Nihilist: Then maybe this an indictment on that approach, no?

Nihilist: Without understanding the full story, then you are not in a position to determine what is an 'appropriate response' to the father's alleged assault.

If it is true that the father bit him, then I suspect that there is deeper history of abuse that we are not aware of.

That being said, actually hitting a 21 year old man in the name of 'discipline' is enough to trigger an extremely aggressive response especially if recurrent.

Looking at it critically, what right does the father have to hit the son in question? Could the father have hit a random errant 21 year old man in the street in the guise of 'discipline' without fear of retaliation?

The father had no respect for the son and did not consider him an adult, possibly because the son as a student was still dependent on him financially and otherwise.

Imagine a scenario where the son lived alone and was self-reliant. Even if the son defied his father's instructions in this scenario, do you think the father would be as inclined to physically beat his son for disciplinary reasons?

I'm not saying that the son is right for killing him, but it is possible to push people so far, and they end up doing things they regret in the red mist of anger...

Nihilist: You obviously have no justification for the father's alleged physical abuse of the son...

Only an idiot would describe BITING as an act of 'discipline'

Nihilist: I see you keep avoiding the son's claim that the father BIT him....

And who are you to determine how the man in question should respond to being physically abused?

Would you be making this idiotic statements if a girl(or boy for that matter)who was being sexually abused by her father picked up a knife and stabbed her abuser?

If the perp in question is telling the truth about his father assaulting and actually BITING him, then your brain should tell you that this probably was a spontaneous eruption of pent up aggression rover several years of enduring some horrific abuse...

I mean what sane father bites his own offspring? Especially a 21 year old man?

I'm sure you must have been beaten and bitten so hard as a child, and you are consequently suffering from advance Stockholm Syndrome

crusader01: What is happening has nothing to do with the Private christian unversities. Most of their students attend the school for the purpose of rehabitation. Some are brought in from abroad to those schools for God's divine intervention that is why CU is known for strict rules and regulation to help them shape their lives.

adewaleh: Assuming the guy don do JAMB tire before entering that school, maybe he would have gained some senses.
Too bad for a person brought up by a christian parent to be so wayward, he should face the punishment.. God save us from evil people.
Make no friend with an angry man, with a furious man thou shalt not go..

Ishilove: I completely agree. Let them look at the horrible matter from all angles. But come to think of it, how many drug addicts have you heard murdered their parents??

Ishilove: @Op, this story just dey pain my body. I have a friend who has a younger brother with these traits. The boy is full of wickedness and stubborness, and he has even raised a cutlass agains his own elder brother (my friend) and left a scar on his face. The boy's mother has taken him out for several deliverance sessions, but nothing yet. It has gotten so bad that whenever their mother is going out in the morning, she hides all sharp implements in the house so that she wouldn't come back from work to hear stories that leave the eyes misty.

Where do all these demonic children come from sef?

smileandlove: . Don't sit there and type rubbish . You don't know what the future holds for you. My father inlaw is a Dr but he was bed ridden for years I had to bring him to stay with me and I still let him express himself. Without him maybe I won't have a husband. And I espect my children to do same to

50calibre: Israel is above any form of reproach or international law, their oppression of Palestine has continued unabated.

Israel has always been heavy handed in their retaliations.

Human rights organisation and the so called super powers are wilfully blind to israel's atrocities. The US's double standards and age long pandering to the Jewish state, won't allow her speak out and as for the British, they are mere puppets of America, kept under a tight leash, they have no opinion or views of their own, they only echo what Washington says.

Boss13: Assessment of Fashola's Administration

Promises with no implementation. Talk, talk and more talk. Finally, blame state government ineffectiveness on the federal government.

Prowizy2: Luiz and Dante. . The most useless combination ever!

FDenigma: I politely disagree. JOHESU is a recent amalgamation of strange bedfellows whose only uniting bond is an inferiority complex directed at doctors.

Even within their ranks, they still tussle over who is "superior" (pharmacist better than Physio better than nurse, etc) as if that is what matters.

Most doctors didn't even know the union existed until they went on strike and locked up medical records and instruments. When doctors heard their absurd demands, they laughed...until FG approved all of them.

Unfortunately, as "underdogs", they seem to have public sympathy but let's call a spade a spade without emotions or "beef".

singlefade25: Feeling like crying, the woman loves her baby, she did not abandon her baby, she gave her baby a better life and another chance.

iwonbaoko: By nature human beings compare themselves to others. No one wants to feel inferior or cheated.Take my young lad you place a plate of food in front of him and what does he do ,eat? No! he starts looking to see what everyone else has got. OH his big brother has "TWO MEAT" why does he have "ONE MEAT" and so he starts Aluta, at that age imagine!! His mothers say "sorry" she carries the food to the kitchen takes the meat and cuts it into four pieces and returns it to him he is placated,smug even.He starts taunting his big brother . That is the story of our young people who want to have DEGREES "by force" and so now you have 1000 students occupying what was designed for 50-100. They come out with degrees but will soon realize their degrees are not worth anything they have many pieces of "small meat". Protesting will not change much . If people protest too much government will just leave them with their extra meat illusion but the employers know better.

The rich people send their children abroad with some getting Masters degrees at the ages of 21 22 23. They have ONE MEAT but it is a very big one indeed. It is not a level playing field;most people are in the middle of snarling traffic whilst you have another lane like BRT lane for a few. Government alone cannot fund university education Even if government can only afford to pay for 50000 so be it let those 50000 be of the best quality,the biggest meat. This idea that it should be a free for all is simply not sustainable
