Violence and the Word

Ada is the only child, this is why her parents allow her to get away with some unacceptable behaviours
Bayo is the last child, so he needs some extra petting says his mother
Cynthia is daddy’s girl, so even when mummy corrects her, her daddy is always in support of her irrespective of what she has done
Adamu is the only boy and you know what that means.

Seed doesn’t die
Although it may look as if we buried it alive
Wait for it…it is only a matter of time.

Fertile grounds do not lie fallow
If you don’t plant, weeds will grow
If you don’t uproot then it becomes something else

This proverb is in my native language, I really need an interpreter “ati kekere loye ka ti pekan iroko to ri to ba dagbatan ebo lomagba”

We also need to check what we model (our actions and motives) to them because they learn by example.

To prevent you and I from ‘appeasing the god of VIOLENCE’ in the lives of our children in the nearest future, we need to speak life into them whenever they display ‘a tiny’ trait.
