‘YOUR PAPA!’ ‘YOUR MAMA!’ ‘YOUR GENERATION!’- Say that to Jim Iyke and Learn the Lessons of Your Lifetime!

In recent times Nigeria’s Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke has been quoted for stressing the importance of parental motivation for their children’s success; indeed, towards becoming better than their parents. This confirms traditions across human societies, where parents play pivotal roles in motivating children towards excellence. The popular Nollywood actor shared some experience about his banishment from family comfort by the father, following decision to become an actor. Of course, the older man’s quest he obtained a Master Degree, following undergraduate studies never appealed to the then 18years old man. And we are many on that trodden path. Jim Iyke’s revelation sheds light on the struggles and conflicts arising when a father is turned down despite the sincerity that his child should go out and achieve more than the parent. I cannot remember the title; in a mafia movie, a notorious drug dealer was really proud that his son had become a chemistry graduate. Meaning the son would be better than him the criminal father. He added, ‘That’s my son!’ So, you see, even criminals might want to start good family names through generations, except they are cursed with, ‘It won’t be better for your generations!’ Accordingly, it is thought-provoking and contradictory, when parental influence revered as a cornerstone of a child's success is suddenly abused, sometimes cursed without fear of spiritual consequences. This is about the power of words, capable of invoking harm upon individuals, families and even generations.It is a negation of parental and family influences as primary drivers of success, which is deeply ingrained in Nigerian culture. That’s where the prevalence of curses like "Thunder fire you," "Your papa," "Your mama," and "Your generation" raise a pertinent question - why do Nigerians indulge in statements that seemingly contradict the nurturing essence of parental and family influences?There is general ignorance that such statements transcend mere verbal expressions. They carry potent emotional and cultural weight, with spiritual implications that ripple through time and space. Such words emit evil low-frequency destructive vibrations capable of disrupting complex effect of SPACE-TIME ETHER https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2015/12/what-is-spacetime-really/. They provoke negative energies and disturbances that reverberate across generations. The cycle of harm continued by such curses underscores deeper societal wounds that call for control, healing and transformation.Casual pronouncement of curses is now so ingrained in Nigerian street and home parlance these days. We hear people shout, ‘Your papa,’ Your Mama,’ ‘Your family,’ or ‘Your generation!’ Most common places to perhaps run away from raining curses are skits, movies and all kinds of media contents, sometimes regarded as jokes; sometimes borne from anger. Most video skit characters on social media from well-known producers, pour curses on fellow ‘actors,’ who also make statements like, ‘ I‘ll not forgive you in this life.’ ‘Over my dead body, will I forgive you!’ And you begin to wonder how words like, ‘F^K you bitch’ reverberate through spatial and spiritual realm to impact on the receivers of the weaponized words. I can remember that in the 1990s, ‘Your fada! ‘ ‘Your mama!’ ‘ Your generation,’ suddenly became comic staples transferred from’ street parlance to comedy shows. Even so there are curse words from various Nigerian ethnic communities that have become everyday relationship definers. They are used to raining curses on friends, worst of all family members without bother….cont. in Part 2. THE POWER OF WORDS: CURSE STATEMENTS IN NIGERIAN CULTURE.
