This Has Been Going On For Too Long, I Need Advice by trigar12(op): 8:15pm On Jan 04, 2015
Well, am 21years old and I just finished my ND program. Currently am looking ƒσя company(ies) to observe my one year industrial attachment. I won a phone on a radio station in VI, lagos and am to redeem the my price between monday 5th to friday, I told my dad about it and told him I'll be going to the place tomorrow and I also want to use the opportunity to drop my IT letter in some companies in VI. He called my uncle and told him he dosen't know Wђεяﻉ am going to and that the place am going to might be a ploy ƒσя ritual stuff. I ve been receiving calls from various family members talking to me like a child. Am just angry, they don't even know what I do when am in school or Wђεяﻉ I goto in school, though I don't engage in any bad parole. Am just pissed off .... Don't know what to do. I need advice, cos am tired of being looked at like a 15yr old child.

You must have been giving your parents reasons to doubt you.What you should do now is to begin to show an exemplary character.
Talk to your father and ask him if he can kindly pick up the phone for you and help you drop those IT letters in some companies.

Hahahhahahahahaa I feel your dad a lot. In his own time, there was probably nothing like winning a phone from a radio station so he can't fully come to terms with it. Also, he may feel your inability to secure an IT placement is pushing you to become desperate.

In all of this, he has not erred and neither have you. You just need to communicate with him more, give him all necessary assurance that you are still a good son despite ur trials and he will be happy to let you be. You can't solve the issue with him by using force!

You're 21 years old and you think you are old? If you like be 70, if your father and mother are still alive you are still their child.

If ritualist kidnap your enemy, the highest your parent will do is cry, and they will be given sedative in the hospital; then case close.

Pls, be happy that you have parents that care, Please. I feel your pain but still, see it as a privilege. Some don't have it.

Guy, wake up! And stop whining! I know what your parents are trying to do and its called "domestication". They'll stop u from going out to make it in life and would still blame u and push u out at d end of d day. Don't allow it! Be a man! Don't let them domesticate u.

I av a friend who's parents did dis same thing to: he wasn't allowed freedom, hence, was more like a chicken. 15years after (he's abt 36years now), d parents are complaining of him not going out like his siblings who are in lag and other states. And I warned in back then but he wouldn't listen. Now d father is planning to throw him out if he doesn't get a place of is own: And this was same thing I told him donkey years ago. He's got no serios job as we speak!

Oun t'aye ba so e da, ni won maa fi bu e (yurba adage) and it means u'll be blamed/abused by same folks who hindered u from making progress! Wake up man!

You don't understand the guy's reason for this post, do you? Some times as a man, you have to take decisions on your own, you plan on your own &create your own path to follow. Some parents are just too overprotective to the extent that their children can't decide anything on their own until they consult their parents (even after marriage). Parents are parents but they can't always control your life. I started making my own decisions when I was 18(it wasn't easy) but today, my parents are proud of who I become. I started by paying for my WAEC resit, pay for my JAMB & I don't eat at home except dinner.While under them, I provide for myself, I work and I depend on my #4500 salary then to survive. Throughout my university days, I only collected school fees from home, all other things-I was working off campus to get them. I hope you understand my little experience

lools. its a phase, its gonna be history soon. Mumc used to police me like that n make me feel caged but in public (behind my back), she boasts about how well behaved I am n all that, though she never gave me that impression.

Guess popc doesn't want you to feel he trusts u too much so you won't mess up and betray his trust that's why he acts like Inspector Gadget.
