>You are a very wise young man. Are you like this despite your parents upbringing or because of their upbringing?

Thanks. 

I don't know how to answer that. Lemme say I once told my sister that our parents raised us like dogs. Maybe that's too much but you get my perception of how my parents raised us. By the way, it's pretty standard over here so my sister didn't quite agree with me

>I somehow believe that if you are brought up in poverty and constant problems, and even danger, it is much more difficult as a parent to be rational, because of the stress.

That's funny. It's the very thing I use to say over here. Especially poverty. 

>With knowledge comes the possibility to understand that children aren't foolish, that you are empowered to choose the right person in power, and understand that witchcraft is bullshit, that mental illnesses or disabilities are not shameful, but treatable in a society where you can talk about it.

Spot on. Especially the mental illness part. 

The issue isn't that people don't go to school. (I'm not sure of the statistics but I think Nigerians have one of the highest number of degree holders). It's that they go to school simply to get a job. They don't think!!!! 

They don't sieve facts from truths (like when a politician is using facts to tell lies). The school doesn't make much sense as most of them are cramming school. As long as you get good results you're okay. 

I remember two folks ran mad on campus recently. People were saying it was demonic possession. I'm talking about students who were going to graduate that year. 

Thankfully, some folks investigated and found out the students mixed weed and coffee together (it was exam period) 

Enough of my rant

I'm out
