Nigerian rapper Erigga has sent a strong warning to parents who consistently defend their children’s misbehavior, cautioning that such actions may ultimately lead to more severe consequences.
In a recent post on X, Erigga wrote, “If you defend your children’s misbehavior, one day you will hire a lawyer to defend their crimes. Discipline is not child abuse.” This statement shows the importance of discipline in parenting and the potential risks of shielding children from accountability for their actions.
Erigga’s own life experiences have shaped his perspective on parenting. Having been raised without his father’s involvement, he had to fend for himself from the age of eight and learned valuable lessons about responsibility and discipline. Despite his father’s absence, Erigga’s parents’ strict upbringing helped him develop into a responsible individual. He now lay emphasis on the need for traditional parenting approaches that instills discipline and develop children into responsible adults.
