Rapper M.I Laments Effect Of Bad Parenting On Nigerian Society

Nigeria rapper, Jude Abaga aka M.I, has lamented the rising level of bad parenting and how it has continued to affect our society.

MI in his recent tweet on Tuesday stated that a person’s response to life situations is usually a product of the person’s upbringing and the type of parenting they received.

“You can survive bad parenting but it will impact your life. Look at how we treat each other online, and how we interface with differing perspectives. We’re raised by a generation that flogged us to listen rather than take time to clarify. So we insult rather than patiently discuss.”

He wrote this while responding to a Fan’s comment to an earlier post he shared on his Twitter page where he wrote,

“The big joke is this … who we are today and what our society is today is as a result of the parenting we actually received. Maybe the beating, abuse, kicking, name-calling, religious rituals, strictness and presence of holiness actually doesn’t work.

“My new code: discipline, focus, hard work, reading, and data-driven analysis and rigorous skepticism of beliefs.”

A fan while reacting criticised the post and questioned his upbringing.

In response, MI wrote, “My parents never picked religion over care. The flogging was sparse and didn’t always happen even though I was a stubborn child, and my father always spoke to us before and after he flogged us. He would even apologise when he disciplined in anger. They weren’t the norm.”
