MRS DEE'S CORNER
EDUCATING A CHILD WHO COMES OF AGE


Stella's blog has been a lifesaver. Before I had my first babies,  I had already  learned the importance of teaching little children  about their private parts and that it shouldn't be touched by anyone.  Immediately they were old enough to understand me I swung into action. Each morning when it's time to take their bath, I'll always tell them not to allow anybody touch their "bumbum". 


It soon became a ritual that even before I start with the line of "anybody that wants to touch your bumbum" they'll quickly cut in with "tell the person no, anybody  don't touch it" I made  them promise me to report to their aunty in the school and me when they get home if anyone tries to touch them there.  


One day,  while I was bathing the second girl at night, when it was time to wash her bumbum she said "mummy h***** touched my bumbum in the  school".  I asked her again to make sure  I heard her correctly and she repeated the same thing.  After taking  her  bath I checked her and I noticed nothing was amiss.  


The next day in school,  I inquired from the teacher who the said boy was and she pointed him out.  On asking the boy if he did any of such,  he denied. I warned him never to try such with my daughter again or I'll be forced to beat him.  The teacher  warned him too and that was the end of it. 


In a number of years,  these children will be old enough to be taught in details about sexuality and their bodies.   As a Christian, I know God's stand on fornication but I am faced with the dilemma of teaching them not to have sex until  they are married or teaching them about  s#x, the dangers of unprotected sex,the preventive measures like condoms and pills and the consequences of pregnancy outside marriage.  


Wouldn't it be hypocrisy if I say don't have s#x as it contravenes God's word and still go ahead to teach them about ways to avoid stds, unwanted pregnancy, HIV and AIDS or just say don't  have s#x and they  may  experiment and make grave mistakes? 


*Tough honestly!

This article is worth sharing It was posted by Shirley on Spontaneous post on Wednesday.....

All men including women are advised to read this message as it concerns both.

Our women may tell you that it is not true but I can assure you that 90% of our women are guilty of this story.
.
In these few years I have spent on this terrestrial divide, I have seen how life treats men, especially in their old ages.

I have seen men work, labour, sweat throughout their youthful lives on their wives and children and I have also seen how they end up.

My brother, as you are working hard to train your children and to make your wife proud, don't forget to have something for yourself for your old age.

May you not be begging your children to eat in your old age. Remember, women can be jumping from one son's house to another daughter's house. Not so for men.

Can I tell you the truth? You are a stranger in that family you call yours today. That house you struggled to build is not yours. Its for your wife and the children.

A friend sent me a story recently. Let me quote him here: "My grandfather told me that a married man is like a tractor that builds a road, does it very nicely but when the road is completed, they bring a low loader and carry the tractor away, claiming it will spoil the road! That tractor is never allowed to step on the road it built!

"Same is the case of we married men. We deny ourselves, get loans, wear used clothes, etc to see our children through high schools, universities etc because we believe that the only gift we can give them is quality education.

When they are old enough, the fathers often become dispensable. The attention of the children shift to their mothers. May be these mothers poison their minds against their fathers, who knows?

You hear a typical mother use languages like .."If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have gone to school". "I sold all my gold, trinkets, wrappers to send you to school".
"Your father was only interested in alcohol and women while I suffered to pay your fees!"

(Now the tractor that built the road is being carried away!)

"Once the child starts working, father could have retired. When he come visiting his parents, the poor father is given N5k in front of the mother, while the mother pulls him to the kitchen to collect 50 times what father got... and the father doesn't know what mother got!

"Once the child drives off, the father is told to bring money from his pittance to buy this and that, buy sugar to prepare Lipton unless he wants to drink sugarless tea! These are some of the reasons men die early!

"A mother flies abroad to visit her children or go do Omugor while the father sits at home, buying and eating bread and ewa agonyin every morning!

After six months abroad, she returns home fresh to meet father licking palm oil in ewa agonyin!"

Old age could be very lonely and agonising for men who did not plan for it. May you not become a liability on your children in your old age. May your children not wish you early death when they can't manage you again in your old age.

To live a happy old age,
* Build your own house where you will live in your old age. 
* Build businesses, preferably properties, that will feed you in your old age. 
* Create conveniences, start learning things that will engage you in your old age.
* Build friendship and goodwill that will serve you in your old age. 
* Right now, start to be relevant in your Church, community so you could be reckoned with in your old age.

Old age could be lonely. An old age without money in your pocket is a slow, agonising death sentence!

Be warned. Take action NOW...!




This is important..I hope you read it and not just scrolled through?

PINKYS SIDE TALK
THE WOES OF THE 'NIGERIAN' GENTLEMEN(part1)


There is something worse than the lack of knowledge; it is the abuse of knowledge. A man lacking in knowledge can be likened to a tamed beast while the one in the habit of abusing it is a wild beast. The two follow each other closely in most Nigerians - from a child who got enrolled for just a day in school to professors; people around them must pay dearly for the “mistake” of allowing them taste of the fruit of knowledge. 



As for the children, they return from their schools continuously chanting at home like the cuckoo birds, words that near conjuring a spirit. “Hay-ai-bee for da yee, for da yee popo…piyo piyo for da yiiii popo ha pien pien for da yiii pooopoo tamor’. If you are lucky not to have heard this song in this manner, the song that has the misfortune of that epic literal assassination actually goes thus, ‘H-I-P for the hip for the hipopo…’Wait! 


Do not make the mistake of thinking it is normal for kids to sing or even talk in an incoherent manner. I am no scientist for this purpose, but once a kid can assimilate a message, he is more likely capable of efficiently reproducing it without such degree of inconsistency. It is the system that is sick. That is why most of us will get to heaven before we realize the “sandalili” we religiously chant with a conviction of erudition is actually “standard living.” Everything in Nigeria will kill you, including knowledge.


Here, I want to address a few issues out of the several ones which show our society is not in the right frame of mind. I shall focus on how education has become a weapon of gender extortion. While all of us may claim that the older generation and masters in fields of life are more knowledgeable, it is only a few of us that recognize that their knowledge is inconclusive and not flawless. And, even a fewer, still, have the guts to point this out. Those of us in the last category are the rebels. 


We are mostly the weeds in any gathering where the objectives are promoted by undiluted dogmas.

(Part2 for Friday IHN)
You will only enjoy this if you assimilate each words from part 1-2

TEEJAYS CORNER
A BROKEN PROMISE A BETRAYAL OF TRUST.


When the word promise is being mention or talk about what comes to mind to some persons is that feelings of disappointment, betrayal and unfulfilled.

Often a time we have being guilty in one way or the other in fulfilling those words we made and to a sizable extend it has left so many negative impressions on our personality.

There are people who use promise as an escape route while some uses it as a tool for deception. A man's word ought to have been his bond if only he is responsible but unfortunately only few individuals are reliable in keeping to their words.

Do you know a broken promise/vow is a betrayer of trust and confidence. Why make a promise so difficult to keep?

A lot of mental cases you see today and repercussions could be link to unfulfilled promises. At the inception of it, you knew you were not going to marry her so why the promise? Why kept her those number of years only to get all you crave for then betray that very trust of a promise.

Thinking to be smart as a lady, after taking care of your education and family needs you feel he is no longer fit to be call your husband. Why gave him hope you were all his? Only to milk him dry then jump to your secret lover.

The society today we find ourselves has been bastardized as  a result of so many unkept campaign promises by our leaders and politicians and bad as it may seem, it has become an unending trend and a revolving circle that don't look like ending anytime soon.

If promises are kept, a lot of problems and difficulties would have being solved. More also if they weren't made in the first place then I believe a large number of problems as well could have being avoided  equally.

Always chose your words after much thought and consideration. In a situation you aren't convince or sure always use the word 'I will see what I can do' or 'I will try but not making a promise'  by so doing you aren't giving a hope to anyone.


BV TEEJAY.



Hmmmmm,you are right,i think i am guilty of this too...I will change.
