“Spear the rod and spoil the child”
Some people interprete this rod to be koboko or “Dr do good” as we called it in primary school.
But is it the rod of Dr do good that is meant by that statement.
“what is good for the goose is also good for the gooser(gander)”
I want to believe that this rod is koboko but that will only be possible if the goose that uses koboko on others uses the same koboko on himself when he makes mistakes or to make it simple,when he makes a mistake,he can take a cane to police and ask to be floged for his inefficiency.
I had an experience today that if i was the beating type and somebody did that,i will beat the living day light out of him.
A socket joining two pipes burst open,i gave them the item to buy for repairs and when the socket was bought,i climbed the tank,went straight and cut off a functioning good joint (the bad one was the pipe through which water entered the tank,i just went and cut off the pipe through which water entered the house)
While trying to fit in the new socket,it was being a serious challenge, a challenge which in normal sense should not be since the socket is same size with the pipe,while trying to figure out what was wrong,i then saw i had cut the wrong pipe.
I came down back and asked them to buy 2 sockets this time. Then i wait for hours before the 2 socket were bought, now i had to repair the originally spoilt pipe + the one i mistakingly cut.after waiting for what seemed like eternity,the sockets came and i repaired them.
Climbing a hot tank under hot sun is not a funny idea but who will i blame
My point is,when other people make mistakes,we beat them especially when they are weaker than us,like kids,sibling,pupil and wife.
What about when you the beater makes such mistake, truthfully you should be beaten as well because what is good for the goose is good for the gander.
It seemed a stupid mistake cos,i was the one who climbed the tank to verify the bad pipe,came down and told them what was to be bought then when it came,i went and cut another pipe that was on his own.
Double wahala for deadbody.
So spearing the rod (if you interprete it to be koboko) is bad so dont spear yourself when you mess things up.
If you are a staff,when you mess things up,take a koboko to the admin manager of your supervisor and tell him to drill you.
If you dont like civilian drill,go to the nearest police station or army barrack and lodge a complain so they will drill you very well so that you will be obeying the principles you cherish.
Beating is good.
If you are a teacher,take the joboko to your principal.
If you are the breadwinner,take the cane to the butterwinner(your wife) or the nearest police station.
