RE: We are raised too hard as Nigerian men: Parents are distant and rule with fear
Honestly, I've witnessed some Nigerian homes in which the father creates a rift between himself and his kids. In such situations, the children literally revere their father and worship the ground on which their father thread not for the sake of respect but out of fear. In most cases, this children are often mute in the presence of their father, but outspoken when they're alone with their mother.
My advice to the Nigerian dad is, give your children a chance to be part of the family, they're a part of you. There's every tendency that this trend will continue until one father in the lineage acts differently
Exactly, Some fathers believe the headship of the house is only done through fear instilled in the child. Okay, obedience and moderate discipline is better but not doing it in a way to create a slow and mute child
