Well I pay my children 40k and 75k respectively and before they can withdral from the account the bank calls me to comfirm. And they will also let me know. And they cannot withral more than 5k now that they are still schooling from home.why am doing this is because no one knows tomorrow if I something happens to me they can stand before getting the will. I don't trust men. 1 Like |

OP, pls how did you get to school in UK? You worked hard to pay your school fees? You are right to some extent but we all want a better future for our children. Rich families who got wealth through legitimate way train their child and are well cultured with values. You may be talking to polithiefcians 'cos u don't steal public funds and invest on ur children then expect them to become meaningful in life. That is the law of repercussion. 1 Like |

Well if you're a kid of rich parents, after graduation u wouldn't bother go looking for a job, a job will be handed over to you in due time. In fact when you're in school a job is already waiting for you. It's good to be rich 1 Like |

Niggaz hating on rich kids. I see no reason why parents should be scoulded for spending their monies on their kids. If white rich parents want to do otherwise that is their problem. Please leave black parents alone and stop hating on rich black kids. 1 Like |

My best advise to Nigerian youths is that be an entrepreneur. It is hard at first, but pays more as you go. I am an event venue decorator and I'm proud of my works. WWW.fb.com/niftydecors 1 Like 1 Share

It all boils down to discipline! If you as a parent have what it takes to make your child comfortable, why not?.. Just train your child in a way that he/she can survive during the rainy days. You don't have to go and "work" for someone during sch or hols.. Before you are seen as "not spoilt" how about working for urself.?! A lot of Nigerian students have their personal business. And they are doing just fine! there are people who put into good use, the money they get from their parents.. But the mentality most people like the OP have is that "you have to suffer before you get what you want in life" I don't buy into this idea at all.. Well some people have to suffer and some don't. And am of the opinion you can make it to the top without stress. And don't forget, we all have our various definitions of "stress and suffering 1 Like |

Koroaso: And will blaming them for everything help. You've programmed yourself in such a way that if someone don't give you a job, you are never gonna be someone. Like its your birth-right. Mst if those so called thieves worked for everything they had. I am not condoning any of it but if you got up your lazy ass and worked half as hard as they did, I am sure you will make something of your self. Sit down and continue blaming them. 1 Like |

I keep seeing this stupid letter on this forum. If you want a different outcome then parents would have to be more flexible. If Nigerians as a whole and Nigerian parents in particular are angry at the product then they should both look within - garbage in, garbage out is a very simple equation that would best describe what many are railing against. Would Nigerians accept that parents should be more understanding? That children should be allowed to ask questions? That children learn by doing and are naturally curious? That children need guidance without anger? That corporal punishment is a form of domestic violence and thus evil? That the responsibilities of the household are for the parents and that children should only be concerned with their immediate welfare and development? Will Nigerians understand that they have too many children (on average) and are under undue stress as a result, which they then push on to the children? Nigerian society has to be made to see that independent thinking and actions are healthy habits that should be nurtured - traits that many Nigerian parents/elders seem fearful of. Those that show superior parenting habits in Nigerian society are often treated with suspicion and hostility. The author of this piece has failed all measures of logic by writing this piece. She seems to think that human beings raise themselves, the reality is that parental responsibility is a huge factor - what we see is what we emulate. If the author is serious about this issue then they should begin by addressing the many flaws that Nigerian parents typically display in their child-rearing habits. What the author has done with this article is begin halfway through the story instead of beginning at the foundation. Such an assessment would require a thorough examination of Nigeria - dealing with the cult of 'elders', through to the plague of superstition and religion in the nation. When the author does that then they may find out why Nigerian society is the way that it is. In the mean time they will join the other cowards in blaming those without power or responsibility for the failings of the society. P.S. The author, in a manner consistent with her dishonest tone refused to mention the amount of money that many Western parents spend on their adult children by way of buying homes, buying cars, spending exorbitant amounts on over-elaborate weddings, recreational around the world travel. I also know of many who have received hefty 'loans' from their parents for unspecified, non-performing businesses. This does not even deal with the issue of people who are 'placed' in jobs as a result of a family connection. This article really was written for the benefit of the clueless Nigerian masses who cannot see the wood for the trees and allow imbeciles like this author to present an entirely fictitious notion of life outside of Nigeria. 2 Likes |

@ OP, thanks for sharing this as it echoes my most recent sentiments. In the last two weeks I have been bugged with the feeling of entitlement being expressed by young persons some of whom are not necessarily from the rich homes. The almighty 'my children will not go through what I went through' syndrome deluding our children from ages past. I feel its time we call ourselves to order, reevaluate our parenting skills and methods. It is time children are made to understand the true realities of everyday experiences and not the proverbial 'he who is carried on the back, does not know the distance of the journey'. Earlier this month facebook was awash with 'Childhood Memories' a lot of us relished in sharing those memories but do not wish our children should experience them. We are not helping them, little wonder we have too many mummy's 'men about town' and ladies who will 'prepare eba with knorr cube'. 1 Like |

The role parents play in upbringing a child actually is a strong one BUT it depends on how they do it. Over - pampering a child is very bad, only if parents that does that would understand. |
