Serial Ranter
Warning... It's a long one!!!
Dear parents, you have turned your kids into modern-day cyber and holy zombies.
A child is born into a religious home and immediately placed on a rigorous school calendar that sees such a child leave the house as early as 7am.
The child wakes up earlier than usual to observe morning devotion and then stays back in school for a compulsory lesson only to close by 5pm.
Sometimes you see a child in their uniform as late as 7 or 8pm, such a child left their house as early as 7am!
To learn what?
This activity goes on 5 days a week, round the clock and weekends are worse, homework from all the subjects to engage them with more averageness from their average minded teachers.
You forget to play with your kids,
You are always so serious like the teachers they abhor and fear.
You think fear is respect?
We don't love who we fear.
We hate who we fear.
Because we hate fear.
You never smile and play once in a while, you are always so militaristic and stern with your kids.
A parent will have koboko or long cane at home, for their children!!!
You keep telling yourself you don't want them to spoil, meanwhile, they are getting rotting under your obnoxious, evil and outdated parenting style.
If you catch them playing outside, they are done for.
And you think it's a good thing?
Yet, do you know what these parents will never forget, morning devotion and Midnight prayer sessions?
Meanwhile, the kids whose lives have been placed under close scrutiny and very high biblical standards, have the lowest morals ever.
The more biblical the home, the more diabolical the kids
Why?
Because these kids see the real you behind the shell, and nature has programmed them to be rebellious.
Those kids forced to the gates of heaven against their will are the ones that prefer and love the wide road that leads to hell, more.
Holidays are not for summer lessons and formal learning only.
They are for the kids to travel and see the world, mix with other cultures, people, traditions, art and craft.
Watch movies, cartoons!!!
Embrace artificial intelligence, IoT, learn coding, get empowered with a new skill, learn ballet, fashion designing, painting, martial arts, etc.
Oh, the list is endless this 21st century.
Technology has made it so.
And most importantly, get to know you, their parents more.
It is a time to spend time with your children and know them close enough, Goddammit!!!
But religion will have you believe that you need to pray for a random stranger to bless you with 1 million naira to pay their school and lesson fees, than think or raise a child that can create an app and sell to schools, making payment of school fees and buying textbooks online and on the go after she/he must have seen such on Nickelodeon or google!!!
You think giving your child a headstart in an average classroom by forcing such a child to attend all the lessons in the world when he/she should be enjoying their break, is an achievement?
The average Nigerian parents are so invested in suffocating their kids with what is taught inside the classroom, paying little or no attention to what is lived outside.
This is why when these kids grow up, their brain cannot process anything beyond have you eaten, when will you marry this year or next year, how many children will you have and are you a Christian or a Muslim?
This is the only reality they know!
Smart parents are taking advantage to raise smart kids in this technological era.
Stupid parents are raising very good bad Christians.
You are so strict and rigid, your kids can't open up to you and tell you things
The neighbor touches them and slaps their buttocks, but they can't tell you
Because when they came tenth in class you almost killed them
When they misplace money or break plate, you skin them alive
When they play with their friends and get injured, you beat them
So when they get raped, how can they tell you?
When they are harassed sexually by their teachers and lecturers, how can they come to you?
All you know is prayer and morning devotion.
Robots that chew Bible because the pastor asked them to, drink bleach or go naked so the prophet can bathe them properly.
At 18 you are not expected to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, the average Nigerian parents believe their teenage kids must not date at 17, 18 but face their studies and God.
I laugh
So jamb finally gives them an escape route to universities.
Whereas soon as they enter, they realize all the fuss was for nothing.
University is only a sham and a pathetic hole where lecturers want to sleep with them for grades and their computer science department doesn't have any computers.
Soon they realize the only usefulness of the so-called university is the escape from prison it affords them.
Their minds are no more first-class, it is now third world.
So everything for us has one solution.
God's will!
''Na wa, we go get job so?''
''If it's God's will''
''That child is sick I hope he doesn't die...if it's God's will he will survive''
''Men, I just hope I pass jamb and WAEC this year, but sha if it's God's will.''
''I want to travel out''
''Why?''
''Because Nigeria is fucked''
''Where you wan see money from?''
''I don't know but I must leave this Country..''
''Well..if it's God's will''
''I don't like my nose, I feel like it's too big how I wish I had money, I'd do surgery''
''God forbid, God made you in his image.''
So God has a big nose?
''I'm so dark, I wish I was fair
So you want to join them, you want to ruin God's perfect plan''
''My husband is a cheat, he slept with my best friend and my colleague, I don't know what to do.''
''Leave it to God''
''I wish I can fly, so I'll just fly and land in America.''
''Are you, God, only God can fly.''
With this sort of mentality, how can one have a progressive conversation and achieve result with the average Nigerian?
When the minds of the people have been brainwashed, they can't have an engaging and sustainable dialogue if it doesn't border on sex, money and online begging.
The problem is the foundation!
From the beginning, they have been conditioned to be the third world and programmed to be average.
Once you chat with them you will know.
Once you see their posts and comments, begging for subscription online and begging angles(not angels) to locate them on Rant, you will know.
Responding with k's and OK's and not initiating or contributing smartly to positive dialogue, you will know.
Why think average when you can think extraordinary!
God's will is the enemy of Goodwill.
But sha, if it's God's will, e go better.
