Chyke | 7/19/2012 11:25:55 PM | Talent of acting, singing and rapping for you alone? My brother, one cannot be a jack of all trade. Maybe you will be very good in acting so stick to it. On the topic at hand: Desmond's deserved more than that, mere looking at him will tell you he was a crafty child. But wait a minute, his wife has two sets of twins? Desmond how big is your thing and how many times do you wire in one night?

what | 7/19/2012 3:08:59 PM | sometimes kids needs spanking and americanas do spank their kids so does that also mean they r primitive?

Quebe NJ | 7/19/2012 3:23:25 PM | I think most Nigerians believe in whipping and spanking. I'm not sure about how young though . . .I just know I was whipped a lot as a kid. I'm probably better for it though. I think it's because of that that we always behaved so well in public. These days you see little kids have giant fits in the store and displaying all sorts of unbecoming behavior. My sister and I just look at each other and think that kids needs to be spanked. And my mom also doesn't mind embarrassing us in public if we do something wrong. . .so we behave better for that as well. I don't think of it as something bad at all, more like necessary for some kids. . .maybe all? I know when my kids start acting up, they will probably get it as well.

Florence | 7/19/2012 3:42:48 PM | Have all of you thought about this deeply? If hitting or beating a child is a good form of discipline, how come Nigeria is still one of the most corrupt countries in the world?
No wonder men hit or beat their spouse and children gets violent at school

sexy Kojo | 7/19/2012 4:10:50 PM | Let me tell you, When I smack my kids, I use my hands and no stick. Like some one said, you need to know when to use it or else it becomes ineffective. Besides smacking is allowed in canada as long as you don't "abuse" the child.

You have to understand that kids differ, I when you have gentle and compliant kids, words are generally enough with a smack few times.
But when you have kids that know how to be naughty and pigheaded, you better tie your pants well or they will sell the roof overyour head later in life.

By 1 year old, you generally have an idea if you have a strong willed child, a strong willed child is different from a spoilt child. And you need Gods grace to help you with a strong willed child.

Let me give you another example, I took my kids shopping over the weekend, and it was cold. At a point in time, one said he does not want his jumper and he kept screaming 'no , mummy no' in the car park. I decided to let him be. For the last 2 days, he has developed flu. This is a 2.5 year old and he is already throwing silly tantrums. If you have compliant kids, lucky you but some of us are not so lucky.

If he was in Nigeria, will he have the audacity to be shouting no in a public place, they would have re -inforced the home training further in daycare. But here, you re-train your kids everyday they get back from daycare, because they copy all sort of things from oyinbo kids.

It was in day care my son learnt " I dont want it mummy" . Before he started, it was yes mummy or ok mummy.

Anyway, each one to his own - I rest my case
