Very true.... You even see a small Yoruba child not more than 6 yrs old, calling someone older with 7 to 11 yrs by name, so unbelievable. The tone of her voice to her older ones are not that of a humble child.... Not more than one.... Becoming rampant.

Then some so called young Nigerian adults too easily display lack of home training.

Many now forget to use magic words learnt in Nursery school eg Sorry, Please, Thank you, Excuse me/ Pardon etc due to feeling woke even when some Nigerians abroad are firm with their children.

Our Educational system I believe is still EDUCATION WITH MORALS however, parents spoil the whole thing.

Their parents are also on Nairaland raining insults on one another. So, what do you expect.

Good day, fellas. Most Nigerian parents focus more on their children's education but ignore their children's moral behavior. E.g Greetings, respect, good manners etc. I'm really disappointed in some children these days.

You're correct, our society is losing its moral standards big time. Parents need to wake up and do needful.

We're now following the western way of doing things and abandoning our culture. nowadays I learnt most schools dont beat students anymore because their parents are against it. What a world we live in.


You have two ways of correcting a child, either through talk or flogging. So both of them are useful to the regulation of any child's behaviour.

Truvelisback:
Sadly, when these children become wayward in the future, the parents will start looking for whom to put the blame on. Only time will tell.

they I'll blame Jesus on their own ignorant

belcom10:
Very correct, I had a neighbour then. The children don't greet. This made me not respect the parent. How they raised such kids.
I can't imagine me raising my kids that way.

They don't owe you greetings. Nobody owe anybody greetings!

Stop being entitled.

Just like yorubas prostrate to greet their elders but not other tribe elders which is wrong...tribalism is another issue

In igbo land, you don't give an elder something with a left hand
But where I live
I saw a boy of about 20 using left hand to pass food to a man of 80 years.

I tried to correct him but they said it doesn't mean anything.

That year in the late 90's
Students of UNN will us message, you born you to say no

Them go beat you in front of your parents

There's nothing wrong in using either hands to give anyone anything.

How?

Truvelisback:
Nobody vex me ooo. I just noticed that kids of this century have lost it. Although, I don't blame them, I blame the parents. Awful things we couldn't do as kids in our time are what nowadays kids are doing and it's really astonishing.

Sometimes ago when working in a school there was this boy that everything in him portrayed disrespect so one day I called asked him why he did'nt greet elders and he said greeting was his fundamental human right so he was free to greet whoeverit pleased him. Then I told him never to pass infron of my office if he won't open his mouth to greet. Could you believe that the boy truly stopped usin the passage infron of my office. When I saw the parents and told them, the mum just said casualy that "That was the way he behaves". Can you imagine! That's the effect of imported culture on this generation.

God knows am going to train my child in the way of the lord..Am gonna be a strict mother to my children..No room for bringing them up like this new generation kids that are spoilt brat..

Are kids brought up "the way of the Lord" any better than the ones not brought up that way?

You left out of the most important, dressing etc

IjebuWarrior:
Na parents dey even pierce their little boys' ears, draw tattoos on thier children's bodies, weave their boys' hair to feel cool. Some dey even bleach thier kids.

Useless Bastards parents.

lol @ bleaching

Where I stay there some kids given birth by same parents they don't greet, I noticed it and stopped greeting dia parents, it's because parents don't guide them.

Nowadays you see boys of 18 renting there own apartment with there girlfriends staying with them, I just wonder if they actually have parents

MufasaLion:


How?

yoruba kids do not greet elders from other tribe, they're born and raised with tribalism. My yoruba neighbours kids don't greet my parents but we show every of our cultural act of respect towards their parents.

True... They used to say that sending your kid to Africa at a young age is the best way to ensure they're morally sound. But now, kids raised here in the West are more genuinely polite, though still bold and smart enough to hold reasonable conversations while thier counterparts in Nigeria are looking for girls to insult online.

MufasaLion:

If you adhere strictly to the way of the Lord, they will turn out well and different from other kids.

Your last two statements are wild but true...

dontrulee:


It's not respect, it's just humans falling for the halo effect.

People like to feel on top, when you prostrate, the person you're prostrating to feels like he's on top and it suits their ego. Most people see it as respect but masters of manipulation can use it as a façade

That's one angle but when you see someone you truly honour, kneeling or prostrating is a way to show that

Parenthood is failing.

Those students of UNN that beat you in front of your parents those days are now parents of the said children been talked about on this thread... They only know how to create fear in children that are not theirs and not train children, they are two different things..

Your Yoruba neighbor's kids are the representation of the whole Yoruba race? Imagine your assertion and conclusion.

Shame.

You don't need any God/god or diety to raise a morally upright family, community or society.
