ENGLISH TRANSLATION

During the “Free Education Programme in the Western State of Nigeria” that was created by the Politicians led by Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Primary School pupils are thought the song below to teach respect for parents.  At that period, many parents denied themselves of food, worked hard or even sell their properties in order to provide for their children and to educate them in the Higher Institutions.  It is only apt for such children to respect such parents.

The child that disobey his/her parent

Will suffer poverty in the end

The child that disobey his/her father

Will suffer poverty in the end

Your mother suffered so much for you

Your father suffered so much for you

A child that disobey his/her parent

Will suffer poverty in the end

A child that disobey his/her father

Will suffer poverty in the end
