I'm not surprised at all. Female children that were born in year 2000 are the ones dominating PTA affairs now. You'll see them wearing bum-short, strapless tops and leg chains to drop/pick their children in school.

Some must borrow money to sew cloth

Colourful

OWAMBE - e dey there

SWAG WEST

Owa ni ile bi Okuta... e plenty for ground like stones

Which dialect is this

Bread and circus, that's All Naigeerians need, oh! I forgot to add rice.

Same parents on Facebook: Thunder faya whoever wan steal my spotlight. Holy Ghost fire.


A day to highlight excellency of kids in extra curricular activities turn to a fest of shameless adults that are low on SI and EI.

You wan try Yoruba people and owambe party since government don ban graduation for some classes they have invented a new way to continue their party.

On a straight Line parents

Some people are attention seekers; they look for every opportunity to show off. Don’t be surprised if these parents even have a WhatsApp group aimed at peppering other parents.


It’s an inter-house sports event, not a cultural day. If they truly want to take part, they should have been dressed in sportswear and competed among themselves after the children have had their day........I don't applaud nonsense.

Good to see how parents are now interested in their children's things these days.

Our time, you fit chop slap if you tell your parents about this kain carnival even if na teacher send you. You be mumu ni? You no fit tell teacher say money no dey.

It made us stein sha. I'm the next governor of my state

Dele omo woli dey there too

There was nothing inter house about it. I was super annoyed.

Though it was colourful

Owemba

I thought they said that there is hunger in the land. So hunger and Owambe go hand in hand, Abi?

For ordinary inter-house sport .

But when it'll come to PTA,these parents will be nowhere to be found.

We too love to dey celebrate frivolities for this country,while neglecting the things that really matters.

And you expect Tinubus and his cabals to believe we're hungry after seeing things like these

Make them no show them happiness again? Must you be bitter about everything? Does their outing have any negative effects on the election wey never hold? You can tell me you don't eat because of the present situation of the country na!!!

I won't blame them, they are stylishly telling the govt to set a day aside for their own traditional day. Ogun State has Lisabi Day while Ijebu òde has ojúde-ọba, calabar also has their own. I don't think ibadan has any.

That's my sun's school. We did what we do to make our childrens happy. We do not owe any body any apologize.

Na the women dey do this one, women go full that place pass men

Are you really hungry?
You're hungry but only your phone is worth N400k.

The Yoruba’s, highly stylish and elegant tribe! God bless all Omoluwabis around the world 💓

Parents are living vicariously through their children and it is becoming a menace. It is a lack of identity, a lack of self worth and an abuse on the innocent child who is not allowed to enjoy their childhood or youth with proper adult supervision. Don't take the attention away from the child, let the freaking child play in their own world and environment. Na agbaya de steal the show of pikin, letting these kids face unnecessary humiliation the following week when they have to compare their parents. Damn it! Small time nau, these parents will enter the changing rooms of the kids and we will start complaining about Sexual Abuse. Eediots

The phone is not helping matters but when you see a lot of adult behaviour in Nigeria, you can tell that many of them have unhealed trauma. It's not just a Nigerian thing, I know, but I can tell you that parents today have spent more time condemning their own parents' style of parenting more than they have done in the actual work of parenting their kids. The phone has really revealed the children in us. There is a time and place for everything.

Try to be there for your children, parental support really matters in life.

Bill Gates and Paul Allen wouldnt have become billionaires if the mothers at Lakeside school didnt agree to get a computer for the school.

Try to be there is not a licence to try to be them! Let the children breathe and play please. Don't steal their show.

Parents taking the spotlight at a children's event.
Not good at all.

The focus should be on the performance of the kids while creating a fun filled atmosphere for them. Parents used to be simply dressed spectators cheering up the kids in the past.

Some modern parenting styles are baffling and creating problems for proper child development.

This is so nauseating. For ordinary inter-house sports?

Something that I struggle to attend at my children's school? It is what adults have taken over?

TallNigerian:
Shay you no got commit suicide at this rate like this? Take am easy on your mental health oo

suicide far like north to south o, i abuse dem or why u dey cry

Nice one from the parents!

This is how I love to ginger in my kids school.

We can all have fun afterall. 💚💚

Schools are different.

Some schools don't create much room for parents to bond while others do.

That you think it's nauseating is very disturbing.

Captains of industry still make out time to attend school events to cheer their kids and others.

Are you crying about this? Let the dead bury their dead, afterall dem no collect any Kobo from your hand. Wailing Society of Nigeria!

Don't mind them.

It's in Nigeria here or let's say it's an African thing that we don't pay attention to showing up for our kids in their school events, we think it's okay to hide under the guise of hustling and bustling to provide.
Oyinbos take school events seriously, soldiers will travel down to be in Karate Lessons, School Dramas, Fund Raiser events, Prom Nights etc. I work with children. Children love it when they see them show up. It motivates them to do more. In my school, we have Fruit Day, Colour Day, Career Day, Cultural Day, Carol Day, Fun Day many days, days that parents come to teach in the classrooms, we have events for the grandparents too and parents show up and show out.

I won't criticise these people o! Tori ọmọ la ṣe nṣiṣẹ. I can go all out for my kid, all out.
