The youth of today, well a whole lot of them are just plain lazy. American parents yell, nag and sometimes just kick their them to the curb when their grown children are sponging off them, doing absolutely nothing and just being totally and completely idle.
According to a recent Reuters piece, a father in Northern Nigeria, well he had enough. What did he do with his lazy ass son? He took him to court. Sama'ila Tahir, a market trader in the northeastern town of Bauchi, took his 20-year-old son to an Islamic court recently for his idleness and for getting involved with the wrong crowd. He requested that his son “be sent to prison for refusing to engage in productive activities.” He stated to the court that "He is not listening to words and he is bringing shame to my family. I am tired of his nefarious deeds. Please put this boy in prison so that I can be free,". The court’s decision? Six months in prison and thirty strokes of a cane. Now that’s some tough love. Yeah, our kids are l-u-c-k-y!
