My mum raised all four of her sons alone, ever since our dad passed away in 1998. You can misbehave in the daytime, but be ready for her koboko @4a.m; she won't wake you but her cane will. There is no dish we can't prepare, hehehe it was hard for us getting girlfriends then. Now we understand and love her, she's the best!

God bless your mum.

Had 3 different canes when I was a kid. The offence committed determines which one will be used. Thank God for that because it made me stronger.

Hahahahaahehehehehehohohohohoho.
Nja parents exhibit their care with strict measures.
I remembered, my dad's favourite proverb "spear the rod and spoil the child" chai, "my body hear am ooo"
No kind of koboko my body didn't tasted,ranging from 1 mouth,2 mouth and 3 mouth.
I was so stubborn that my dad out of frustration used a hot pressing iron on me.Up till now,d marks are still visible.

I remembered, a day when my dad and I was working on our generator,one of the electrical part of the gen was exposed.
Me: daddy,no touch that side.
My dad:shut up,wetin you know.
As my dad touched it, he vibrated for some seconds.
Chai,na so I just dey laff am for inside my mind.
Nja parents rocks jor.

its funny how most Africans can resonate with these kinds of parents not just Nigerians...
Ghanaians can also attest to this

its funny how we Africans claim to train children best yet generations grow to be the most corrupt and dirty ever whiles European societies relatively grow better and cleaner despite not going thru this rigorous stuff

so ironical.....

Nigerian mothers are stricter than the average health inspector. Lol,interestingcheesy

When such a child accepts things in a good way,it will help the situation. In future,you may come to like all of your parents antics if it affects you postively.

Chai, I do almost all these to my kids oo and I said I wouldn't train my kids the way my parents trained me but I don't flog sha, I spank. Na Dem papa dey trash them mercilessly when they misbehave.

I will never ask an outsider to beat my kids o, my father once, after flogging my lil bro seriously at home, told his teacher in school to continue cos he had to catch a flight out of the country. My brother fainted that day, and they rushed him to my mom. From where my dad travelled to, he kept calling and asking how my brother was doing, he felt bad but he never apologized!

caught a glimpse of my fathers report card one time, na 9th I see o, but everytime he will be saying he always came first.

anyway my lil daughter can greet well sha, she greets everyone including strangers when walking on the street, haba! I have told her to limit the greeting only to people in the house or anyone she sees me greet.

1.When Mummy sends you on an Errand and You dare Frown, she goes "You are all Ingrates in this Family, Iya Monsuru's Children will ALWAYS BEG for Chores to carry out for their Mummy, always fighting themselves to be the First to do the Chores" (Jeez! I'm yet to see such a Perfect Child)

2. My Mum was a "Consultant General Practitioner"!
The Smell of your Stool is enough for you to be subjected to a 3 Day Herbal Therapy(Agbo) to "clean your Spoilt Stomach!" Refusal to Eat is ofcourse "Confirmed Malaria!"
Even when I finished Med Sch and Criticized her Treatment Regimen, she went "It was this Treatment I gave you from childhood till you went to this your Dokita School and it didn't kill you, now you know more than me abi?" Hence even as a Doctor, I dare not antagonize her "Malaria" diagnosis and take her medication without a fuss to this day!

3. Daddy will NEVER compliment you on a good Result, yet ALL THE NEIGHBOURS, RELATIVES, FAMILY FRIENDS keep telling you how Proud your Dad is of your Results!

4. You fail any Exam (JAMB, WAEC etc) and you are caught watching TV (My God, You are finished !!!)

5.You have a Female Visitor, Mum comes to Sit in the Living Room with You and keeps quiet staring at you both!

6. You find a Girl to marry, Mum dishes out Thousands of Naira(despite complaining of no Money) to Various "Rapid Reconnaisance Squad" Village Aunties who embark on extensive Intelligence gathering over Long Distances looking out for family History of divorce, mental illness, infidelity, etc! on your Fiancee's side. Only an "ALL CLEAR" from them can get the gears rolling!

7. My Father was always "Generous, Kind, Funny,Warm" to all other Kids EXCEPT his Own!

Nigerian Parents are the most Charming Slave Drivers in the World!

Respect and Nigerians are two different things. When have Nigerians suddenly become respectful?! lipsrsealed Not those shady display of cultutral norms looking for means to swindle you of your money. Please, take that cultural primitiveness to somewhere else. Nobody is going to take this seriously because most Nigerians I have met are arrogant and irritating in their puffiness. They would even want to take advantage of you if you respect them. I have stopped respecting my people for long having see that they use it to take advantage of you.

If my mom lays her hands on you ,you'll begin to wonder if you were adopted.Even as an adult she can't just resist spanking me on the back if I misfire and when I pretended it wasn't painful the old lady will grab my arm and bite me just to get even grin

My Dad will only use one proverb to destroy your day. grin

Sometimes I look at them as age catches up with them and I feel so bad especially when they complain about being weak and body aches .I know they love me and wouldn't want me making mistakes hence the military drilling to instil self control,respect ,fear and self contentment.
Woe betides you if you dare take a gift from a stranger without seeking for their unspoken but silent approval or disapproval by looking into their eyes while they pass that silent and subtle coded message.
But I can clearly remember my Dad telling me not to allow anyone to bully me into submission and he clearly told me to fight for myself and not to come back home crying to them to do my fighting and I when ask him what I should do if the aggressor is stronger and bigger and he clearly ask me to use my teeth grin
Omo! When I bite two to three kids for the neighborhood with bitter parents coming to our house for a showdown,na so the man advice me to limit my biting to certain peeps. cheesy

Nigerian parents will beat you back to normalcy if you think that abnormalities are fun. grin

i remember failing english in high school, maybe js1 or 2 and i got home and my dad said, "how come you failed english?" and I said "Only one person passed it; we all failed". Oh, my. come and see vexing. "what kind of nonsense is that? The boy that passed it, does he have two heads?" After chopping beating tire on top 'red' (failures) in my report sheet, omo, na tippex sure pass o. grin

i go don buy am down before the day wey we dey vacate. lol.

The most annoying part of doing poorly in school apart from the beating was that whenever his friend comes to visit, he'll say "oya, go and bring your report card and come and show your uncle. He is getting zero in school (odo lo ngba ni school)"
