MisterRuk:
I can't say for the whole Africa, but for Nigeria our parenting system is "toxic". Unless you retrain yourself mainstream parenting system in Nigeria creates two types of people: Jagudas and simps. In the Asian and Western world older generations see youngsters as potentials, as seeds to fertilized to bring forth fruits and carry on a legacy. In many Nigerian homes young ones are seen as nothing but tools. Many of us don't teach our young ones good values but when they commit a flaw we are quick to rain beating upon them.

If you think training a child in the "Africa way" is ideal, shebi the family is the core of every society ? Look around you, the characters of many millenials and gen Z in today's Nigeria, you will realize that there have been a lot of flaws in raising children over the past years.

Again these guys outside have a strong family system where family values are shared, both nuclear and extended. It's sad to say that in Nigeria our traditional family system is breaking apart, there is so much envy, segregation, fear and distrust among family members ( fear of village people is a subtle sign of that). In many African homes there are no family values, you just need someone to fear in order to behave.

That system never worked for Africa period. This is why I can’t take the black/African way seriously. Why would you raise your child in an environment that doesn’t even have basic amenities like constant power, good roads and adequate infrastructure.

Just a remark you know that there are kids raised in Nigeria that beat up their parents? Also in UK the Asian youngsters are one of the most deviants. Drugs sex ring etc.

It is complex and not so easy it is neither here nor there.

False Blacks in the UK commit far more crime. Blacks are 40% of the prison population.
