lol, very true talk. no. 24. we always had soft drinks in the fridge but you dare not touch them cause according to mum "the bottles are counted" and if one should get missing we (the kids) are all gonna smell our a.ss, guilty or not, until we provide who drank it. |

My parents didn't pressurize me over my grades though . . . they were actually telling me to limit my reading so I wouldn't run mad. Also, we've been fighting since forever because I never hesitate to counter their superstitions. 1 Like |

And these are the rules that brought us up as good decent respectful and respectable adults. I don't regret going through any one of them #proudlyafrican |

hahn: It isn't the rules that are the problem. It's our environment and circumstances. I am yet to see an African who was brought up with these rules and didn't become a respectable and well adjusted member of Western society when they finally make it there.(p.s I am not referring to those who hug aeroplane tyres and make it there deliberately to engage in shady practices) Same cannot be said of those of us raised up there from onset with Western upbringing. |

5minsmadness: Our rules are the basis of the outcome of our infrastructure. The rules that we have is what has given birth to what we see in our environment just as the rules abroad aiding them in building a far better society than our. Don't you find it ironic that developed countries which seemingly lack "training" have been able to build a better society that those with "training". You have to agree that most of what we are taught or how we are raised actually aid in limiting our mental capabilities. An average African is not reliable despite being "well trained". Consider African timing, schedule a meeting with an average Nigerian at 9am and don't be surprised to see the person by 12pm. We lack discipline, throw out pure water sachets on the streets, our leaders embezzle all our money, civil servants resume to work whenever they like, policemen don't know their jobs, NOTHING works. Now, why is that? But yet you can comfortably make reference to how whenever we leave here to more organised societies we are able to thrive even though most corporate organisations would rather pay way more to hire an "expatriate" in our own country while our "well trained" brothers and sisters earn N18,000 minimum wage 2 Likes 2 Shares |

hahn: I still say the general home upbringing is alright. It's our lack of proper education that is the problem. A lot of people in this country go to school but are not really educated. Or maybe they are educated but not enlightened. You see them go through our schooling system and they come out the dumber for it. Crammers who cannot apply thier knowledge. Graduate security guards who are not happy with thier jobs. Doctors that wish they were engineers, engineers that wish they were artistes. I see where you are coming from though. It is indeed sad. |
