Africa is gradually loosing her cultural values that were left behind by her ancestors due to the emergence of social media and our brothers in diaspora have brought western values and it has brough us shame, pain and catastrophe. The discipline inflicted in children of nowadays is very minimal. Society should expect more of what happened at Bowen college Lekki. And again, never blame North Korea for placing a strong restriction on South Korean cultures cos our embrace of western values brought this catastrophe upon us. Shalom my brethren.

U didn't add, father getting home and you are met in the living room.

And being asked a question you're supposed to know and u don't know it.

When NTA shows a smart kid and ur father is comparing the child to you and just feels like making u as smart as the child at that instant by beating you

Another thing was, there was always one uncle in the street that was dedicated to beating stubborn children in the area.
Hey, go and call Kola for me, and when u hear Bro Kola is coming, u start peeing on your body. And no matter how badly you were beaten, its just to eat, bath and sleep. Small children no dey fall sick or die from any form of beating then

I tell you my brother. Reason I want all of us to be advocate for boko haram. I wonder why people castigated them since they're all fighting to preserve our culture, undiluted from western influences. It's time you pick up arms and fight for the jihad. Say no to western education, no to western technology and religions.

Pinkzebra:
But we were abused in all of these just because we are kids and we do not have true relationship with our parents .
We felt humiliated, we hated our parents. This unnecessary beating is responsible for the high rate.of dysfunctional adults we have . We carry this burden of guilt and not knowing how to love truly or maintain healthy relationship with people .

Today I discipline my kids and do not beat them for every 'error' I mostly admonish and it works and we have close relationship. We the millennials guide and discipline in understanding while still maintaining good relationship with our kids .

Our parents do not seek to understand they themselves are broken so they try to fix their own brokenness by breaking us even. The cycle continues , but a new breed of parents are cropping up. But we must create a balance for we can break a child when scolding and discipline is absent for "allowing " a child to do whatever all in a bid to show love and understanding is dangerous in itself.

King44:
Check the generation of those that we're brought up that way of discipline a large percentage of them are doing well in life especially those who got educated.

These days they call it child abuse.

Although, some of that discipline was not necessary somehow it has shaped a lot of people's character to be who they are today

As for me, it's certain that I would use the rod when needed and implore the modern style when needed a bit of both won't kill. My siblings that were brought up that way are doing great and I am also on track although it's not easy if I were handled with kids' gloves then by now I now my case would have been worse. The discipline helps a lot.

realestate99:
I once asked myself, with all the iron hand we were tortured with during our child hood, how come we have a dysfunctional society?

Beating does not instill discipline on its own, it has to be aided by other methods, when you beat a kid for every inadequacies, he gets used to it and sometimes he will intentional err if he knows the enjoyment he will get from the punishable act is greater than the punishment itself.

There was a day I ran away from house. I forgot to do the assignments my dad gave me before he went out in the morning, I went out to play street football for almost 6 hours, I was exhausted, my battery was on red, I wanted to rush the assignment when my dad came, he asked for the answers but I was stuttering.

He was unleashing his belt from his trouser's belt hole , I was afraid that day because my body can't take any beating that moment, then suddenly he told me to go outside and bring a big stone so that I can carry it as punishment after I will get my beating.

when I reached outside, a divine thought came to my mind, flee!!! your body can't take the impending punishment. And truthfully I might not survive the beating that day, I dropped the stone and ran , I stopped after I reached another neighborhood, I was there till 8pm, then I remember the rampant cases of kidnappers, I decided to trek back home . When I was some metres to my house , the neighbors were already looking for me, I could hear my mum's cries, I just had to show myself because I couldn't bear to hear her cries any further.

The neighbors were happy I came back, an elderly man told my father not to beat me again that night, one neighbor even took me in for the night because he saw the anger brewing on my dad's face.

After 23 years, I told my dad that if I had been punished that day, He might not have someone to call his only son.........we both laughed over it.
