BEHOLD, CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM THE LORD.

I have observed that, Nigerian parents do not directly express love to their children. How many homes do we find our mum and dad saying, "I love you" to their children, or hugging their children, or holding them. Especially when these children have gotten to a certain age.

Most Nigerian adults feel that they have to act unfriendly to children,to earn respect from them. This is not true. You can treat each child you see with respect, and get respect in turn. Respect is reciprocal.

We have to show love to our children, do not think they are clueless, unimportant things you can yell at,at your pleasure, and talk to only when we want someone to go for an errand.
Try to ask how they feel about some things concerning them, ask for their opinion before making a decision that affects them,buy them nice things once in a while, do not speak rudely to them, they have feelings too.

Get to converse with them daily. Know what they like or dislike, let them tell you about their fears, about the challenges they face daily, advise them, as you would your friends, be patient with them.
Make them understand that you love them, say it, say "goodnight" to them, refer to them with endearment, like 'honey', 'sweetie', 'sugar', 'darling'. There are parents who do. It is quite commendable. Also, we should tell our children secrets of life, some principles of life, how they should behave, and what they should not do and why, plus educate them about their sexuality, this is most salient. Do not leave it out for their school teachers, play your part.

For the smaller ones, be patient with them also, give them the attention they seek, do not over pamper them. Be firm, so as not to 'spoil' them.

Pray to God to help you deal rightly with all children. Some people are skilled in it, while others, need help.

Children, are gifts from God. God has given them to us, to help him mold them into adults, who are fit and proper people for both the society, themselves and eternity.

Our celebration would have been full, if our girls were back already. Our hearts go out to their parents. May God grant them strength and peace.

DO NOT BE GUITY OF FAILED PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY!

It is not a waste of money to take your children through standard schools, especially primary and secondary school. Their ways of reasoning and speaking, are mainly affected by their interaction and training in these periods of their lives. It is not a bad idea for your child to attend boarding schools also, especially those schools that have high level of discipline and care. Boarding school makes them to have stronger personalities, to be independent-decision-makers. And give them focus, and a sense of purpose. It has it disadvantages also, which might be that the child may join bad companies. However the chance of a well trained Godly child to escape from bad company, is high. I didn't consider it. Being bullied may be another disadvantage, but this one could act to make the child stronger and to device means to overcome the act of being bullied. The burden to inculcate good virtues, beliefs and values into them, is solely on the parents. Which should be done daily and inten...

CALM DOWN,BAD SITUATIONS DO CHANGE! PATIENTLY WAIT FOR IT.

30 days and counting we ceased to have electricity in our city, this is Africa, this situation isn't strange. Then, I had read in the news where the Electrical Engineers stated that it may last this long. I had to stay in this state of black-out for that long. Few days ago, thankfully it was on a weekend, our precious electricity was restored, the room, the kitchen, everywhere lited up. All my mind kept telling me was, I survived, wow, I survived. Yea, truly I'd survived. During those period of darkness, I had to take my few essential electrically rechargeables to charge at work, then, I would plug my power bank at my landlord's house in the night time till 11pm, after using it to recharge my phone, the phone which I had succeeded in 'browsing' away its battery. The life without electricity was a little bit tiring at the beginning, but overtime, I got accustomed to it, it became a routine. I smoothly glided through like a new way of life. Then I was lying pea...
