“Most Parents in Africa, We Want to Have the Respect That We Do Not Work For” #TVC Femi Shofoluwe #3

This is the 3rd and final episode in my Reaction to #TVC Television Continental’s Toxic Parenting Video interview with Femi Shofoluwe.

In this episode, I highlight a VERY important point made by Femi by playing an excerpt from his response to a question by the host…

Then I discuss Multiple Real Life Case Study Scenarios one may be faced with, to decide ‘When It’s Wise to Give Respect Vs. When It’s Stupid to Do So’.

Will You Tell Dangote to Respect You, Just Because You’re Older? – Femi Shofoluwe #TVC [Toxic Parenting #2 of3]

This is Part 2 of 3 in my Toxic Parenting Reaction Video series.

This episode highlights the misguided perception, prevalent among many African parents, that :

1. They can DEMAND respect from their kids, instead of EARNING it.

2. Making their kids “fear” them will make such kids give the parents “respect”.

Strange Pawpaw Tree Shows Root Cause of Nigeria’s Domestic Violence (DV) is a “People Profiting from Victims’ Pains” Culture

Nigeria’s DV problem has become a pandemic. And the reason why it’s that way is that we have developed a culture of PROFITING from PAIN.

I call it P4P for short.

In this video, I use the analogy of a Pawpaw tree with a peculiar fruiting behaviour to illustrate my point.

TIP: In Nigeria if your “abuser” is able to get those you complain to, to accept “money” or “favours”, you’re VERY likely – except in rare cases – to lose out (& even suffer secondary abuse at THEIR hands!) no matter how much proof you have.

Watch this video to learn more, as I explain why this happens, why it is the root cause of what is now a pandemic of sorts today – and what can be done to stop it.
