I SHALL NOT HUMOUR YOU WITH A BEFITTING ANSWER, MADCHEN!

ELRAZUR,

I shall not say 2 much, 4 fear of being mis-understood again, by you, if you actually read my epistle very well, you will see that i said i had an even stricter up-bringing than you,, up to uni-level, which i said i will not go into so that i dont take the spotlight off you,  i have not said noone shouldnt express their experiences, (at least i shared a bit of mine!), neither have i said pple should kept mute, all i am saying is what have you gained by sharing these experiences now.closure? dealing with the hurt?,  oh whats the point,  im outta here, its been fun while it lasted, but its beginning to wear out now, Good Luck!

How sad

@Madchen, GOD BLESS YOU 2!, sometimes the truth is bitter

Repressing feelings or trying to forget them and move on as *orile* on this thread has suggested doesn't really work. I hope you get your closure by dealing with the hurt that has been repressed for years. Goodluck

oh Pleeezzzzeeeee! for goodness sake!! y'all get a grip, like someone said on here once you guys leave 9ja, you begin to go "gaga",

you people leave nigeria then turn around bleating about its bad "culture". What's culture got to do with it? Did the Americans also welcome civil rights laws, anti-domestic abuse laws with welcome arms? Are you trying to tell me the religious right in America did not cry about how these laws would be a direct affront to God's word?

You people are painfully ignorant, it would be best not to simply post just because you feel the need to say something.

Seriously, you're saying abuse in naija is a cultural thing? Do fathers in Ghana not also treat their sons the same? What of honor killings in middle eastern countries where women are not even allowed to leave the house except with a male who may even be as young as their own sons? So abuse is peculiar to us because of our "culture"?

Pls stop insulting our intelligence, stick to posting in the food section or not at all. Thank you

when you were there, it wasnt a problem o! its now that you are "overseas" that you are now talking of "getting your closure" and "dealing with the hurt" etc,  the soonest you realise that what they did to you back then is what made you what you are today the better, pleeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzee!! (no offence or pun intended!), so what have you all gained by remembering them now?.probably hating your parents the more, some of you said you dont really relate with them anymore or to some its just occasional, or one word sylabbles, there is a yoruba saying, ti o ko ba gbagbe oro ana, a o ni ri' eni ba sere.no matter what, they are still your parents and will not create any hurt or harm for you, i know i will be attacked by my outburst now but , am i bothered!!,  . you need to see how 2day's children are being brought up (esp in the west- USA-JAND, ETC that we are all copying now) and you will thank your lucky stars that you were not brought up that way,  Lets face reality Men! ki lode, ki laa gbe,  ki le yu!, God bless y'all, Selah,

elrazur, my point is are you doing yourself any favours by remembering the unpleasant past you have had, i think you you should be focusing on is if you have children, the same doesnt happen to them, i had an equally bad (if not worse upbringing too! which ill rather not share or ill take the spotlight off u kai kai,,,,) but i am making sure that it never happens to my kids,  which doesnt mean i am spoiling them rotten, hum they know me,

I suppose it is a phase in my life that I have gone past but reflecting it on it in this thread.

seriously Man Mi, HAVE YOU, REALLY?, hummmmmmmmmmmmmm i wonder!

In as much as I will disciple my children the way my mother discipled us. I would want my children to be able to talk to me freely about anything. I do not want to be having boyfriend coversations with a 12 yr old that is a no no. But I would want them to have enough to courage to know that no matter how bad to talk to me a problem shared is a problem halfed

GBAMM! MY SISTHA, i agree totally with you on that, 7 gbosa's 2 u girl!

@ bawomolo.how u dey my broda, just got back from una area (hyde blvd- South Connell drive) which neighbourhood are u in,

It was in the same compound as the following schools - Igbobi girls (The entrance was next to this one), Angus high school (I think it is now part of Morocco, but back then it was separate) and Igbobi boys.

The main entrance is opposite the barracks in Jibowu.

OH SORRY, SILLY ME, I 4GOT.(JAKANDE SCHOOL 2!). yes you are right, sorry we used to think they had come to spoil our school back then, no offence, shey u know now!

Elrzur, can i just ask you, where was Morocco comprehensive (IF I REMEMEBR CORRECTLY FROM YOUR POST) in Jibowu, the sec school u went to?, i am not sure i knew the school back then, considering i went to Igbobi College which was literarily down the road?, was it that school near or oppsite yaba tech?.4get its name now sef,

it is good people are talking about it in a mature way.

@ Elrzur, hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! if you say so, lol

What are you experiences?

@Elrazur
Man Mi, i bet you didnt expect an avalanche of experiences when you started this did you?, its like opening up dead or healed wounds, hummmmmmmmm!

Still no reply? I have a feeling, I am not alone in this. .

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone

could resist singing this MJ song,

@ everyone who had contributed to this thread, THANK YOU!.It is my prayer that GOD WILL CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU ALL ABUNDANTLY IJN .you will see your children's children and their success in life will be in your  lifetime as well IJN.
@ ElRazur and man mi, Dayo!
i really do feel y'all, if i start to tell you my story (and Dayo, i am the first born in my family 2.and i have a twin bro- very identical) you will see that your's is just an episode of a soap opera while mine is the whole soap opera itself, imagine having a very strict father who always came 1st in his class (kings college lagos) when he was in sec sch, , my mum went to MGHS, and if she came 2nd peren in her class like this, her dad would not sign her card and she will not be seen outside for the whole summer break, my twin bro was the "iwelumo" while i was the "raare" of the family and the social-happening one, so i was always compared with my twin all the time that in tyme i couldnt stand him,(in a way b'cos of that we are still not very close till 2day sha!) i dont think there was a week an extended family meeting was not held b'cos of me sometimes it will start on friday nite and end after church on sunday, ayimoye, "get out of my house" and i would reply back that this was my father's house and i wasnt going anywhere.that my dad should go to "his father's house instead", lol, when i was going to uni, i chose all the very far ones so i would be outta their reach for a while but lo and behold, my dad, worked it and i ended up in unilag, and still the saga continued, i[i] think i shared with you earlier how he came to disgrace me there one sunday afternoon after church after the whole of lagos saw me win a dancing cmpetition on NTA (TELEVISED LIVE), my dad thot he was wise then , but i was wiser and always one step ahead of him. at all times, and i tamed him in my own little way[/i].  but i thank god for what i am 2day.and what i am laying down for my kids too, i have told them my story (when i lecture my eldest (14)  and start with, in my day, she goes, here we go again, lol) and they laugh with "grandpa" about it now when he comes over, , i gave a live testimony of how i was raised at his 70th birthday party a couple of years ago and everyone present nearly fell outta their seats, and he acknowleged it too, i guess what i am trying to say is that regardless of  the ill treatment then it made me what i am 2day.but i am sane enough not to repeat the same on my kids, even though u 2 are sort of like joking about your experiences now, i can tell that they are still "lingering in your life" and you have not "let go yet", LET GO, AND LET GOD!, is all i can say to that, I HAVE, , The irony of it all now is that my dad (bless him) will consult me first b4 he takes any major decisions now (and not my iwelumo  twin bro), if i am not around and no matter how important it is, it will wait until i am around to sanction it, he now sees EVERYTHING from my point of view and what i say is final!, it wasnt me, IT WAS GOD!, the bible says "honour thy father and mother so that it shall be well with you, (quoting off head there, )in as much as i have enjoyed this thread, and the contributions so far, i think its going too deep and emotional now, and we should know when to stop and think, anywayz enuff said!, selah!

, Singing, WHAT SHALL WE CALL HIM 2DAY??, 2DAY OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!, (FILL IN THE BLANKS)

gawd una go finish me 2day

@IDOWU- ABURO.I SEE U OH, ABEGI NO LAFF TIRE, KILL UNA SELF OH,

he deserves these insults - coming out in public to display his poverty mentality, someone gets a bit of money and is telling us his cheapest pant is $10, . his mates are buying assets that have value and he is talking of gucci at his age, nonsense and ingredients

@ADA24, se u don recover from last one, (wanna be startin' someting, again)

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I HAVE NEFA LAFF-ED LIKE THIS B4 !! abegi keep it coming,
sina peters don sing am say, omo'le ni won a gbe won sori bedi.won jabo, lehin abonle.ABUKU LO KAN, kENKEE le'wu ti kan abuku tie lani bayi naa, i hope his children are not reading this oh, maybe they should advice him on his dress sence,  see his nose sef, naa pesin him dey call himself abi, 

Nigerians dont go to CAMDEN MARKET.so thats where he gets his 10 dollar "putu's" from,  ANOFIA!

Aii, you people are wick-ed ooo

, WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN, THE ROMANCEINSULTS ARE NOT OVER, WE'VE GOT SOOOO MUCH LOVE MORE TO GIVE, (OLD SCKOOL SONG, JUST LIKE HIM, LOL)

Omg month ti fee rerin ku jare everyone is lookin at me funny on the train home at last post I identify with u baaaajjeeely my dad came to disgrace me at unilag wen I won a televised dancing comp at beachcomber nite klub big tyme and a family mtg was summoned on my behalf because of that program I went to heaven and came back

Summarily, I grew up in a Garrison

@ DK no wonder, abajoooooooooh!, i can understand u now, eyaaaaaaaaa! hence all your "ipata outbursts" on some threads on NL, ashee u went thro all this when u were going up , and i thot my dad was strict, but in my case , we soon tamed him!, WE WERE ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF HIM,

, another thing back then was them going to IJEBU for one occasion or the other, they usually go on a Friday evening and come back on Sunday morning, i rememebr this particular party we were supposed to go to right in front of our house but b'cos they were travelling we didnt bother telling him about it, as if he knew, What did he do, he left my mum back in Ijebu and came home just as we were dressing up to go to the party, can u imagine  all dressed up to parteeeeeeeee, the whole house smelling of his aftershave.and to crown it all went and sat outside on the balcony all night, looking at the house party in front of us, probably saying, let me see how these kids will pass me and go to that party, needless to say we didnt go anywhere that night, were forced to enjoy the music and fun of the party which we could hear loud and clear, from our bedroom, it wasnt funny Man!, and we had invited so many of our college friends to the party as well, (we laugh about it now!)
