moremi2008: Hahaha! You've got nothing to teach me because you're not particularly bright (that's just the honest truth). If I wanted to "gain knowledge", I would consult a book written by an actual pro, read the Nytimes or WSJ, or use Google.You are itching for some intellectual thumping, aint ya? coogar: that idiagbon policy would constitute a child abuse here.The idiagbon policy raised me. It was not abuse, it was discipline. Singapore policy would be perfect for retarded Nigerians, especially in Lagos. coogar: so do you think a child should carry a cell phone?Do I think a typical 10 year old needs a mobile phone? Hell No! Do I think their might be very rare exceptions where a 10 year old might need a mobile phone? Yes. Is "it is better to be safe than sorry", or "I want to know where they are", a rare exception? No. |
patriot2: No actually he is probably a failure, this is what failures do, they convince them selves that failures are the true winners. In the head, the first will be the last and the last will be the first. ![]() E no go better for IBB and Abasha! ![]() |
coogar: singapore is a nanny state. i would expect them to have strict laws about sex there.I am very happy with their idiagbon policy. And I can guarantee you that it is the same idiagbon policies that the Indians and Chinese use for their kids in the UK/US and those kids excel. The teenage pregnancy kids are usually the kids raised with modern, funky policies and kids from single parenthood. The Idiagbon policy mixed with a Sagamite flavour would be robustly reliable in raising a child. (Dead or Alive) coogar: the law must cater for all and sundry no matter how remote.Cater for all and sundry? Chineke! I am not talking about laws here. I am talking about parenting and I can guarantee you no immigrant child who cannot speak English would be in my household. Who said anything about public prohibition? I talk about Olopaa arresting anybody for giving their child phone so far? |
coogar: actually, it's even better to expose them to such at 10.I happen to have an ex-girlfriend that was Dutch. If UK like, let them teach it like a Vatican education. They would still have high pregnancy rates because of their culture. Culture is an intangible, holistic and complex thing that can not easily be replicated. What my Dutch ex told me (and she did high school in both UK and Netherlands) is that in Netherlands they teach it as a science, in the UK, they teach it as a precaution (basically, use protection if you decide to do it). And for the record, the Middle East and places like Singapore have a lower teenage pregnancy rate outside marriage than Netherland. And kids there are prohibited without formal sex education. coogar: ok....substitute majority for minority.I would struggle to integrate a child that can not speak a few words of Engligh in my argument without it feeling like I am boiling the ocean. I would struggle to think of what proportion of 10 year olds in the UK, US and Nigeria that cannot say a few words of English to say they are going home. It is insignificant and a waste of time in the grand scheme of things. The confluence of a 10 year old immigrant kid that can not speak a word of English and ending up in a place where an accident happened, police blocked the road and he has no alternative road to reach home is too remote to even give a consideration or justify "10 year olds must then have personal mobiles". |
coogar: with the proper upbringing, i doubt he/she would sext or porn.Part of upbringing is not exposing a 10 year old to such. Not saying it is insignificant and say they will not look at it or it does not make them bad if they look at it. coogar: the thread asked if a child should own a cell phone.This is what you said: coogar: conveniently ignoring far majority of these kids don't even speak english as their first language. |
Brite02: my 2 young nephews one almost 10 the other 12. Have since, pressing and pressing hard the nokia torch light phone in the house, even going to the length of playing games on it,, they now know to save number, call numbers, receive calls, what can i say? It is now necessary these days for that age range to own a phone, a low end phone for that matter is a necessity, i tell u.What logic did you use to arrive that it is necessity? |
coogar: how would a nokia 3310 be a tool to pornsites?So because there was some teenage pregnancy in Nigeria in the past I should ignore if my child is watching [i]p[/i]orn or sexting? coogar: so the outright prohibition of mobile phones in children shouldWhat you said was far majority of the kds don't speak English. How did immigrant kids that cannot speak English become majority or represent majority in US/UK/Nigeria? How did we get to using immigrant kids to be representative about kids in general or the kids of majority of people on this thread? |
OAM4J: Industrialisation will unlock Nigeria’s wealth and corruption will sentence Nigeria economy to death.Boko Haram and Northern violence will act as gate-man to unsure industrialisation does not enter. |
coogar: what are the imminent dangers? these phones would beThe issue of sexting and p[i]o[/i]rn by my child and who my child is mixing with is very significant when my parenting style is considered! coogar: those immigrants, asylum seekers who don't speak english?Since when did we start talking about immigrant kids? How did immigrant kids that cannot speak English become majority or represent majority in US/UK/Nigeria? |
coogar: i disagree. any device that adds to the safety of my child cannot be harmful.How can the remote possibility of danger be priority over other more imminent dangers? You can as well just hire two professional body guards that are 6ft 6 with muscles like a Rhino and make sure they don't go out without the guards. coogar: conveniently ignoring far majority of these kids don't even speak english as their first language.Majority of the Kids in UK, US or Nigeria don't speak English? Really? |
MRbrownJAY: kai, you would do all this when you could simply call their mobile, in the comfort of your own office/home?!I would rather do that 50 times than to be in my office while my 10 year old daughter or son is watching porn on the mobile or passing messages with some 12 year old Hot boy and arranging to meet to "see what it is like". MRbrownJAY: - accident happened, the street was blocked and they had to walk all around the block.- Take the parallel street or tell the police that is your only way home. They are sane people, they would let a 10 year old through to go home. - That is a good one. Elevators now have alarm bells and the next person would know it is stuck. - The doctors are trained to call parents when minors are brought in. I am sure medical schools are as good as that. - When they are suppose to be at home? They better let the family member notify Daddy or ensure the errand is very brief. MRbrownJAY: no matter how you want to look at it, the mobile phgon eis here to stay.....the cell phone is NOT bad for a child, in the contrary.I never said it is not here to stay. But it, in my view, is more likely to do harm than prevent it. - They access things you hope they do not access. - They use it to turn to porn stars because of peer pressure. Even Tulisa could not escape that at 18. - They use it to keep secret contact with opposite sex (some even older kids) and make me a grandfather by 40. - It distracts them from their education because they are constantly on facebook or playing games. - They use it to join peer pressure organised fights. - They are consistently bullied through it 24 hours instead of it ending at school (if they are being bullied). - And so on. All these are FAR more likely than being stuck in elevator, being kidnapped or being bitten by a dog with rabies. MRbrownJAY: and i fully respect your view on the subject, but sadly some parents would rather have this safe tool to make sure that they can contact they children whenever they feel is necessary, unless that child is with a TRUSTED adult at all times.I would expect a 10 year old to be in controlled environments in the presence of trusted adults most times. The few times they are not, is OK. I am not wrapping my kids in cotton-wool. stillwater: I won't buy a 10yr old a phone, unless circumstances, like sisikill pointed out, require it. The determinant for my teenage child to get a phone depends on how good he/she is with his/her gradesDaddy concurs! |
Iranoladun:Thank you! One of the numerous cons with a kid having a mobile and which realistically is more likely to occur than some physical safety threat. Iranoladun:Good set-up. |
coogar: your link shoes the trend continues to increase year in year out.Unfortunately what you need for them is not a mobile. You will need to get them a bullet proof vest if you really worry that much about shooting. If you REALLY want to be certain, then you will add giving them a personal gun to the vest, so they can gun the mudafucker back. Mobile would not be much help. The school's security, dinner ladies, teachers and co would have enough mobile phones to call 999 when they hear someone shooting at kids in a school. |
MRbrownJAY: may i ask what you will do if they dont appear?!I would call/go to where they are suppose to be and look for them. If they are not where they are suppose to be at 10 years old for an extended period of time to the point I have to worry, then they are in physical danger. Physical danger of either a criminal or my cane. MRbrownJAY: what has discipline got to do with missing the bus or being late due to unforeseen reason?!What unforeseen reason? At 10 years old, you would do your stuff in the locality where you can walk home. If not, you would be picked up. MRbrownJAY: it is not about what you want. you brought the issue of "back in the days" and i was just showing you that NOBODY died because they didnt have a mobile phone back then, but many sure cant live without one now.I sure wouldn't want to raise a child that cannot live without a mobile phone, neither will I feel the mobile phone is best for the child. At 10, they would be at home most times. when out, they might be with a responsible adult or they are in the locality. MRbrownJAY: nah, its simply a way to put everything on your side, to succeed. i'd rather look foolish and safe than cool but sorry.I would not be paranoid enough to worry that much about my kids. And I feel there is more possibility of harm having a mobile at 10 than preventing harm. Each has its pros and conc. I just feel not giving them the mobile at 10 gives the more positives. |
coogar: and you would agree there are more depraved criminals around nowNo. There have always been depraved animals in history. More so in the past. Shootings have been occuring in US schools for years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_shooting#History_of_School_Shootings_in_the_United_States A phone would hadly save them from bullets, it will, as you said, just add a 'sense'-of-security to a parent. I am not really that paranoid about my child's safety, and I [would] love them as much as anybody else. I just don't buy into the whole cotton-wool parenting and fear consumerism. |
coogar: yes! i am a businessman, i can't be around my child at all times.My father was not around me all the time, the same for everyone around my age. We did not even have drivers to take us to school, except you are mistaking the danfo driver as some kind of personal driver. You can't speak to them through the driver's phone? |
MRbrownJAY: NOT during, but before and after, when that child is on its way there (you know on its own).Why? They are going to go maximum 3 times a week. They will spend 15/30 mins to get there, play for an hour and spend 15/30 minutes to get back home. Sometimes dropped off or picked up buy you or your wife? Why do you urgently need to contact them? MRbrownJAY: what if they dont? what if they are late? what if they met a friend and are wasting time out there?I would expect a child to be disciplined enough to know when they are expected back home at the age of 10. MRbrownJAY: i did too, and guess what, i never even needed to be contacted at all time of the day...but sadly i own a cell phone now. if WE adults have evolved, why would you want chidren NOT TO?!I don't know since when what I want entitles a child to also want the same. I want to bone Kim Kardasian senseless and would if she gave it up, does not mean a child is entitled to bone whoever he wants as well. When he gets older, he can have what he wants. MRbrownJAY: its called PEACE OF MIND. i want to know where my kid is at all time, and know that they are SAFE....and yes, if i was living in an area where there is shooting all around, then i would buy them a bullet proof vest. a mobile phone is just a device to be a able to contact your child, if that child spends a great deal of time out there by themselves......but hey, if you'd rather wait in suspense biting your nail, then fair enough!No, that is just paranoia. Train them well, and you will have a clue where they are most of the time and know they will do their best to stay out of trouble. You don't need to know where they are all the time. Secondly, from my experience, that statement of "i want to know where my kid is at all time" is just some funky mentality of thinking it shows "I love my kids like mad". It is the typical "I am the one that loves his/her kids the most". Come on. Most people love their kids as much as you do. A 10 year old child should not be in a position to be abducted/lost/injured. And if that should happen, I doubt the mobile would save them. |
coogar: a child should own a fone by age 5/6!You intend to send them to church or school on their own when they are 5/6? |
MRbrownJAY: that surely isnt a wise reason to buy someone a phone..... and we surely can understand why the only use he has for it is to contact his buddies.Why will I need to desperately contact my 10 year old during school trips, music classes or football? Why can't I wait till they get home? I grew up going to school on my own, so did my generation. There is no need for a mobile for life and death emergency. Virtually all are still alive today. ![]() That life and death philosophy is just fear consumerism. Why not buy them a bullet proof vest just in case of stray bullet. Or you think a modile phone would stop the bullet or even a knife stab? |
ZIM DRILL: the only emergency a child of that age can go through is when an adult who is charge of looking after that 10yr old collapses etc then thats when the child can take the phone from the collapsed adult and phone emergency numbersIt is what psychologists have tagged "fear consumerism". |
MRbrownJAY: if they are often away from home, and/or on their own, then i think it is safe to have a mobile for emergency and peace of mind (knowing that you can contact them whenever you need to)How can a child be often away from home. Dem pikins dey go on business trips nowadays? MRbrownJAY: ^^^football practice, field trips, music classes, after class studies, private tutor etc the list is long. yes, some may have a driver that take their kids to school and back home, but many live in a world where their kids are out there in the real world.You will desparately need to call you child during the 1 hour 30 mins of going to play football? Funnily enough, the only kids that can logically need a mobile based on your logic are probably the 6 year old street hawkers. Since they are the typ not to have anyone looking over them while they are away on business.Rotmyt: I don't think it is a bad idea, it depends on the purpose it serves.My kid sister got her first phone @ age 10. My mum neither takes her to school nor brings her home. So, all my sister does with the mobile phone is to inform my mum that she's on the bus to school, has gotten to school, at the bus station and on the bus back home.Why does she need that much information? chardino: to my own mind i actually dn't see any thing wrong with a 8 or 10yr old kid to have a phone for emergency sake.You mean like in an orphanage? ZIM DRILL: why not phone whoever will be in charge of thw football practice and those field trips etc and besides they should have your number as the parent or guardian not the child of that age ZIM DRILL: what emergency can happen to him/her at that age of 10 that no one wont be around except him/her ?Thank you toluxa1: It actually depends. For example, my younger brother is 15 and my mum bought him a Nokia X2. Up till tomorrow I made it clear to them that its a bad idea. Immediately he comes back from school, first place is to his phone, 2go, chatting. Sometimes I see him online at 12am. The truth is these things are a serious deterrent to the seriousness of our young ones. Many kids failing WAEC and NECO, fail because they are distracted by 2go, whatsapp, facebook, etc.So fcking well said! |
knotty: If the story had ended there, sad as it would have been, not much lessons would have been learnt.They must be mad. They would give me back my money if they have any sense. |
Beaf: God! Death, just like that?!Lined up and shot with the Silverback Gorilla who you lick his arse that does not see them as a severe problem? |
slumcat: wow. i neva tot u dat wud be able to spot d errors in ma comment....now i see a lil hope n maybe ur mental illness can be cured. say hi 2 ur psyphiatrist 4 me n pls always take ur pills.person, you be militant? People, see bullets o! Cretinous illiterate. ![]() |

Kay 17: LOL!!YOU are gay, come off it! You are a person for saying I said morals form human rights. Homosexuality is not a human right. |
Kay 17: Its not a war.Of course it is not war. I am well aware you are gay just based on your argument pattern. This is not the first time I am debating with you. Other gay ones like you are all4naija and Eko Ile. No matter the logic put forward to you, you will never accept any logic that proves homosexuality is not acceptable. You just love to waste peole's time by scraping at any distractive arguments when any of your moronic and numerously lame points is highlighted. You are time waster since you are not here to hear an argument or be corrected. You are just here to justify your homosexuality. |
Kay 17: BUT it was you who claimed there were no personal freedom but morals and I clearly pointed out to you that its not the case and such claim was ridiculous!!!You are a person! |
