Bodily harm punishment

DISCIPLINE

I was there at his birth, when the midwives shouted at his mother who was groaning in the pains of child delivery labour. The nurses were not any nice.
I heard it loud and clear when one of nurses asked the poor woman to keep quiet simply because she was not there when she was enjoying the sexual intercourse with her husband that resulted into what she was suffering from at the moment; what a bad woman.

On his safe arrival on planet Earth, Nigeria to be precise; the nurses slapped his innocent buttocks for not crying aloud to announce his arrival. Then his mother took over the beatings; she would slap his cheeks, give him a knock on his head and then kick his bom-bom.

She would force this growing baby to eat by blocking his nose, locking his hips in her laps then open his mouth to force the fluid in. His daddy was not left out of the discipline-process, as he was fond of giving the kid twenty-four strokes of the cane on his right hand. His teacher was an expert at caning teenagers, he would flog him with the spinning cane all to instill discipline into the adolescent chap.

I remember the day his dad and mum fought, he was there as a spectator watching the beating skills his parents had to offer. Everyone around him taught him discipline through bodily punishment.

He grew up to become a perfect disciplinarian, I can't confirm that he was a bully but all his peers do avoid him. You know he chucked his secondary school principal's buttocks with a broken bottle and the poor old woman gushed blood as if she was on her monthly period. He got employed into the Nigerian Civil Defence, he was so civil at duty that he broke the leg of a suspected public nuisance.

He got wedded, raised his family with the same discipline his parents handed over to him. On this particular day, he had a minor argument with his wife. He landed a punch on his wife's fore-head and the woman died from the impact. He got so scared that he killed his only daughter with his gun, and then ended his own life with the gun.

I was there, I saw everything with my two eyes.

In this part of the world, we instil discipline through bodily harm; but we are yet to see a disciplined society.

How was I even able to see all these?
Do I have any job at all?
