No man or woman becomes a parent without first being a child. What is perceived as experience today sprang from the childhood pranks of some years past. And the cycle continues.
Dear Muslim parents, this is not a parents/teachers association meeting in which new school fees or new calendar year is to be discussed.
Children are the most invaluable gift of Allah to man. In a sane society, they cannot be bought. They cannot be sold. Even adoption or exchange of children for money is only a temporary illegal act which will become a permanent question later. Children are a bundle of joy. But they can also be a load of grief. At least, they form the source of both in the life of parents.
Do not scorn fellow human beings nor walk arrogantly on land; Allah does not love the arrogant and vainglorious ones. Be modest in your gait and lower your voice when talking for harshest of voices is the braying of an ass….” And when, occasionally, their children refuse to ride in old cars brought for them by their drivers, the parents quickly apologize and send new cars to convey them.These are children who have never worked for one kobo in their lives. All they know is that there is money. And they don’t want to know where the money is coming from.
Now, why wouldn’t such a brazing desperation lead to mass cheating in examinations and greedy stealing at work as now being experienced in Nigeria? Are the children to blame? What else is expected of them when their parents will buy anything for them including live examination papers? And the children of the less privileged parents will also want to take advantage of the terrible rot to succeed in life.
It all starts with unwarranted lavish spending on children’s birthdays which has virtually become the past-time of those parents. We also have law enforcers in the name of police whose main source of income is open corruction audaciously committed even on the roads. In all these, who will curb the ever-rampant examination fraud spreading like bush fire in Nigeria? Is it the parents who are so desperate that they would do anything including illicit sex to see their children through? Or school Principals and Proprietors who are the real architects of examination fraud? Or the officials of the various examination bodies who often facilitate and help to perfect the act? Or the police whose orientation is to call a spade a hoe where money is involved? Or the...
In his response after calming down, the man who was a former Nigerian Ambassador said he had lost his entire life. He narrated his pathetic story in a very sober mood and concluded that he had lived his entire life in vain.
