WHO IS CONSIDERED A CHILD IN MY COUNTRY?

The National Child Welfare Policy of 1989 defines a child as anybody who is 12 years or below. However, a draft decree put into law has now set the age of the child in Nigeria as 18 years or below.link


Therefore, In Nigeria, a child is anyone who is 18years or below.

WHO IS CONSIDERED AN ADULT IN MY COUNTRY?

Adulthood or the age of consent in Nigeria is reached upon the attainment of age eighteen yearslink. So a person who is eighteen years and above in Nigeria is an adult.


CHILDHOOD OR ADULTHOOD, WHICH DO YOU PREFER?

Hmm, it was my dream when I was much younger to grow up fast, finish my education and leave my parents house but ever since I became independent, I have always wished I still enjoy the luxury of being a child. I prefer my childhood to adulthood.


SOME REASONS WHY I PREFER CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD

I prefer my childhood to adulthood for the following reasons

ZERO RESPONSIBILITY:As a child, all I did was have my bathe, eat, play with my friends, go to the school, come home, do my assignment, play and sleep. I could dress the way I like, I never felt the burden of any responsibility such as paying my school fee, stocking the house, clothing and other needs.

PROTECTION: I never felt for once the need to look over my shoulder, I felt secure under the protection of my parents. I remember back then I would boast among my peers that if I was bullied by anyone, my father would arrest such bully.

TIME: I had a lot of time for myself when I was a child, I could sleep all day , I could play all day, it felt like I had all the time in the world.

FAMILY GET TOGETHER: I had wonderful siblings, we always had fun, especially at festivals, we would organize ourselves and decorate the house, then we would invite our mother to tell us fairy-tales.


CONCLUSION

I will always cherish my childhood days, the memories of my childhood were lovely and filled with fun, these are some of the reasons why I prefer my childhood to adulthood.

I do not have my childhood picture but here is a picture of my adulthood.

It is true that childhood were fun and with good memories. But the reality is that we can't go back to childhood.
I can see that you prefer childhood to adulthood because in childhood, you had no responsibility, you had protection and enough time to play.
Thank you for taking part in the engagement challenge.

You have presented this contest topic in very simple and great way. Many people like childhood because children don't shoulder responsibility. Thank you for inviting me for this contest.

Kind regards!
