Human survival you say? What is the life- expectancy in sub Saharan African countries Vs the west?

“My actions embarrassed the medical profession and brought it into disrepute and as a member of the medical community, I should be role model. I apologised sincerely to the GMC and the wider public,” he was quoted to have said.

“My behaviour was born out of my cultural upbringing, I should have known better and I take full responsibility for my actions. If I were to witness a similar occurrence by one of my colleagues, I would be the first to speak up and take action and report it to the appropriate authorities.

“I have been working abroad but have always given full disclosure of my sanction to all employers and the relevant medical authorities.

“I have attended courses in order to maintain my professional development and am clinically ready to resume practice in the United Kingdom where I could be of tremendous support to the medical community.”

After the incident, he was arrested and convicted at Leamington Spa magistrates court for ill treating a child and was sentenced to eight weeks in jail and ordered to complete 160 hours unpaid work. [/b]

This is actually ridiculous. They're trying to protect the child but suspended his father who's a bread winner to their home. Won't the child be affected too from the financial downtime?

Nigeria is actually a product of its people. Would you blame our foundation for the incredible number of yahoo boys, cultist and corrupt youths on our streets?
Your opinion on trump is very personal. About 48% of Americans voted for him. Probably you know something they don't know but that is up to you. And that is a topic for another day.
Now let me ask you and please be honest with your answer. In what ways are nigerian trained kids better than UK trained kids? Again how to we prove that the centuries of flogging has shaped africa for the better? You added that flogging a child wouldn't prevent him from stealing in the future so why flog him in the first place.
Also don't you think we can do better than our primitive ancestors? Evolution has made us much more intelligent than them. How can we still depend on their methods men centuries over? Africa really has to much work to do.

Fvckyouall:


and you are a serial child abuser, God let me the day a big mugu like you ever lay hands on my kid in the name of discipline I would make sure you die that day. African mentality ki you would be locked up in jail that's where your kind belongs

shadeyinka:

Yes o!
See how UK government is trying to create job by force for her jobless child therapists and family therapy doctors.


If the ogbanje master the art of dying, her parents will master the art of child burial!

LOL!

King44:
You are just an idiot idiot, if your kid misbehave I would discipline him or her and if you go beyond your bound you would be disciplined alongside your child.

The UK Medical Board don't need to shout because they make and bend the rules to suit their purpose.

Alright I got you now. Suddenly they now wanted their outcast of over 4yrs.

Dem no dey jobless o, they are in very high demand and not even enough because there is a shortage of child and adolescent therapists and psychiatrists in the UK even globally.

Rod is not cane. Rod are for animals not human beings.
Christian parents frequently seek the Bible in their effort to raise godly children. They believe that there is a biblical mandate to spank and they fear that if they don't spank, they will commit the sin of losing control of their child. They believe that Gad has commended them to spank and they take “spare the rod and spoil the child” literally, but in doing so they misunderstand the concept of the rod. The following are the biblical verses which have caused the greatest confusion:

“He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” (Proverbs 13:24)

“Folly is bound up in the heart of a child. But the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.” (Proverbs 22:15)

“Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.” (Proverbs 23:13-14)

“The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to itself disgraces his mother.” (Proverbs 29:15)

At first glance these verses seem to be in strong support of the use of corporal punishment, but do they really? Through a closer examination of the Hebrew word for “rod” (shebet) one can see that in the Hebrew dictionary it has various meanings, a stick for walking, writing, fighting, ruling, and punishment. The word “shebet” is most frequently used when referring to shepherds who are tending their flocks. The Shepherds used the stick to fight off prey and to gently guide wandering sheep, not to beat them.

Reread the passages above and replace the references to punishment and the use of the rod with the word “accountability” and the meaning stays the same.

For example:
Proverbs 13:24 would read, “He who spares accountability hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.”

Proverbs 22:15 would read, “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child. But holding him accountable will drive it far from him.”

Proverbs 23:13-14 would read, “Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you create a culture of accountability he will not die. Create accountability and save his soul from death.”

Proverbs 29:15 would read, “The culture of accountability imparts wisdom, but a child left to itself disgraces his mother.”

Christians believe that the bible is the inspired word of God and yet while holding fast to interpreting the “rod” in the Proverbs passages above as a mandate to spank, they dismiss other passages that seem too harsh by today’s standards, such as, “Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death.” (Exodus 21:15) or “If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head.” (Leviticus 20:9) Almost every parent would admit that their child has at one time said, “I hate you.” or “You’re not the boss of me.” or maybe, “F--- YOU.” But no one would say that their child should be put to death. And we would all agree that that child needs to held accountable for their choice in behavior. The Bible simply does not support spanking, it supports holding children accountable. It supports “train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) “Training” does not mean spanking, hitting, or any other form of corporal punishment.

We believe that creating a culture of accountability is the most loving thing you can do for your children. We believe in holding children accountable in a model that Jesus gave us. In the New Testament Jesus modified the Old Testament by providing us with a model of gentleness and love. He changed the eye for an eye approached and called for turning the other cheek and forgiving seven times seventy.
Consider these inspired words of God in your parenting, “Fathers do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:4), or “Fathers do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged.” (Colossians 3:21), or “What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love with a gentle spirit?” (1 Corinthians 4:21).

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Doctor which training did u give your son that made him behave like a maniac before the flogging?

If u give your son proper home training, he will not go about behaving like a demon.

Modified:

See them rushing to quote me without understanding, I am not against the correction (flogging).

My grouse is with the behavior of the boy before the flogging. The doctor was not doing his duty as a father by giving the boy proper home training hence the misbehavior.

It is these kind of children that will be molesting and bullying other kids in boarding school here in Nigeria.

Tcwork:

I would feel much more safe in a white street in most parts of us than in oshodi or onitsha at night not to talk of borno or kastina.
America kids like mark Zuckerberg and the likes who were nevery flogged are defining the 21st century.

you don't like your life abi, I will find you I promise

King44:
so okonjo eweala, whole Soyinka, chimamanda adichie and others didn't define history... Dangote etc didn't define history

Tcwork:

You really want to go there? I would name 20 Americans for every nigerian you name.
Let's give it to them, they have raised higher value human beings than we have. We can copy them. We have nothing to show for our domestic violence against children. Still if you are in for it, for every high value nigerian you name I would name 20 American that have even affected the world much greater.
From science, banking, innovation, literature, politics, music, military and the list is endless.

King44:
What value did they raised... We have a better way of raising children than them.... Whet we don't have is the right environment, education and functional gvt. Give every Nigerian kids these things you would be amazed by what you would see them do, even without that we are competing fine on our own without support.

Tcwork:

You keep saying we have a better way but it's not reflected on any aspect of our society.
What evidence do you have to show for it.
Isn't it our kids joining Boko Haram in the north?
Really ask yourself, how can you prove that our way is better? You can't just stick to a culture because your forefathers did it. Your forefathers did not have the amount of knowledge and intelligence that you possess today.
