Should African Parents set an age limit to disciplining their wards? Nigerians react 👇
Discipline comes in various forms for an average African parents especially when it comes to correct the wrongs of their wards.
Some African parents believes in the doctrine of “spare the rod and spoil the child” irrespective of the age of the child and this belief is deeply rooted in bible. Others do not go the extra mile to beat their children when they offend, they rather purnish them by denying them their basic allowance or some other things they cherish.

On the back of a video circulating on social media about a father who beat her her 18 year old daughter for joining a whatsapp group he warned her against, Nigerians are divided as regards whether what the father did to her is right or wrong.
See reactions 👇
She’s 18 is an agenda of the Occidental culture. Nigeria is another realm entirely. Our culture will not overlook some things at 18.
The earlier you know this, the better for you.👌

You condemned a father for not beating his 21 years old boy who didn’t sit for exam after paying $21k.
You are also condemning a father flogging his daughter because she’s 18.
For African parents, discipling you is not age bound. The nature might change as you age.

She's 18. Fine.
She messed up. Fine.
You cane her. Fine.
Why must you make a video and upload on twitter?— JAG II, Esq. (@jagganiyu) July 19, 2020
You’re beating a child that’s 18 years old which means you’ve been beating that child since she was a kid. And now she’s 18 and she still doesn’t listen to you. That’s a failed parent

I can imagine what the children in that family pass through. The pain, the hatred built against the father, the deep curse by the children on the father. It's okay to correct a child not a total brutality. Dis fada can rape! hysterical.

This is really upsetting to watch.
Beating a child in Africa has always been a part of parenting, and sure in alot of cases its productive and sometimes very necessary.
But parents need to understand when to stop. She's 18, she's not a child and she's capable of reasoning— Dunni!¡ ♨️ (@Ayomeedai) July 18, 2020
Her father? Why do parents do this nonsense? That is a human being ffs. Why bring kids to the world when you’re intent on killing them through rough upbringing.
