be? 1 Like |
