Recently, I watched a video where a UK based Nigerian woman said in the UK, some families still spank their children but that so many of such families leave the spanking to the wives.


Because, according to them, it is not proper for a daughter to see her father flogging someone as it could have a psychological effect on the daughter at the time and in the future.


I think it is because female children don't believe that male adults can be violent. Female children tend to fear female adults and are often more relaxed around male adults.


Therefore seeing a male adult, especially the father, engaging in a violent act could have some lasting negative effects on her.


Female children don't have a problem with a woman engaging in a violent act because naturally, they expect a woman to be strict.


When I was a teacher in a mixed gender school, I didn't use to beat any student because I didn't want to frighten the female students.


Although when I taught in a boys-only school, I didn't flog a single student because my reason was that I don't beat children. But when it was a mixed gender school, my reason was that I didn't want to frighten the female children.


It was recently when I watched the video that I know that the mentality is also shared even by UK people.


What is your take on this?

Well when I was teaching I hardly use the cane except in the case of theft or insubordination

It depends on whether the slapper is a Bianca and the slappee an Ebelechukwu.

Slapper and slappee.

Very funny words.

I remember one funny statement I heard today.

Someone said: If I die and you no die, make I die.

As in: If I die and you don't also die with me, let me die.

Very funny statement.

Thanks.
