Wale Gates makes case for student who killed his father, shares his own story

A few days ago, we heard about a 21 year old Redeemer University student named Tolani Ajayi, who killed his own father. The news shocked us all...because it's unheard of for a child to kill his own parent but UK based comedian Wale Gates says he has little sympathy for the young man because he's been in the boy's shoes and kind of understands what could have pushed him.

Wales shares his own story of the abuse he suffered in the hands of his own father growing up, how he didn't speak to the man for 12 years and how he eventually forgave him. See all that after the cut...

P.S: If you hit your child frequently or even verbally abuse them, you need to stop. They remember when they grow up, and they may never tell you but they carry that resentment for a long time.

    2. Parent abuse especially the father, just like this incident seems to be a common thing in our society as i have my own wealth of experience. It seems my own father used it to create respect and discipline. The coolest kid get the most beatings and the tough one wrestle his way out.

      Wale story is tougher than mine as there is no trace of abuse outside the home except a case where i had this slap and one of eye swell out. I thought i will go blind. He was lenient enough to get me dark glasses to wear when going outside the home especially to school and medication.

      But i still ask my self, why all these beatings and abuse just to gain respect or whatever power you want.

      I met this same trend while in a boarding school in one of school in the oil rich region (FGC things).

      School perfects beating their Juniors unnecessary for flimsy things and all they compete for is Power among themselves.
      I was never a perfect in my time but in my set, there was this Head Boy, he had it all. The power and the influence. He achieve them without beating any junior. I have personally never see this guy beat a junior. Even among his colleague, the influence and power spread. I thought how this guy came about this, it must attitude. This attitude has been built over time since he was a junior. I can't explain them here.

      Scenario Example: One bright sunny afternoon outside the large dining hall, pupils queue for lunch which was very long. The queue look scattered and they were talking and shouting like young teens normally do. The dining hall perfect tried to organize them but no achievement. With all his beatings, how many pupils can he even beat for offending queue rules. As a senior boy just sitting around the corner of the hall, the moment they heard this guy (head boy) coming back from class, OMG, the scatter queue was straight like a ruler in seconds. Not only straight, they all kept quite. As in mute and tranquility grew the air. The dining hall perfect was shocked, and i was shocked as well because I have never seen this before even though i don't normally go to the dining hall to eat as most senior normally do. For someone who they was coming, hasn't even approach and his influence can be felt from afar. By the time he reach the dining hall which was leading to his house, he just pass them, observing everything was in order without even knowing there was disorderliness when his presence was not felt.

      I began to think over this singular act. Someone who don't beat, has so much influence and power while those who beat don't have any but struggle. What this Head boy had, is his attitude and great words.

      This same scenario made me to believe that with the right attitude and great words, you can influence your children to do what you them to do. Simply, to be discipline and not by beating them. It will never work but worsen the situation.

      I hope we all learn from this boy sad story and become a better father and dad to our kids.
      RIP to the father.

  6. Only a few Nigerians with common sense that think critically will understand his point. Kudos to you Wale and I believe you have started something new in Nigeria. Hopefully, your message will change a few. It has become a trend for Nigerian kids abroad to kill their parents, why? The parents want to train the child the way they were trained forgetting they are in a different environment. They enforce their religion and culture on these poor kids who go to school and mix with other children. The kids become confused and those that have low tolerance eventually stand up to their parents. As Nigerians, we need to start thinking and change our mindsets, will beating the hell out of a child make the child a better person? NO, it will make the child worse. Children who grow up in a loving environment turn out better. The sad part is a lot of parents in Nigeria do this due to frustration and the state of the country so it all boils down to governance. Sadly, it is a chain reaction.

  8. Child abuse is very wrong and must be condemned at all levels, but not withstanding it shouldn't warrant the killing of a fellow human, so I don't have sympathy for him either

    2. Lol @ wilheminna new 'h' accent! Imitating my people abi?! ... *frowns face* be very kiaful! Lol!
      Wale didn't justify what the boy did... but he understands what could have prompted him to do that. it's no excuse but it's a valid reason! And parents should be careful. I'm 22, i'm serving(nysc) and my dad(and i'm sure several other parents) still think it's okay if he corrects me wiv a slap or two, or even beat me if I do somfn really wrong! I think it's barbaric and totally wrong!

      Linda... I commented on the last update about this boy where I said how my dad used to beat me(at some point he resorted to fists)... let me state that i'm a girl.. and i'm just 1.6m tall. So not like i'm a threat or somfn. I don't do drugs or anyfn... I don't steal... sneak out of the house, do runz, or any drastic thing that should make him resort to fists. trust me! And there were times when I thought, if I am strong ehn... i'll just teach him a lesson! so I understand where Tolani is coming from... i'm not applauding him or saying he is right... but I do sympathize wiv him. I pray God wud give his family the fortitude to bear the loss.

  9. Wale wait before u committ fallacy of hasty conclusion.
    First the young man never complained of being constantly abused by his dad.
    Secondly the young man abuses drugs.
    Third he attacked his dad with a small knife.
    Fourth the he resorted to a cutlass when he felt the small knife wasn't making much impact.
    Goes to show it took so much of evil intent for him to execute such.
    No one is trying to sound sanctimonious here, but stating the obvious.
    His behaviour is no different from that of drug addicts, which never denied.
    A sane person,in the right frame of mind would have used the time spent in thinking of how to reach for cutlass,to think of how to run away to safety. Just like you did when your dad attacked you.

    5. Because he uses drug does not mean you should conclude that that's what made him do it, he might have been sober but angry.

    7. The issue being tackled here is that of child abuse by Nigerian parents which we know is rampant. Running away or staying back to attack is dependant on your level of tolerance. If he didn't say his father attacked him, where did the story of beating and boring come from? I am not defending his actions but we need to tackle the root cause of the many problems we have in Nigeria today.

    10. I totally disagree with some of ur points bro, de fact dat he uses drug doesn't necessarily mean it pushed him to the act, there might have been other reasons that opened the door dat let the devil creep in.

    13. Bible said train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he'll not depart from it. If the man was as religious as aclaimed, he would also remember the passage that says parents do not provoke ur children to anger. Now who knows if he is in hell or heaven.

WHAT DO YOU THINK A FATHER WILL DO WHEN HE HAS BEEN SPENDING MONEY ON SCHOOL FEES, ONLY FOR HIM TO realize THAT ALL THE FEES HE PAID WAS A WASTE, THAT AT THE END OF UR STAY IN SCHOOL U NEVER WENT TO CLASS AND WHEN UR RESULT CAME OUT, U HAD NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. NOW TELL ME WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FATHER WILL DO, THAT IS IF HE IS A NO NONSENSE MAN. YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING THAT VEXED THE MAN TO ACT LIKE THAT. TELL US THE TRUTH.

    1. And bite him is what he should do rite? Cast demons? Slap him? If u fail has a father to show your child love,don't expect him to respect and love you..one day he will loose his fear for you and you as d dad may pay the ultimate price. Learn to bring up your child in d rite way with love and he/she will not depart from it..not with your spanking and very deadly abuses..Nigerian parents can insult..and trust me yorubas gat painful insults my dear.

    2. I believe you have not been in this kind of situation before. My father beat us for any reason and we were all girls, even when you don't wake up early to join the family devotion you are so dead. He even chased us with cutlass, it got so bad one day that I ran out of the house without wearing panties. I have scars on my body due to several beatings. I have forgiven him but it's wasn't easy. Some parents can be so mean all in the name of discipline.

Even when i was being molested(didnt know wat it was den, but i know now)by our house help onyinye(a gurl),i couldnt say a word.When she wants to descend on me, dad always came to my rescue but all you hear is 'let me train my children' for real? Mind u, i dont even know wat cigerret taste like at 27, had first sex at 24, sooo u can see i have always been a good boy.
    Abusive words and names was a norm in our house but my dad insisted on dat one, EWU, WITCH , etc were names i heard often.

    Anyways maybe cos am a man, i love her sooo much now and defend her alot, but i must say she was unnecessarily hard on us as kids

  27. Ok, this dude need to stfu! We are talking about murder here and dude is talking about little sympathy!
    Is there any African child that didn't get some bit of cane? I got so much, beaten blue black because I was damn too stubborn for everybody. And guess what, I knew I needed to be straightened up!
    What happened to taking off, running far away from your dad?? Sue there are better reactions than killing the father! And the eediot is justifying nonsense with comments that weed doesn't make people kill. You must be a loonie yourself, I will stay away from you because you probably do weed.
    Yes, Arowolo killed the wife and he deserved to die but this guy killed the father and he deserved little sympathy!
    And where is this gonna land him? Jail! His life is messed up and he will be hated by many people.
    You people should stop this demented justification of evil simply because it is the twitter age.
    I am not beating my kids for very different reasons, didn't make my dad an evil person. He beat me pretty much but I loved him all the same and God bless his soul.

    2. While I understand ur point of view, u in turn need to understand that only two types of people kill... Those who are emotionally numb (psychopaths) and those who were pushed to it. We all have different psychological make ups and personalities... So while u might have survived it unscathed, there are millions of kids out there that are turned into monsters (and yes...

  29. Wale Gates story is a true picture of torture!
    Just because they are parents, sometimes parents do cross the lines between reasonableness and unreasonableness
    Grated, my parents smacked me (and I still thank God for that) and I fully intend to do thesame but NOT cross the line and step into the realms of unreasonableness and child abuse
    7 slaps for no washing a car to is standard?! Such parents seems like he cannot be pleased regardless so he will still have been slapped if he used a different brand of wax no premium wax to shine the car after washing.Com'on, thats insane and ridiculous!
    So Wale Gates is not making a blanket statement, nether is he saying the boy was right to kill his dad (that's just wrong and demonic) he is just relating it to a similar incident to which he can identity with and to
    So I'm sure a torrent of abuses will reign on this poor Wale Gates, BUT STOP first and think of the context (and remove that unreasonable fear of parents and be objective)

  30. I totally agree with him! 100%....Some african parents think beating their children is the best disciple..it is not! Some parents even verbally abuse their children..that shit is not good! I'm speaking from experience..my brother resents my mother soooo much for what she did to him as a child. I'm over it becaue I know God!

Since then, she comes back from school listing my laws she didn't contravene. God forgive me for slapping her to her face one day. Beating is not the answer.

  41. You are very correct Wale, some of our parents were monsters in pretense that they were trying to raise us to be good, yes for the boy killing his dad its wrong but i was once a victim of such circumstance, i grew up in enugu and i know that a lot of my friends visits this blog and maybe some will know what am about to write now because i and my siblings were humiliated, abused and tortured by my father now deceased. I was in primary 3 when my dad and mum got separated and from from that day till when i left my father's house after my jss 3 i was battered, flogged with canes, beaten with bare hands by my father any day my mum comes to visit us in school. And for these 7yrs before i left my father's house my mum usually visit us 3or 4 times every week and any day she visits my dad will beat me up till i will almost loose my breath,infact you cannot imagine this, he will beat me for like 6 to 8 hrs non stop simply because i talked to my mum in school when she visited, so people tell me what sort of a father was he, was he doing the right thing or abusing me? Until now when i think or remember about such humiliation and torture i feel like strangling him more even in his grave for being that wicked and mean for his own blood, i cannot imagine treating my own blood in such a wicked way, anyway they should just let this boy go free because all he did was to defend himself from an abusive father,its unfortunate the man died but what if he was the one that died too what would have happened

  47. Well said. I also was brought up in a family with a no-beating policy although my dad could shout hellfire on you. Shouting that would make you cry.

  48. I cried reading this..me personally still have hatred for my dad for the day he flogged the living day light out of me because I went to a pentecostal church at the age of 9.he flogged me with an electric cable...when I was in primary 4,someone told him I stole 50 kobo of which I didn't. and my stupid dad will wake me up early for a week to flog me..the beatings I got from my dad is something I doubt if I can forgive him for. If he tries that now,,honestly I may kill him too..some stupid dad think they can correct you by throwing punches...no matter who u are and how reserved u are, u will loose your temper one day if someone keep beating u because they feel they have the power to even if u don't take drugs,when pushed,a beast will be let loosed. so what's going on?

  51. A child stopping what u beats him /her for at dat time does nt mean he wont do it again, dat child stopped it coz he was afraid you and when you are not there the tendency of going back to dat is certain. Parents stop hitting ur child unnecessary all in de name of discipline.

    while I don't agree with Child abuse , I don't see ANY justification for the barbaric killing of another human being moreso his father - what is happening !! the action of the dad does not justify the killing .In my opinion the boy psychiatry help . I was beaten black and blue cause I was playful just like Wale however I have never thought of raising my hand against my parents.

  77. It might come 'has' a surprise?

YES, it may' ve been the reason, but we don't know that for sure.....there are also other reasons that could've caused the unfortunate incidence. The boy may have uncontrollable anger issues, drugs or anything else for that matter... But whatever it was, he has committed murder and now he has to face the Law#Sadmuch

  81. Wale honestly you are very correct.Those who will understand your point well, were those that went through the same ordeal.
    You know, the person I suffered from was my daddy's niece. To call the woman a wicked person is an understatement. Being a xtian, I don't want to use the actual words. It took me a long time to forgive her. At times when I remember what I went through, I cried, even til date. Flashing back,holy Moses. Like Wale said, they are mostly religious people. She too beat at the back of the leg. Ask me how. You will carry mortal up (as in mortal for grinding pepper), the big one that you put pepper on. You raise it up with your two hands as if you are shouting hallelujah to the most high. You now raised a leg up towards the back. The raised leg is the one she will be beating. I was not an orphan ooo. In fact, I'm from a middle class family. My father paid for our school fees and upkeep, he just thought that, since she was a headmistress that she will be able to train us well (Me & my sister). That is one of her numerous punishment to mention but few.
    You know, after we finally left her. And we told our daddy what we went through, the man was moved to tear. He even said we should have told him. Told you? the last time we did, the result was woeful. The woman descended on us when he left.
    We did our primary & secondary school with her. We saw hell

  82. There is a thin line between discipline and animosity,
    Some people here say the torture this boy received was not a good reason for killing his father but let me say this; You are right to say it was not a good reason or to say it was a good reason but we forget that those are just under the realms of reason. There is what is called 'spontaneous effect ' have u been there when ur emotion took over u and u scattered whatever was close to u at that moment ? did u have to reason it out? I have found myself on very tense situations with my dad, but for the fact that my mom was there to calm nerves only God knows what would have happened that day... I grew up under strict discipline and more so my mom wasn't spared the battery and humiliation from my dad... at a point his quarrels began to provoke me and I began to muster some uncommon courage to confront him... just to say the less... i thank God it did not come to the worst, at least today every body knows his limit and we are better today... God help the poor boy.

  83. I have read most of the comments. Don't get it wrong people, no one is justifying the boy killing his dad. There are other ways to discipline a child. the rate at which our parents beat and torture a child all in the name of discipline is way too much. I have my own share of beating but I remember this one time, my kid brother, about eight years old spoiled my dad's car key-holder, just one rubber thingy which could have been easily replaced, my dad flogged my brother like he had committed one big crime. massacred this boy's body with cane. all for what??? this actions can most times even lead to a parent killing their child all in the name of 'I brought u into this world'. In this case, if the boy wasn't meeting up to his dad's standards, the man would have probably cut him off financially or come up with some other form of disciplinary actions. Its sad though that the man lost his life but the boy didn't just think of killing his dad out of the blue, it was instigated. Lord have mercy!

  93. Talk of child abuse, I had to ask my dad if I had another mom somewhere because mine was very hard on me. She beat me for my wrongs and that of my brothers, will never forget the day our neighbour broke her new stuff and she beat me for not telling her it was broken eventhough I wasnt the only child or person in d house. She said its better for all the canes in d world to finish on my body than for her only daughter to spoil. That was just it. She locks me up in the room so no where to run to. Anything that makes me feel like a girl or look beautiful she makes sure I never had them cos she wants my beauty to be from the inside. It surprises me to look at my skin so spotless now cos I always had cane stripes all over my body as a growing child. In a way it made me to be independent and dont expect much love from anybody. I couldnt wait to leave home and now I enjoy my freedom like anything and would never do such to my baby girl whenever I get married. I love my mom so much and I dont hesitate to buy her things or give her money, we are just becoming friends. I hope one day I can tell her how much she hurt me as a child all in d name of discipline.

    ReplyDelete
  100. I'm not against spanking, but excessive spanking must be discouraged absolutely! For me, my dad never raised a finger against me and my siblings. My mum was the disciplinarian in the family, and boy, did she discipline us!! From verbal abuses to horse whips to painful purnisments. However, my mum is STILL the one I love like no man's business. Even though dad never touched us, he didn't show love and care towards us and this goes on till today (I'm 38). I've come to the conclusion that he DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO LOVE.

    My point is, if spanking is done moderately and if the child is shown that he/she is loved and not spanked out of hatred, things will turn out fine. That a parent doesn't inflict any form of physical pain doesn't mean they love/care for their child. My dad abused us in a much worse form: total neglect. He abandoned us at a tender age (I was 10 and the oldest of 3) without a word. My mum was responsible for our upbringing 100%. When I grew up, thank God I did well, I tried to contact him, paid him a visit, and a stranger would have received me better! I had to forget about him cos he wanted to continue the abuse. When he realized I wasn't going to give in to his continued emotional torture, he behaved himself. I called him 2weeks ago (after almost a year of speaking) and was shocked at the joy in his voice. He ended our conversation with "thank you for calling"!!! This was the same man who refused to call my younger sister to express sympathy when she had an accident with her husband, 3 kids and our other sister!

    Despite the fact that my mum beat us excessively, the love she showed us overshadowed the pain we suffered, though I resent those beatings and will never do such to my own kids. So, inflicting physical pain is not always equal to abuse; although it should be controlled

  102. Goodluck to u if u spare d rod 4 ur child. The key is applying reasonable force. Beat to correct and not to maim. The instrument of chastisement and how u go abt it is very vital. U can use a cane and not a stick. Hitting with any other object and even bare hands is a no no and u need to control ur emotions whilst at it 4 kids can drive u crazy. I am a father of 3 little kids living in Canada and I know everyone sits up if they know papa will bring his cane. And hahaha who told u guys dat whites don't beat their kids? A big white lie.

  116. Bonario and all those sharing the opposite view. You don't fix a 19 yeas old young man by beating him.
    Think about yourself at 19. Remember that if this kid strayed something must have led him there especially if he grew up in a "strict" home.
    And after reading all of the comments I think it is about time as a society we acknowledge that some parents are just abusive. Yes the guy killed his dad, Yes it is wrong but there is clearly a history of violence there that you cannot deny.

  117. Yeah some Parents Can be wild. I was fortunate to have very loving parents but I knew quiet a number of Parents in the neighborhood who were bullies. We had witnessed one Case where my friend pulled out his father's sword and swore he was going to drill his father's Big beIly. It took the strength of 5 men to hold him...he cried for hours afterwards for not giving the chance to end his father's life. All the Same, no matter what Parents do, our place is to control anger and not go this far. I also feel sympathy for him, but he has a price to pay now.

    ReplyDelete
  118. sorry Wale but this case is quiet different to your story. This murderer was drug induced. It's as simple as that. There is no excuse for KILLING your parents becos they correct your behaviour with beating. That is just nonsense! Yes things have changed now and we know better, however u cannot come here to condone children murdering their parents. Be careful what u condone, you will also have children who u will need to correct. Maybe ask them politely to not leave the house at 2300hrs and they give u a good slap for having the audacity to stop them going out. your father installed good values in you. That is why U are were u are today. Did your father sexually molest you?. Some do, those ones deserve death. So shut your trap, wait till u have your own then come and preach on how to bring up a heady teenager.

  122. wale well done for demonising your wicked evil idiot father. the idiot that paid your school fees and fed u till u were grown up enough to come here and wish you had stuck a knife in him. Well it's not to late u can go and finish the bloody devil off. All of you sympathising with this murdering druggie should go and research which sort of drugs he was high on, that gave him strength to finish off his evil father. So that you all can go and get high and kill your own parents. Fucked up evil generation. Maybe your parents killed their parents so the cycle must continue . Tufiakwa!!

  123. Wale, you mite be right in a way but I think both the dad and son have there faults. In all, no matter what, the boy/ man/ child ought to run to safety in a situation like his. He may have reacted out of accumulated anger, but like Bonario said, slicing his "father's throat" with a small knife and then a cutlass??? Maka y? Its beta imagined than experienced.
    What was the experession on his face like when caring out that act??

    Not suporting anybody, but I have a younger brother too and i know growing up, there used to be rancour btw him and my dad. Male children sometimes and in most cases r stubborn, veeerrrry stubborn resulting to their parents beating them. If you know your parents dont like something, just stay away from it. Shikena.

    Its even more disheartening to think / know that a church Minister or Pastor's son is involved in some illicit acts.

  124. I have been reading various comments about this case. Lemme state that there is no justification whatsoever for murder.
    Humans have various tolerance level even in the same household. I doubt anybody got more beatings than I and my siblings. Not to mention verbal abuse and pure confession of hatred. We were called beasts, bastards all sorts of thinkable and unthinkable names. With the beatings my sister and I will be so scaref to mingle, so I can say maybe it kept us in check as ladies till we got married. But my brother didnt handle it well, it ended up affecting him psychologically. He had the lowest . Self esteem bcos he got the worst beating and embarrasment if he came 2nd or 3rd in class. This led to him being afmitted in psychiatric hosp. Parents should learn to study their children as each child is unique. It took my husband begging before I could forgive my dad, now we are best of friends. Unfortunately that cant be said by my brother. They dont relate on any level and now that my dad is older he is afraid of my brother.
    Nigerian parents please draw the line between discipline and punishment and dont discipline your child in anger. Know each child weak and strong point. My son is my best friend, we are so close he calls me by name and hardly mummy bcos thats what I taught him from early on. But I still insist there is no justification to take a life

  125. Enough of the stories about your parents. If you have issues with your parents abusing deal with it and find closure but not on Linda's blog.
    Agreed the boy snapped. Why did he not snap back after stabbing his father? Rather, he got a cutlass to cut him into smaller bits and sat back calmly to watch TV.
    I believe there is something psychologically wrong with the boy... Bipolar disorder, schizophrenic etc. or the after effects of drug abuse.

    Nothing justifies his butchering is own dad.

  129. Sad to see so many similar experiences, your courage inspires.
    I had serious beating experiences too.. I would never do that to any child of my. It makes me wonder did they really experience beatings like that in their time because if they did i don't think they would want their enemies to go through the same. Spare the rod is a common quote
