DrFunmisticGlow: You are thinking from a gynocentric Egalitarianistic-Equalism frame of mind working with these secularism dogma as your dominant ideology, sure western societies that don't have Culture have shifted from poliltcal conservativism to radical liberalism We can see the results 1) Moral decadence via hook up culture 2) Decline in marriages and child birth 3)High rate of Divorce at 50% rate and women initiating about 75% of the divorce 4) 40% of children are born out of wedlock and In black American communities it's 60% These all lead to the destruction of family values and units and children from single motherhood households tend to be criminals, drug addicts, strippers, illiterate, commit suicide,etc At least our elders have kept family values intact and there is no incentive to divorce because our laws are still Patriachal 13 Likes 2 Shares |

You're quite observant. I'm not saying that the manner with which kids were raised in those days was particularly perfect, but this tilting to the Western way is dangerous. The results are there for all to see. Our family system is fractured and, I don't even think there's a way back from here. The change is irreversible. It's only a matter of time before a 10 year old would address his father's mate by his first name. The difference in social orientation between Nigerian kids born in 2000 upwards and downwards is so different that, you just don't understand it anymore. 80s and 90s kids know to greet seniors, stand up, if you're sitting down, before shaking an elderly person. They know to leave the room when elders are engaged in a discussion. 2000s kids don't know anything about these things because the system that's supposed to introduce these etiquettes to them is destroyed. Parents now just want to buy every gadget available for their kids so they can be distracted enough to give them some peace and quiet. 12 Likes 1 Share |

By kids, do you mean teenagers? Before playstation and cheap phones, teenagers were always known to stay in their rooms. This is the time their lives get busier (school), then you add puberty to that and it doesn't get any easier until they are a bit older. During mine, mum would ask my brothers to sneak on me and find out what I am doing. Then she moved to making me eat and stay in the living room. It wasn't a pleasant experience for anyone. The best is not to alienate them.A couple of years more, they are back to socialising but not like before. With the amount of content these days, why should I watch the same thing with everyone? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mustiboy, You were making sense till you got to the threat. What do you mean that your child cannot have their privacy "under your roof"? Do you realise that people are different and some people like their PRIVACY? Even if you want to tell them to join, can't you do it with love and try and make them see reasons why they should? It's your type that think because you are giving someone money you can do and undo and control them. People like you, when your kids have their own money eh, dem go show you! E go shock you! 7 Likes |

@OP!! Simply blame d Social media because in most homes diz days, Mothers re on Facebook n WhatsApp watching videos while Fathers may be in Vanguard or Punchng.com following online news during dier spare time!! No time for their children!! Later, dey will now blame Schools!! Also, I Feel it's a Generational phenomenon!! The world is moving away from d Circle of 'Responsibity' into a circle of 'Terrible irresponsibility n Anything goes'.. Dats y you see d rate of divorce, homosexuality, cheating in marriages, hypocrisy,etc is going High.. Our Family values is no taken seriously!! It is wat it is.. 1 Like |

Expect more changes in the next two years. But after that love will come back to families. People are too stressed up, no one is reasoning well any more, parents only want to make sure the kids eat at least n b getting to other things brother strength don finish o. Buhari brought much suffering joke aside..people are loosing hope everyday. Imagine a state dropping thousands of workers when they were elected to minimize unemployment n reason being that there is no money to pay. And if a state is such frustrated what do u say about families? Brother I'm not just happy, parents are going through alot this period. Pray for them 9 Likes |

Very true. My kids are permanently on their phones. Netflix (family plan) is to blame and unlimited wifi. The boy is on Playstation online, you will only hear his voice from his room when talking with his online pals on "fortnight". You hardly see them unless pizza time. Thank God for their grandpa's house nearby. He does devotions (Bible stuff) with them on Saturday mornings. 3 Likes |
