Exactly, it's an African thing and this is one of the few places we are getting it right
Why do you think there's a great difference between kids brought up here and kids brought up abroad?
The beatings we get here reform us, shape our characters so that we will end up as responsible adults
While over there where beating a child is considered as child abuse, don't you see how useless and disrespectful their children are? Insulting and exchanging words with their parents and even threatening to call the police on them?
So sir, I don't consider beating as esteem destroying. Pls, not everything African is evil or backwards.

After yu finish reading the verse 4 of that bible passage, pls kindly open the same bible to proverbs 29 :17 and proverbs 23 :13

How do you expect to have rest if you're still beating a guy of 22+ over coming home by 7pm , he's no more a child for crying out loud... Even the bible knows that with time over-doing this things could result in serious damages, thats why it said dont provoke him to WRATH not ANGER!, you know there's a difference between those two words, right .... What happened to giving him a time frame , or using words to melt his heart .... Our problem is that we love explaining the bible in a way that'll suit us without looking at it from different perspectives so as to really understand what it's saying... peace

Where do i start this ??

Well, i and a group of friends headed to a friends house yesterday to talk about certain things ahead of the evening service which was scheduled to hold by 4 pm.... on getting there, we noticed he was always touching a particular part of his head, on enquiry we found out that he got a beating from his mum the previous night because he came back late around 7pm which led to a disagreement between them.... We couldn't hold back the laughter , though it didn't last long because it led to an arguement on whether his mum was right to still be beating a nigga who would be clocking 23 or 24 this year (not so sure about his age though, but i know he's past 21) .

I'm fully aware that this niggas parents are strict and are really good at dishing out serious beatings since the days of adam and eve, my dad quit beating me when i clocked 13 so i find it really amusing to see a guy in his early twenties still getting some touches from his mum....
Decided to bring it to NL in order to know you guys opinion on this.....

And at what age did you get your last beating ??

My grandma still hits my mum any time she feel say my mum misyarn or misbehave even my mum send her money. We are forever children to our parents. Just avoid the beating. If they beat you, not go happen. I prefer my parents to beat me even as i am married to curse from them

No one wants to be cursed by his/her parent, i just believe that using beating as a means of correction at that age isn't right ....

Your grandmum still beats your mum

If u respect ur mother, she won't beat u

You sure

I had one of the strictest fathers, who used every opportunity not to spare the rod while we were children. My mum supported him to an extent in this ministry. But none of them continued in this ministry when we turned 17. He always said at that age we have to decide who we want to become. That helped us a great deal to right, from a position of self determination and responsibility

God bless you brother

SexyStrawberry:
No matter how old u are, u will still remain a child in ur mother's eyes.
But seriously the woman needs to cut him some slacks as our new generation boys are very rebellious, she's lucky to have one who's cool headed.

GloryIsaac:



Calm down bro , lets not turn this place into an insults zone, you can bring forth your point without that...

Tomaxzyn1:

Exactly what dese kinda parents dunno...
The child only grows to FEAR and probably spite u..not to RESPECT nd love u(as shud be)

Tell them bro, its only a matter of time before he finally takes off never to come back again, how can somebody say The best thing to ever happen in his life is leaving his parents house

Are you a Nigerian

Jadonjack:


No mata how crazy a mother is, she will never result to beating her child(no mata how old) every time he/she makes trouble...

My brother, this is nigeria, what makes you think a child that still gets beatn at dat age isn't worth more than beating??!!

Do yu knw how many times he s bn sat dwn to talk to?, do yu knw how many times he s bn warned?!!

Yu stay with yur parents, yu must listn to watever it is they tell you to do unless of course they tell yu to run on a running train railway.

Ok bro but i've known this guys parents for a long time and i know fully well that they are strict disciplinarians, his dad has stopped beating though (old age has set in), at that time if you see where his dad is beating him or his senior brother, you'll think he was a senior military officer in NA, i'm talking about 8 to 9 years ago.... why am i referring to this?, if such beatings given to him at such an age then couldn't produce something positive, is it now that the mums own would .... if beating cant change a person by ages 15-17, then another less violent way has to be found.

Rainmaker69:

What sort of comment is this?

Extremely hard to believe, right

99foxxy:
Free born Nigerian.

And you've never been beating .... i have nothing to say

Jadonjack:


You are a disgrace to watever species yu from!


Yu mean yu will be happy to see yur younger sibling hit ur papa or mama while punishing him/her?!!! Ode!!

Even , in more developed countries, the highest you see a child do is call 911 which is also bad but fair
