Nigerian Parents and Discipline

When you have a Nigeria parent, you never outgrow beating. I was walking down the street today and I heard a woman telling her grown up daughter that the fact that you are betrothed to someone does not mean that I cannot beat you, even if it is a day to your wedding, I can still beat you if you offend.

I was just thinking that ,is it not time Nigerian parents get to know that children grow and at a point in their lives, the beating process should stop at least there are different measures to correct a child with rather than beating the child.

If the beating was even done in the closet it would have been a little bit better, but some Nigerian parents believe that if they beat you publicly, then it makes them good and disciplined parents and you cannot just help but wonder why they will look disciplined for beating you publicly.

The story goes on and on, but I feel this approach is not right at all, other means should be devised to correct children rather than beating them and the big problem is even more in their refusal to accept change and that leaves them adamant and stiff necked about what they want to do.
