adexsimply: ..Parents shouldn't be the one to determine how their children blend into the society. That sounds like planning their futures for them..

Probably sounds so, but it is virtually impossible for a parent not to make plans for his/her child, or have visions either.

Well said @ OP..
The other day I was lambasting that newsbit attacking the President with regards to this issue, it seemed to some people that I had no premiss for such assumption.

It hurts to be compared, yes. But what our parents expect of us is to turn the pain from it into constructive energy, and we cannot blame them for wanting the best from us. If they do so, inspite of the negative feelings it may brew in us at first, they do so for our own good.
Even as you get older, you begin to compare yourself to others to motivate yourself, so, what really is their wrong?
Perhaps they overdo it, perhaps we overeact to it, all in all, lets not lose sight of the message they give.
After all, they do not expose all our wrongdoings to our faces, do they? They notice some, but keep mum on it.
Imagine a life without challenges and targets. The comparisons are essential, I tell you.

It's not really about blaming anyone.
The Executives-in-charge seem not to be operating with any priority list.

There should be no specific age for this. I feel it should depend on some factors like:
1. How the parents want the child to blend into the society.
2. How the teenager reacts to orders and control.
3. The environment they live in.
4. The abilities of the child in question...and a host of others.
So, it is not just easy to ring a bell, DING, and let the child take decisions himself or herself.
Rather, it is a step by step decision, influenced by certain dispositions.

It's not always about the grades though.. Not every one is cut out to be a bookworm or grades freak..
He who gets the C's in class may eventually go on to get the real A's in life.
If the grades aren't working out despite the input, try considering improving other aspects like hobbies and talents.

It is very important.
Although not all families are comfortable with discussing such issues amongst themselves.
We are Africans

Now, this are the voices we prefer hearing.. The voices of those in action.. Not those sit at home or in newspaper offices condemning the efforts of the head that wears the crown.
We hear you, big brother.
B00by-trapped becomes bosom-trapped.. Awkward

Now that my grandfather is in hospital for CVA treatments?
The devil is a liar.. God please, let Dr. J. I. Umunna not know about this.. Amen.

Frog jump from the school gate to my classroom and back, three good times..
After that, my laps were vibrating like kilode..

Can you tell this to an Abia indigene in Borno State? Keep pursuing your business there.. Lol.. Hehehe.. E don dagbaru..
Abeg, keep them there jare.. Make we know how bomb take dey enter churches for here

MabraO: It seems d Bengal tigers re more friendly than other yea?

Lol.. I am unworthy to answer this question.. Hehehe.. Even Pi doesn't feel same way in reality.

1. A fowl never has two holes on its anus.
2. Before you ask the dog for a chair, you must have seen it sitting on one.
3. You all have witnessed how the blind man dodged the knife blow (difficult situations)
4. If The lady bent down in the midst of the market without shame, why should I be shy of bending down to take a peep?
5. Let me not waste all the time adjusting my pen1s while those who came to bang round up and leave me behind.
6. The boa that tells the noise-making bird to leave his spot does so because if the hunter notices and kills the bird and comes to pick it, he will discover the boa also, and kill it too.
7. If we dwell so much on the sweetness of s3x, we may puncture the child in the womb.
8. It is not by crying everyday, that God should seize all powers from the Devil. If God seizes it, will you accept the power?

MabraO: U don't expect them to use a live tiger to act d movie?

Uhh.. Actually, I was.. An adult Bengal tiger specifically..
I was thinking in the line of owning one till this heartbreak

Lol.. If she doesn't do many of what you posted, I would never take her seriously.. Hehehe

Hehehe.. Crazy

Not impressed by this brainwashing at all.. Kai.. See Life of Pi sha.. So it was just a balloon thing..

immortalvoices: Typical E-nigeria I don't knw why the hackers didn't hack and wipe out ur nairaland accts which u guys use to spew thrash about the president as if u guys can do better....
Meanwhile stop the counter blames and let's put our country in good light...

Never mind them.. They seem more comfortable with their pens.

We all know how these threads turn out.. Guys will vindicate themselves, Girls will vindicate themselves.. The bisexuals will be stuck in between.. And the message will be ignored

Your criticism have been taken note of. I'm looking forward to the relevance of your banters to the solution of the problem..
If none, join them in keeping your futile voices where they belong..and I'm very sure you missed the Sahara Reporters interest in this.

That awkward moment when I actually read a baby article till the end.. :-/

It changes one's habitual personality in some ways, yeah.
Besides, of what use are dreams when reality forces you to act on relevance with a bang!
Well, I have the rest of the year to find out.

Surely.
A typical example is if you consider the urban settings. It is well known for the 'mind your business' mode of existence. Unfortunately, this habit has found its way into the rural areas too, imported by the people from the city.

They had to announce the Ugandan's frivolistic inclinations? Such impudence on national media..
Well, it is a normal activity in Owerri though.

Well, you're a blogger.. I expect nothing less..
There is no factual relationship between the topic and the content.
How can he debut an album with a name he would go on to despise?
Speak of the chichidodo bird.

If the police over there don't pick you up for spraying the dollars, why then were those guys disturbing us on NTA with that 'don't_spray_cash_at_wedding' advert?

Has APC infiltrated New York Post?
I'm quite disappointed with this newsbit.
If they weren't going to input anything constructive than this blame, they had better sheathed their pens.
In the face of these threats, the last thing we will welcome is external pen pressure.
Nigerians generate enough mass 'pressure' as it seems.
**MODIFIED**
All these words and the only thing they see is APC. I wonder then who the real sympathiser is. You're here, valuing their pen and assessment while your countrymen are taking the hit.
My proposition is simple. If they won't be of realistic aid to us, let them keep their thoughts to themselves. We are bored of these already.

I try hard not to dwell on the sight of your topic..but factually, I visited none.. I never really fancied naijagists so all I did was think about visiting, but never visiting.
I kept checking Nairaland to see if it's back. We also held discussions about the problem on other social networks.
I wasn't sad. I was just uncomfortable, being in the dark on the latest issues and all that. But I did feel happy when it was back.. Goodbye to all those ol' January topics

I move for the creation of 'Miscellaneous Section'
