True that but she did not start doing that until the son started disobeying her orders.

Kids will be kids, there's no avoiding that. If a parent can't cope with bringing up children, y botha having em?
There really is no justification for 'over' punishing kids. Guess the 'over' part is relative.

tpiah:
some of these posts would be better off modified btw. imo.

I speak for myself and am sure some others.

The experiences posted on here have been toned down, the reality is definitely richer in detail i'd bet.

My parents those days were terrible., but i wont talk about what they did to me because I was stubborn and they did it for my own good. BUT SOME OTHER PARENTS I KNEW BACK THEN WERE EVIL!!!
I remember our former neighbour back then who used to beat her children black and blue until they were unrecognisable. Although her children were "very stubborn" and she was a stressed out single mom who worked 4rm as early as 5am in the morning to like 10pm in the night, what she did on one fateful day was fetish.
She gave some intructions for her four children to carry out while she was at work, but her stubborn children decided to play and engage in other activities. I was asleep when she came back then, but the following morning I couldn't recognize any one of them. The Ada and only girl of the house sustained the most injuries, she was only 11yrs old and her mom held her wrist down while she pounded her hand with a real hammer until it bled. She locked the door so no one heard their cries. She hit her elder brother's head on the concrete wall until he fainted. They told me they wished they had died.Even after all the bleeding she allowed their wounds to get infected and it swelled up the next day with double pain. I think the Landlord of the house sent her packing i can't really remember.
This is just one of the thousands abuses that are happening to kids in Nigeria today.
The Government should establish a child protection agency and sue these parents to court, or put them in a psychiatric home, because I don't think our neighbour was alright upstairs, I mean why would you beat your children to the point they bled, and that wasn't enough to soften her heart, she still allowed it to get infected. That was her right arm, she couldn't even write in school because she didn't even bother to take them to hospital.She only gave them Panadol!!!!!

JESUS!!!

I think you probably highlighted some of the reasons why your mum was probably like that, and sitting back now and reflecting it on it will probably give you an insight into her state of mind as of then.

I kuku understand

Adamma, hmmmm, I haven't heard that. I think it's best for me to just go out there and look for his CD so I can feel all that Flavour he's got to offer.

Because we have two legs and pants were designed to be worn by humans with two legs.
If we were like mermaids now ehn ehn. . . but since we aren't, no issues then. Should this even be a topic?

Unfortunately, I discovered this awesome guy only recently. His songs r always on repeat for moi o.
Delicious lyrics and he sounds so so . . .lemme just leave it at delicious

.

Biko, make I no share anything tonight.
Got plans for tmr morning and wouldn't wanna wake up in cold sweat.

There was someone that said his father was still beating him in his dreams! Even after the said father had passed on!!

Metta n sele ni ilu yii walahi

Finally made it to the end and phew . . .

When I started reading, I couldnt wait to post my onw experiences but right now, I'm not sure that would be a good idea.
To everyone who has been bold enough to share, I say THANK YOU. You may have no idea the kind of semi closure your words have brought to people but rest assured, your words have gone a long way.

reflecting - we say its love but i think it may also be a case of the game of my pikin is better than yours carried to extremes

No such thing as love for some of these parents man. No such thing.

Yeah, it might be considered harsh but then what do we call the horrible horrible horrible things that some of us experienced as kids?

People close to me don't even know I have a mum!
She tries ending her phone calls with "I love you" and I'm like "OK mum, talk to you later".

She actually tried making amends sometime this year, but I wasn't willing to deal with old hurts there and then so I guess things r still hanging.

I think some of our parents were somewaht sick.

I used to think I was alone in this thing but this thread has opened up my eyes. Still on page 7 so can't make a full comment just yet.

oyb:
get it now?

I'd like to believe Akainzo got the scenario in the first place, he just found it hard to believe. Frankly, so do I.

A friend of mine used to thing Garri was made from Bread crumbs!

What exactly happened. Was a bundle activated for you without your being able to browse?

OMO IBO:
Pataki finally cracks a smile.
Tut tut tut.
You could've simply told me you wanted some attention.

You REALLY do not remember 'Anumanu' eh??
LOL

Care to enlighten us?

texazzpete:
Don't be silly. The OP claimed they were Blackberries. The post headline says they are Blackberries too. this is false advertisement and is downright dishonest.

Gadgetdeal actually said the OP was being dishonest:

gadgetdeal:
The phones in question are chinese made that looks like the blackberry, they are not fake fake, since the manufacturer did not claim they are bb, but it seems the seller is claiming they are, they are just not blackberries and do not have a pin, so you cannot use the bb messenger. I will say they are imitations

This guy is obviously tired of the whole system and definitely cannot be bothered about corporate areas any longer.

All these stories about Globacom really makes one wonder about the company's corporate culture though.

I believe heaps of such websites are already in existence. But then, the more the merrier.

Arse - HOT!!!
Dress - Hot TRASH!!!

When I saw the topic, that was what came into my head. What about LSMC Badore?

I am totally against the idea but they seem to have a really romantic view of Nigeria

There's nothing romantic here, especially not for a woman who needs dedicated healthcare.
Just 2 weeks ago, I watched my cousin die in a hospital. This was the same hospital that told his parents to take the child home barely 24hrs earlier.

I know people die everywhere, but then . . .

Iya oni iya that has been in one country since she was in her 20's is who u wanna relocate? Don't even think about it.
Even old people in Nigeria hardly want to change zones dey r used to even if it's a mud hut in a place without electricity. Just leave the woman be abeg.

What i suggest you do is insist on a carer for her.

Hmmmm

It's been well over a year since I made this post. In that period, I found myself in customer service and let's just say that it really isn't that hard to make the people who come to us for assistance happy.

I've enjoyed myself and received numerous compliments and appreciations. Nigerian customers are mostly easy to serve and usually show their appreciation when served right.

I'm on a peronal campaign to take customer service to another level in Nigeria, does anyone have any suggestions? What I do currently isn't quite far reaching enough.

Yikes. . .
Most of the mofos have come to sign their names on the register.

i`m an undergraduate student of physics education in one of the best university in Nigeria. currently, i`m in 300L with CGPA:4.20. The problem is i don`t want to be in learning environment. Initially, i put in for engineering course but i was giving physics ed but my love 4 eng course is still very great. how can i drop this career?

Almost too sure the school is UNILAG, na dem dey change destiny anyhow.

Previous posters have said it all. Certifications are the way to go these days. I don't believe there's any need for you to begin a B.Sc giving degree all over.

I know someone with O'levels only and he has an enviable job with an oil n gas company, backed with an official car and an apartment in VGC. Getting on the right path might be the only difficult part.
