NACK AM, RUBBISH.... MAKE WE NO BLAME HER PARENTS BUT MAKE WE BLAME OTHER PARENTS. PARENTS WHEN SEND PIKIN TO UK BUT TO VISIT NA PROBLEM, IF THEM DE WITH THEIR CO-PARENTS NA TO DE BRAG, MY DAUGHTER IS IN THE UK....

Even some of those who came from a very strict family do turn wayward,some join cult in school and do all sorts of nonsense.

My mum will say it is only when you're in the womb you share the same life with your mother, immediately you're out,you have a different life.

All this started when they sent you abroad, well I didn't read the full story but I believe you should have done your best to come back home to them where you will get the necessary attention from them.

If at all you told them all this and they still insisted you stay back only then I'll believe they are bad parents.

In the 80's the society wasn't as bad as it is now, especially in the Nigerian society,the society plays a huge role in shaping us than our parent.

A 50-YEAR-OLD NIGERIAN WOMAN SHARES HER REGRETS ABOUT HER PARENTS SENDING HER ABROAD TO SCHOOL AS A TEENAGER.

I came to the UK in the 80s and went to Skinners school for girls in Stamford hill where I failed woefully. I come from a family where going abroad was like going to the market for us. I lived with my sister-in-law who I happened to have appeared to as a burden at the time. I had no one to take me out as a child, didn't enjoy McDonald's treats. I remember being bought KFC once by my mother's younger sister who was in the UK at the time. Most days I had to walk from Pembury estate, Hackney to Stamford hill because I had no transport fee. An uncle got me free school meals from the government so I always had lunch at school but other meals were not guaranteed...

No one ever asked me how I was doing in school even though I was a failure, never disclosed my report sheet because my results were always 'U- Unclassified' worse than F9. I lived at the expense of a few of my brother's friends who were ready to give me £5 in exchange for me seating on their laps whilst they used my nipples as a toy. On a few occasions, my immediate family would give me £5, £10 but NONE EVER TOOK ME ON AS HIS OR HER RESPONSIBILITY. One glorious day, a brother of mine took me on when he noticed that I have been associating with friends that were smoking and sexing at the age of 12 but due to malicious beating every day I had no choice other than to run away from his house. ....

I became streetwise, smoking heavily at the age of 11/12, and did my first abortion at the age of 14/15. I was unable to contact my mother because I had no access to the telephone moreover I didn't know how to use the phones then. I lived with a Jamaican friend who was a few years older than me and we had a man friend aged 50t who was impotent but would pay our rent whenever we allowed him to lick/suck us. Hhhhmmmm I'm sobbing as I'm writing this; I don't know why my spirit has led me to share this horrific and pathetic story but I am sure it is to bless someone out there so I am not ashamed of letting it out because someone outthere will think twice before making the mistake my family made.

I and friends began to find it easy to befriend men for money at night clubs (Gullivers, Petter Stringfellows, etc) at a very young age which I found disgusting, they molested my body orally. I can't even carry on expressing my bitter past experiences because I have learnt to see them as the strengths that made me who I am today...

The Koko of this post is this... Now in the UK, we see Nigerian children killing, shooting, stabbing, selling drugs, raping, etc and we wonder why they are ridiculing our darling country's name... Hhhhmmmm it is not the kids' fault it is the fault of the parents that weren't ready to prioritize their priorities.

I can't blame my mother and neither can I blame my father because they thought sending me abroad to school was the best for me. They also trusted my siblings and didn’t like to get involved in the way they were raising us. They believed when you give a goat to someone, you let go of the rope. They didn't know their darling daughter had become something else.....

You may be boosting that your child lives in London, America, etc but do you ever ask yourself how life is treating them where they are??

So many parents in Nigeria believe the field is greener on the other side forgetting that NO ONE CAN TRAIN YOUR KIDS THE WAY YOU CAN EXCEPT LOVING & GOD-FEARING PEOPLE.

In the UK so many Nigerian parents have misplaced their priorities, they rather work 24/7 and make all their monies to build mansions in Nigeria at the expense of their children's lives.

So many Nigerian parents in the UK don't even attend parents' evenings at their kid's school, some can't even help their kids with homework. Some believe their kids are at home and they are safe not knowing who is there with them. Some would rather spoil their kids with money & expensive outfits instead of investing quality time in them.

Sending your kids abroad to be looked after by someone else is a pure waste of time and bringing your kids from 9ja without giving them all the time needed is an irresponsible move and to be working all God-sent hours, making sterling, dollars, and euros, naira, etc without spending quality time with your kids is a disgrace to parenthood.

This is one of our bad irresponsible cultures even back home ….most children in Nigeria were brought up by housemaids/gatemen/next door/grandmothers/neighbors etc. Some Nigerians don't believe in family planning rather they will have so many children and start using them to hawk sweets, bread, etc after school...

Having a child is not by force, God did not say YOU MUST HAVE CHILDREN, YES HE STATED 'MULTIPLY' but he didn't mean we should do it to suffer for them. Having children does not mean you will live your life joyfully and it doesn't give you a place in heaven either, instead, your children may make you miss heaven if care is not taken.

I am a product of a neglected, nonchalant, cultural upbringing and I WILL NEVER WISH IT ON MY GREATEST ENEMY BECAUSE I HAD IT ROUGH AND IN SADNESS.

Let us stop being selfish and stop pushing our problems/burdens on others. Your child should be with you no matter how poor or rich you are and you must teach them in the ways of God.

Some parents in Nigeria, have children in Diaspora and know nothing about their life , only the fact that their child is abroad.

kaiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Tell that to chibok boys and girls.

Immediately I saw that failed woefully in the first paragraph I stopped reading. Some people are born to be a failure. If u like take them to heaven, they will still fail.

This has been the fate of many Nigerians. I have a friend who was sent to US as a child. She was kept locked in the house to care for children. She was never sent to any school. She was also abused by different hands. She is not stupid, but a lack of education and trauma can keep you bound. She is not handicap, but she really is not an independent thinker. She has been told what to do all her life and it has had an impact. Slavery is not just by chains, but by controlling the mind. Any parent who sends their child abroad without being there, should think twice.

cunny88:
She had a golden opportunity to skul abroad which millions of Nigerian are looking for, she misused it and is looking for an opportunity to apportion blame, ppl like me attended public skuls from primary to university level with very minimal supervision, cos our parents were poor, yet we manage to kip our heads above d water. She is the master or her fate and architect of her misfortune.

Learn from this. Just relax and learn.

OP , this is rubbish!! There are people who went to the UK and made a name for themselves, some even came back to spread the good news.

Dont use failures and drop outs to project your hatred for the japa crew.

I usually don’t recommend sending any child to live abroad alone less than for masters degree if not what you sent is not what you get eventually

Train your own kids yourself

I am not surprised..

Are you done?

You want Nigerians to stay. But you don't want good government. Irony

This real, I see it happening to children as I am typing this.

So you even believed her.
The story is a fiction.

that doesn't change the fact that she misused a golden opportunity to study abroad, get good grades and live a better life

Make una dey read to understand

It's obvious you don't understand what this post us about, so it's better you just save yourself from further exposure of your ignorance by refraining from typing further to expose these ignorance.

There’s no need to argue with you. You’ll soon japa and you will become a believer. The people will never tell you what is going. You need to come here and you’ll understand. And when you do, you’ll also hide it from the next people coming. It’s a vicious cycle.

Racoon:
I still say it, your home country is still your home country.Even if you go abroad, you will still come back home. I have good chances but taking my time first.

I will blame the parents for not carrying out their responsibility. Why would you send a young girl of that age abroad.

FrancescoFarino:
If there's one thing you should be thanking God for, is the fact that you had the privilege to study abroad including your exposure over the years..

Did you read the post to see the kind of exposure she got?

People travel abroad and get killed. Do you think their parents are happy they traveled abroad or it would have been better they remained in Nigeria?

Most of these people na gist them dey hear. They think the movies they watch applies to real life. And everyone is living a rosy fun life.

Sure this is not kemi olunoyo?

Unfortunately, most parents are quity of all she highlighted. Parenting has been neglected to the backgrounds and due diligence has been given to accumulation of wealth. It is high time government beam light in that segment otherwise the next generation is doom.

If u tell Nigerians that at the end of the day Japa might turn out to be a negative.

They will say u don’t want them to progress.

However to each his own

Mmmm... This story isn't surprising or new, i grew up inbetween Hackney, Leyton and walthamstow in the early 90s, the difference was that my parents were always there, they were not rich but they didn't work, work and work 247, unlike some African parents, African parents just work and work and when they are not at work ussually on sundays (that is after they have gone to an early morning cleaning job) they go to church to show off to their fellow workaholics naigerian parents how much they earn.. (After church they go for an evening cleaning job again) Alota of African kids ended up in cares and foster homes, molested, abused sexually but for naigerian parents or african parents work and money are more important than their kids.. I was in a gang, smoking weed and shopplifting when i was growing up but luckily for me my parents were around and very stricked too. Alota things went on, drug runnings, teenage pregancies, single baby mothers were rampant. Kids without fathers either unknown or known fathers.


You can report all these things that happens to you now to the authorities they will be investigated and people prosecuted, just like the case of abused white children in care by pakista...ni men, these kinda stories are not new.
