Blackmiserable: As long as you are an adult who can cater for himself, you can take your own decisions. But the Truth also is that you should be Prepared to bear the Consequences if any Arises.. If your Mind is Made up and you are sure that is what u want, Respectfully tell dad that this is your desire and what you have decided to do 1 Like |

This is a very serious issue ..but all I will say is . Wisdom is needed!!!.. You don't cling too much on your parents advise.. Also learn to take steps in your own hand . What if they are both dead.. won't you move on. Of course you will.. .. So learn to take actions yourself too... Don't just be a mummy & Daddy's (boy / girl).. Everything in life is a risk!!.. but you can make them know about your plans etc.. and if you wanna surprise them with results too..the ball is in your court Be wise..life is a game, you risk everything in life . You need your parents.. don't be rude to them.. And also.. be wise yourself.. 3 Likes 1 Share |

The Bible says obey your father and mother so ye shall live long. What if you're father is telling you to do something you know is very wrong Will you obey him or disobey him? Redirect the question should you obey an irresponsible and failed government like Buhari's? |

Honour your parents always does not mean that you can't make them change their minds or decisions. In all things but evil, you are to obey them by giving them the honor they deserve |

overseer1: So you just rushed and concluded that it's all about a woman. The truth is that most parents still think that things still work as it use to back when they were growing up. They think education and federal government job is the best thing that can happen to someone. What percentage of civil servants that didn't embezzel money or had a side hustle built a good house without using their gratuity. How many civil servants can handle an emergency like sickness and still pay house rent or school fees without breaking the bank. Worst of all they think getting a federal job is easy once they know someone in one not so big position in a govt agency and you will see them complaining that the person doesn't want to help their son while the person in question is even having difficulty getting the same job for his/her own son. I know a PhD holder in my street that is yet to get a good paying job. Some parents are really ignorant and it's left for the child that is more current with happenings to decide when to take a good advice and when to put aside the misguided bad ones they give 6 Likes 1 Share |

Let me start by appreciating the OP for bringing this topic. In all honesty, some parents advices don't deserve second taught before you say No, I am having similar problem right now which is affecting my career bitterly and my personal self.. There is nothing bad in parents giving advice to their children but they should allow them to use their own initiatives as well to develop themselves, had it been our parents advices are worth entertaining, then there is no reason for the backward society we are living in... There is a cousin of mine whom is Mum gave birth to five children and each with different father and the same woman is trying to give me advice on how I will manage my matrimonial home... Can't you see something is missing 1 Like |

Re: Should You Obey Ignorant Parents?? by Nobody: 2:17am On May 09, 2020 |
I can only obey you if what you say I should do is right in its own way. But I cannot live my life according to how you want it to be this is what parents fail to understand they set up their miserable plans for their children and push it to them without asking what is your opinion. Sometimes I actually understand my father's death was maybe for the good of me or else I would have been in one useless private university studying a useless course like medicine or architecture. 1 Like |

Friend22:Judging by the use of grammar in this sentence we already know where to put you. Read about Franz Kafka please (I hope you can understand simple English) and tell me if his father meant good for him, his mother was stupid too to stand by and let the rubbish happen to the poor boy. |

Re: Should You Obey Ignorant Parents?? by Reference(m): 3:54am On May 09, 2020 |
gbebodye: Right. So the education instead of the farming is your definition of success. But look around you right now. At the moment the only industry working round the world is agriculture. They were never locked down anywhere because they are essential. Your definition of success in this case is comparative. That is it has taken one brother and compared his state to the other brothers. This is a very limited perspective. Life is much wider than this and the definition of success much deeper. Not saying he could have been any diffetent if he stayed, but there is every possibilitu he could also have been morw successful today if he did. There is a secret in knowing this and charting courses. |

SultanOfAbia: Mr. Poster. There are no ignorant parents in this world except a bastard who feels he knows better than his parents. If you were allow to grow by yourself without your parents, you would become a greater bastard. Remember, they shall forever be wiser than you. You believing you know more than them is just an illusion. If you are a already a bastard, then you are not to blame. But if at all you look at men and women today good, you would see that the parents are behind that development since when they were 0 years old till their current age. |

Re: Should You Obey Ignorant Parents?? by TruthDefender(m): 4:39am On May 09, 2020 |
NO ! Our parents are not ignorant. Bad word to use to describe parents who went through thick and thin, deprived themselves to raise us. We will also be parents someday and i'm sure no one wants their own kids to describe them as ignorant,as the world keeps evolving. Those of you who think you know it all, imagine 40 years down the road when you will be old and your children who have newer ideas would use same ignorant verbiage on you. Be careful ! Our parents give advice within the ambit of what they know. They mean no harm but are not perfect. Mistakes will be made but most of them give advice from a place of love. In Nigeria, we place all emphasis on material wealth. And if one's parents are not wealthy,then they are automatically ignorant. Do you think Dangeote or other billionaire parents would be described as ignorant by their kids I think not.. 2 Likes |

Slawormir:Yes... Our parents meant well for us, but in most cased, ignorance can make them mislead us. |
Re: Should You Obey Ignorant Parents?? by gentlegenius(m): 5:41am On May 09, 2020 |
SultanOfAbia:Our parents are the first people to program our minds right from infancy. Though, they meant well for us, ignorance can sometimes make them to program us wrongly. This is why CHANGE is a the greatest requisite for SUCCESS. You can't have the same mindset of your parents and succeed more than them. Every child that want to succeed must CHANGE along with the modern world, and such change start by rejecting all or some of your parent's old fashioned advise. But don't do this with disrespect. Explain to them why their advice is no longer valid in today's world. "GO TO SCHOOL, STUDY HARD, GET A DEGREE... GET A JOB... SO THAT YOU'LL SUCCEED" The statement above is one of the worst advise any parents should give their children today. Some parents will even suggest what their children should study in school. In most cases, they only suggest a course that will make them proud; not the one that will make you succeed. I pity those that still obey this advise in this 21st century. |
