The Good, Old African Style of Parenting.

The letter below was written by Richard Mofe Damijo, a Nigerian celebrity, to his teen-age daughter. The letter is coming in an era when some regular Nigerian parents are doing everything in their power to “Americanize” their kids. To them, it’s a kind of status symbol when their kids are ignorant of their cultures, can’t speak their local languages and, of course, lack moral virtues. It doesn’t matter to these kind of parents, if at the end of the warped "assimilation" process, the kids are totally “messed” up...physically, morally and socially! Yet, here is a celebrity insisting on practicing the good, old African style of parenting.
