My Mum Abused Me Physically, Verbally and Spiritually

African parents abuse their children all in the name of home training and discipline. I saw an article online and I totally agree with it. African parents abuse their children all in the name of home training and discipline. My mum abused me, yes she did. She did that both physically, verbally and spiritually. Its funny though but till now I am still traumatized. My dad was a little understanding, but he was out most times so I always had my mum to deal with. My mum would beat me for playing, she would beat me for coming second or third position in class, she would beat me for not wanting to eat swallow, she would beat me for coming back home with a dirty school uniform, my house was a living hell. My mum had a collection of "kpankere" she used to buy and keep in the house jus...

Sports: Nigerian Super Eagles Lose 0:1 to Czech Republic

In its final friendly before traveling to Russia for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Nigerian Super Eagles this afternoon lost 0:1 to Czech Republic. In a game that was largely uninspiring, the Super Eagles conceded the only goal of the match in the 25th minute of the first half and were not able to get any past the Czech goalkeeper till the end of the first half. Upon resumption, the game was halted at about the 60th minute as a result of the heavy rains and wind that hampered play. When the game resumed, the Super Eagles took full control of the game, but could not convert the possession to a goal. Nigeria will be facing Croatia in the first of their 2018 World Cup games on June 16.
