Food for thought. This article is worth being in the front page. Every family, school and political office holders need to read and digest this article for a better Nigeria. |
For centuries, African societies have often been labelled as backward, underdeveloped, “Third World,” or somehow lagging behind the evolution of humanity. While these labels are deeply rooted in historical, economic, political, and colonial narratives, we must also be courageous enough to examine the systems within our own societies that continue to shape our progress—or hold us back. One of the most fundamental places to begin is how we raise our children. For generations, the African child has been raised within a culture where discipline is too often confused with punishment. Flogging, hitting, humiliation, intimidation, and fear have been normalised as legitimate tools for correcting children. In many homes, schools, and social institutions, obedience has been valued more than understanding, and silence has been mistaken for respect. But a child who is constantly afraid of punishment does not necessarily become disciplined. Sometimes, that child simply becomes afraid to think, speak, question, or make mistakes. We must begin to move away from a culture of fear and towards a culture of understanding, accountability, communication, and positive discipline. Flogging and physical punishment should have no place in our homes, schools, or institutions. Children should be corrected without being broken, guided without being humiliated, and disciplined without being made to feel worthless. We need to raise children who are confident enough to ask questions, courageous enough to challenge ideas, intelligent enough to think critically, emotionally secure enough to express themselves, and creative enough to imagine possibilities beyond what already exists. A society that punishes curiosity will eventually produce adults who are afraid to innovate. A society that discourages questioning will struggle to challenge outdated systems. And a society that teaches children to obey without understanding may produce citizens who follow the status quo even when the status quo is failing them. Perhaps one of the greatest transformations Africa needs is not merely economic or political—it is psychological and educational. We must rethink what we call discipline. We must rethink what we call respect. We must rethink what we consider good parenting and effective teaching. The African child does not need less discipline; the African child needs better discipline. Discipline that builds character rather than fear. Discipline that teaches responsibility rather than submission. Discipline that develops emotional intelligence rather than emotional suppression. If we truly want a more innovative, confident, intelligent, expressive, and progressive generation, then we must be willing to let go of methods that belong to the past and embrace approaches that prepare children for the future. The future of Africa is sitting in our classrooms, homes, and playgrounds today. How we raise those children will determine the kind of society they build tomorrow. David Agama (ABAT)

Samirana360:You don't know what you are saying, my guy. Primate Ayodele has been in the forefront of political prophesies since the early 2000's. I have seen many of his prophesies come to pass. I remembered he successfully prophesied the emergence of Boko Haram in Nigeria. |
