You people should stop this rubbish!

I have female friends, colleagues at work, coursemates from school dashing me money.
Recently, my female Boss dashed me money, and my Father was marvelled at her generosity, that he bought her bush meat to thank her for treating me like her own child.

Maybe you should change the circle of female friends you hangout with.

God forgive me o. Someone once reached out to me and I decided to go through his posts. He said vagina people don’t ever give anything, that we are naturally cruel to ourselves and to men. I checked and saw I still have a vagina. Make I just dey my dey.

She's a misandrist. Seems that her father abandoned them or did something terrible.

There's no way a woman who hated men can succeed in this life.

it's subjective

to the financial capabilities of the parents in the now

parents who toiled to bring their kids up
the children as a matter of fact

MUST do their best to make sure that burdens are eased off their parents in cash and kind


but if the parents are well off,
the children can give as they can

Yes, those kids can easily misbehave. Yes I know of a 20 year old boy assisting his father with bills and seriously misbehaving. The dad is a single dad with 8 children. He has 3 jobs but finds it difficult to make ends meets.
The 20 year old boy graduated from high school, started working ( 2 jobs) and assisting his father with some bills but disrespects his dad at the slightest provocation.
Never, I mean never will be child contribute to the well-being of the house when I am still alive.
Come to think of it, what are the responsibilities of the supposed parents?
Once my children are old enough to work, they will definitely go look for apartments and be responsible.
There is a caveat though. If I live in Lagos and my kids are grown up, still single and working in the same city before they stand on their feet, yes, they can support me at will. That’s different from when are saddled with my responsibilities when I am not bed ridden.

Very well spoken...I’ve seen some cases too and It’s bewildering...

Its called being part of the family community. Ideally a child starts contributing from when he or she can start handling things, speak and wanting to imitate older folks in the family. From age 2 plus (dependent on the child's mental development) the child's ability to drop/contribute must be stirred with simple acts like Go and give this to Mummy, bring that spoon; ya, we re cleaning the house etc, This little commands, little children will love to participate in, cause they are in that stage where imitation is their stage. As children grow in age, their capacity for contribution also grows...they learn to cook, dust the house, wash the car, change the wheel, go to the grocery store, get sent to pay bills, supervise a repair in the house. Soon as such start earning money, the prior socialization of contributing should not be hard to transit into. Before being formally asked to contribute, which should not be the case anyway, such child can simply take the initiative of starting with something as basic as buying the milk/eggs for the family use that week... It can also be getting/paying for the broadband/wifi, paying for the cable...little stuff that, though insignificant, go a long way... do that as a young lad/lass and your folks wont think about kicking you out - afterall you re being valuable...all these are the ideal...however, the reality is parents leave the moral training of their wards to society, to that teacher who is only there to get paid,to that housemaid from a dysfunctional background who is there to only implant her strange ways unto your kid, to that Telly/Youtube/Social Media who are there to massively indoctrinate vanity and self gratification as paramount, even to that relative who is addicted to porn/masturbation, alcohol, materialism etc all these confuse and derail us to thinking and becoming self entitled...thinking everyone has to do or give to us first before we can give anything back even at that...when it is convenient...

To be told to give back, is one of two things, you were given but not aware you should give back or you were not given at all and so, you cannot give back...either way, society is built around giving and receiving, what and when to give can be determined long before

Children shouldn't be a burden to parents. Ever! This is exactly why family planning is being advocated.

I get your point tho. A working child should be able to contribute one or two things at home. But it shouldn't be compulsory.

The fundamental duties of any parent is to take care of the children needs. The role should never be reversed.

O think it's about reciprocity than mandatory or obligation due to a higher ability at this point. They cared for u and when u had the opportunity u cared back for them.

A working child should be running his own household/home.. We are talking of adult children here and no parent owes an adult child jack. But we give support out of love here and not duty/obligation.
He/she should not be a burden on the parents.
Joshua has no understanding of the Nigerian life and his message is for his UK followers, where he was raised. He was raised with British values since he moved as a boy.
He is right when he says young people (in UK) still stay back at home despite working in order to save up for their own mortgage.
However, their parents are still working hard into their 70s to finish paying up their own mortgage. Any little amount such a child drops will be well appreciated. Those who decide to work abroad and not be on benefits are really hard workers.
I see too many older people who tell me they've been working since they were 16 years till 64/66 years when they retired. They rely on their pension which isn't much, and if any child decides to stay with them, they can barely feed themselves and such a grown child on that pension even if their mortgage has been fully paid.
Many have had to go back working part time after retirement, in their old age o because its necessary they do so, and not because of boredom.

kiss Awesome father you've got there. Many senseless offsprings focus on others' rich dad's and look down on their father for being poor. If only they knew that many rich dads got rich by being heartless using their Children for money rituals, they would be rolling and thanking their godly fathers for prioritizing treasuring them than money and material things.
