Truth is that I am African but I dispise the standards in Africa. Africa seems too primitive, naive and backwards in terms of everything... and I've usually thought of raising my kids the British or American style.


of what importance is an African parents culture and tradition in raising their children the African way rather that the British or American way?


Would it be sensible if a child is a genius in English language than mother tongue.

Notin is really wrong with our way of life when it comes to bringing up a child, our way is the best with good morals but the problem is in the education and the environment. Our leaders have killed everything here in Nigeria, no good school apart from the private primary and secondary schools and most of them in some part of the country re not up to standard, they just have nice building and equipment. Our universities are finished, honestly there is notin left of our universities except maybe the private ones which u must be well to do before u could afford it. our health care centres are zero. if u hav the money to live abroad then pls do. Don't mind people telling u otherwise.

The best way to train your children is by teaching to distinguish right from wrong, how to be resourceful, respectful and hardworking

And try to leave enough money and inheritance for them so that they won't be build8ng from the scratch

I need to screenshot and laminate this your comment. "That building from scratch without any atom of help" Is reason why Africa is still backward.

White people are eons of years ahead of us, they are technologically advanced, medically advanced, development in first world countries gave way to human right laws, women right laws, laws that protect children and make it possible for them to have a good education in love, laws that protect the old, order, development...

And you are still asking if you should raise your kids like them

So my kid can walk out on me while am still speaking, make stupid decisions and ask me to mind my business under my own roof, wouldn't feel obliged to say MIGWO when they see elders and absolutely become spoilt brats without them knowing. All that while shielding them from the reallity of the Nigerian way of life, making them smart gullible dumbasses as soon as the step out my door and most importantly from under my wings........

No thank you, africa way it is. Afterall I did not turn out too bad

if you believe in values and morals you can teach your kids same anywhere in the world, there are lots of good responsible American kids, just because the system gives you freedom, does not make it less moral or having less value than the African system.

Africans, especially Nigerians have zero values. People with values in Nigeria are hated. If you want to stealing under your watch you're evil for not letting them to steal.

They are most holiest unrighteous hypocrites in the world that are very religious.

No I don't want to raise my kids the African way and not even in Africa.

Africa is too primitive, naive and backwards? How is this okay? If a white person says this you'll be screaming racism.

Don't be silly OP. You can raise your child anyway you choose to without being a raging racist and an idiot about it.

I've lived studied and worked in the UK in the past, I've got family in the US but I won't stoop that low to call Africa primitive. It's your child afterall. Raise him/her however your choose.

Why would you want to wear someone else's identity? That's living a lie and its self hatred. They will grow up to be called coconuts ( white on the inside and black on the outside )

What's important is education, exposure and opportunities they get in those countries.

Bros do not be deceived. The Nigerians in the diaspora that making us proud are not even aware that they are Nigerians; it is our dumb newspapers that keep saying they are Nigerians .


Infact, if you were to ask them personally, they would tell you they are citizens of their host country. So let us get that straight.


Lastly, the Nigerians that you mentioned are only doing the rubbish that they are doing because of foreign influence through social media. And you cannot use that as a yardstick to speak bad of Nigerian youths.

We are not ahead morally, infact we are fast becoming worse than them morally but still academically backwards.

Your average Nigerian sees immorality has advancement, progressive, but ignore the academic side.

Eg naija homo's will say Nigeria is backwards because they don't accept them, nudist, strippers, druggies,prostitutes also use similar arguments.

Culture and academics are two seperate entities.


No. We have immoral people just like they do, but we don't normalise immorality and impose it on everyone like they are always doing. There is a world of difference. At least we have a sense of shame when it comes to immorality; except when we try to be like them and adopt their foolishness under the guise of forward sounding labels like 'human rights', 'women's liberation', 'freedom of speech', 'free market' etc. Notice how much they use nice words like 'freedom, knowledge and liberation' to give inferior Africans a false sense of security, just like the biblical myth of Satan did when he allegedly got Eve to eat the apple.

We do not ignore the academic side. We just never sit down to think whether their style is adapted to our needs. Because of our inferiority complex, we simply believe that they are superior and we keep trying to emulate their methods to fulfill our needs. We fail to understand that their world is built on the basis of greed and hyperconsumerism which is not our culture here. So we are using the proverbial wrong tools for the right job, and we will keep failing in that sense.
