Keppy Ekpeyong-Bassey shares childhood experiences growing up.

My father was someone who would scold you and cry as he’s spanking you; ‘why did you do that, you shouldn’t do this’ and then he was a military officer we had guards at the gate and everything, and then when he spanks his kids, he’s the one crying, but we had that kind of interactive relationship.

My mum? Rascal. Oh! My mum was a rascal, everybody knew even my friends know till tomorrow. When I was in the university and she’ll come visit, she’ll come with bottles of brandy, rolls of cigarettes.

She’ll sit down with us. Because I lived off campus she’ll light a stick of cigarette and call everybody, ‘come let’s drink’ and stuff. So it was easy to speak with my parents, it was fun. Now I’m grown, I have children of my own and then we have some of their friends stay over and they think it’s easier to speak with us than their folks and I don’t understand how it works in other homes.

Because with my kids, my son can walk up to me and pull my ears and say, ‘ old man with your big ears’ and I wouldn’t think anything about it, you know. But there are some people who see it and they are cringe and they are afraid because they can’t and wouldn’t dare relate with their folks that way.

We also have come to find out that if you close particular doors of communication between you and your children, you’ll be really shocked at who you think your children are because they would hide behind those closed doors and you don’t want to know when you get in.
