DonBenny77: I bet that you're one of the very entitled family members he's referring to. People who take and take and take without nothing to show for it because their brother or sister is wealthy. You want to tell him how to spend his money abi? Who told you he hasn't supported his family over the years? He makes money but because he has an extended family he should live like a pauper to please them? Or he needs to show you what he has been doing for his family for years. Nonsense 3 Likes 1 Share |

But what a family Mikel got. With everything he did for them yet his dad had to "disappear" and "reappear" three times... I guess it all makes sense now. 1 Like |

DonBenny77:That is the bring let's chop mentality we developed from family and extended to work place and what have you. Politicians now use it to buy everybody. We shouldn't be complaining cos we started requesting from the family. As long as its not my money, bring let's chop. An act of corruption. See where it has landed Nigeria. |

If your family no disturb you, then your friends will always feel that its your right to take care of them. For me, my families don't even disturb me but many of my friends send me messages daily asking me for money for one thing and another. All they want is money, money and more money. Their problems no dey finish. Na only dem need money for rent payment, bills, transportation to work, money for gas, feeding, their kids school fees, then money for for their birthday celebrations and some other unnecessary things. Dem don take money swear for dem. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Well, I dont know about your family, but mine is wonderful and they are all i've got. If they need help. I will be there for them always. Mikel has always been known as a stingly man since his time when he had some issues with 2 face. We all know what Ahmed musa and Asisat Oshoala has done and still doing in Nigeria today. What has Mikel given back to the society? You think Argentina and Portugal dont have poor people, Infact poverty in Brazil is magnanimous, you thick these Europeans dont ask too? When last have you seen others go on interview to call their own people beggers. Attached is a simple google search of "Hammed Musa Gives" "Mikel Obi Gives" You can see the difference Mindlog: 2 Likes 1 Share

Wrong.... You let the moral of the story fly past your left ear through your brain and put your right ear.. Nobody owes any one anything... We only owe ourselves to do what we believe we can do.... We only owe respect and treating everybody the way we should treat ourselves...doing good has nothing to do with by force. The doctor that did surgery and saved someone life, only got paid once... After the patient paid and left all he owes the doctor is appreciation and thank you... If the patient does more than thank you and do anything positive for the doctor it's the patients choice.

Error401: It is very easy to "give" what you don't have. The easiest time to be a philanthropist is when you don't have shi shi. By the time you make N50m through hard work, and your family members and relatives bring their problems worth N40m, then you can have a say. For now, continue to imagine the imaginary billions you will spend on your family. Imagination is free. 1 Like 1 Share |

I guess this informed his decision to marry a foreigner. I think he should have held shares in the companies he set up for his family then have an Accountant cum General Manager be his eyes and ears. This without doubt make them sit up better and run if like a profit making center. |

bukatyne: I hope so too. I'm not worried about him tho'. He'll be fine. He married into money. He played at and established valuable contacts at the highest levels. As long as he does not spend like he still earns 6 figures per week, he's golden. All of that said, it's got to sting going from 6 figures per week to zero in your mid 30s.

DonBenny77:You didn't get it right. Mikel is quite correct. I read all he said on BBC and the best way to see his position is put yourself in his shoes. You help others but you don't get drown for them. 1 rich person + 6 poor people = 7 paupers. This mathematics is correct when the rich is a simpleton. You're saying when he dies, his family will be there for him. How does that benefit his life? 3 Likes 1 Share |

bukatyne: His family can't help him in his lean years. Why do you think many celebrities like him come back to beg the public? Why is Mr. ibu begging the public for money? Are you saying he hasn't done anything for his family? Truth is families who are leeches can't contribute anything. They'll still beg him even in his lean years. They're that terrible. 1 Like 1 Share |

Ishilove:Oga, if you want to help such relatives if you can afford it do, don't look at their deficiencies. If you cannot then back out. So they have more kids nko, don't you know a poor man cannot go out like you to have side chicks, go clubbing, go abroad on vacations, afford the entertainment, luxury you have? The only pleasure that have is to get home and knack their fat madams for free after a bottle of beer. Watin you think the result go be? Lol 1 Like 2 Shares |

Fiscus105:That is why I said, if it can be afforded than yes. It is also by choice of the individual. Not every one is free with their money as you also have wealthy people that chose not to assist relatives and as you say, use it for only their family. It is their choice and rightly. But for me ohh, I cannot be wealthy and see my siblings not OK. Never! Monthly despite my humble earning, if I don't give money out monthly, at least over 100. Not to siblings ohh, because they are ok, but to folks that will call. One time, I stopped picking calls when it bacame too much. There are those you will give 10k today, the will think you are a mugu, 3 days later they will call with another problem, omo, I decline them one time. No fight in that. As my late papa than will say, keep a percentage of your income monthly to assist people. Once I started doing it, more things fell in. My opinion though. |

He should jus shut up and getat. In Africa,we practise this extended family thing. Ur success is shared by ur extended family just as your sorrow. We are there for each other unlike the oyibos wey dey practice pure nuclear family relationship. If he died now, izit not his family that will gather and bury him? Stingy fella like him Left alone, can he finish the whole money he has before his death? He should just do the best he can and keep kwayet dia,not to come to the media to yarn rubbish which smacks of arrogance. One day, the children of d poor who he didn't help will blow and get even richer than him. The same God Who lifted him is still in the business of lifting others. Let him jus goan siddon |
