It's his family ...he shouldn't generalize it.....besides if he is the richest in the family, what stops him from elevating the rest, there's a reason why you were wealthy and your wealth isn't meant for you alone, you have to help the rest to a certain level so they don't always come for help, when I say help I don't mean giving them 50 thousand and you'd think you've done the world for them, yes it's a thing of choice, but only one tree can not make a forest.

Obi has not helped his family, he has only give them money. With the kind of wealth Obi has I believe it is enough to establish even 20 of his siblings with 5 million naira each and tell them not to ask him for money again and definitely Obi will not feel he has spent money unless he decided to pretend there's no money

On a thread like this, you still couldn't help yourself??! Seriously?!!

Quite true. Nobody owes one anything. With making moves to better version of oneself everyday.

Focusmind:
I could not agree more with him. Well stated, especially from my own experience. You will see those family members that are asking for help breeding kids like rabbits. Once dem born, they will call you for support. It is terrible! One even had the boldness to call for money to do 75th birthday celebration for his mum....someone that have not been able to pay his kids school fees wants to do owambe party for his mum.

Akagum!

if u have give, if u nor get, don't sweat over it!

His very own father demanded a transport business with new busses

Was that too much of his father to ask? How many weeks wages of his would that be? When you're not a generous type, you're not. Even your parents would be asking themselves their sins against you.

If your family is not entitled to you especially your bloodlines, who will?

It is a blessing to be in the position of giving rather than receiving.

For me, family first (extended families and kinsmen).

What is the money meant for since we are going to be here forever?

Calculate the cost of 10 new busses... or even 5, hummer bus ooo, not to talk of building or renting a space

That's for him. For me, it's not like that at all. I appreciate my mum and she in turn appreciate my little. Same goes for all my siblings. There is never this entitlement syndrome. Best family there could be is what I got.

Of course you belong to your family. They own you. And is your responsibility to make your family smile before you consider strangers. Build your family I'm not saying you must grant every request but try for your family because when you die na still that family go reciprocate. Some rich men impress the streets and let the family suffer then when they fall off.
Mikel particularly is a stingy guy, compare him to Mane from Senegal in terms of being charitable. Mikel would rather spend millions on a whip for model than support his family.
Don't downplay family, family is everything

Nah... Mikel has done and is still doing awesomely for his family. I know this for a fact, except you are talking about something or people beyond family.

With regard to Mane, everyone is not philanthropic and should never be compelled to do so... Philanthropy is not a function of wealth. Mane has been helping his people long before he became wealthy and successful... He even said they sponsored him abroad by contributing massively.

Mikel doesn't owe anyone outside his immediate family a damn thing! Period!

Let's cut out this poor habit of calling people stingy just because they don't throw money around. It makes no sense.

He doesn't like to give back to the society, he doesn't like to help, that's all. We have some of his colleagues helping their entire villages, communities, they don't even limit the help to their family members alone.

Please, please, helping family is a different thing. Multiplying the burden on one person is another. You don't keep giving birth expecting someone else to come and take care of the family size you keep growing. You don't sit tight and believe you have to remain lazy and keep feeding off one person to keep working his ass off for you. It is wrong absolutely insane

if you lived in Jos you would have known how much he has invested in that family, especially the fleet of luxurious buses he bought to setup a transport company for the father.
His siblings lives flamboyant lifestyles and they are well known in Jos, you can ask anyone who lived or still lives in Jos.

nedekid:
While he said is true talk no doubt, but he should also put himself in their shoes, what if he was the relative and his eg brother was the sucessful one?

Before u take responsibilities that are more than what you can bear, think twice ok.

U born more than you can take care and expecting someone to come and feed them for you because he is rich and related to you? That's pure nonsensical!


Money that man owns, he has obligation for his wife, kids and parents. Any other person is secondary oga.

His f*cking opinion and doesn't count!
God blessed you to bless others!

useni1:
The family institution should be abolished. The interest of others and humanity should come first before yours or any useless family members

What you said here doesn't make sense, please read what you wrote again

Abolish family ? What is family

The interest of others and humanity should come first before family

Who are the others if I may ask ? And is family not part of humanity?

Whalis:
Mikel wouldn't have become a player of repute without a family member introducing him to NFF. Here is Africa. You don't need to reciprocate good gestures on the person who helped you it might be another family member. A family member took Mikel's father to Jos. This is Africa.

So??! Virtue rewards itself.

That someone was helped shouldn't put him under compulsion to help another... I have helped so many people, and never expect or demand a damn thing from them. Besides, it's not like you ended or sold up your life's work to help the person.

Do your good, and leave the beneficiary to decide how, when or if he will show gratitude or repay.

Entitlement is too much in this part of the world, and it makes no sense.

This is why many young men run away from home and their communities.

Ok

When was that again? Like ages ago! Even nowadays, you think 5 to 10 hummer buses is too much to establish his own father? He doesn't need to buy new buses, Toks are perfectly okay.
Now, calculate the cost of 10 new or Toks of hummer buses and the space to use as motor park, and tell me if it is up to his two weeks wages. For your own parent!

vickydevoka:

When you give each member of your family 500 million each n pay them salary at your active years. The moment you stop when you retire. Just know you are an enemy

It is so sad and annoying...!

Some even fold their hands, and wait on the young man or woman for monthly stipends like it's their entitlement or inheritance by law.

This is why I have had to seriously thin down my circle of close associates in the last decade.

Normally, I despise begging and beggars... But, to go beyond begging to making demands or laying claims to portions of my wealth?!! That's abominable!

Talking about family like this with earnings of 500millon In a week. I read somewhere, stop dashing family money rather set them up.

Sisters and cousins education outta the country so they can continue their life from there other setup avenue. Well na you get money sha and na you get family sha. So you can talk as you like. Money dey finish na family dey remain oooo,

Words of a stingy man

Welrez:
This culture has a hand in why Africans don't save enough to invest, and why a lot of investments go into ruins!

The basic reason why most working and earning young men and women can never grow to heights of wealth... Money meant for savings goes to giving to begging and entitled family members and friends every single month. It's preposterous.

The Church dey there too dey collect their share steadily.

Mindlog:


I used that brain to learn how the brain works and after being certified, now assessing how other people's brain works, is how I earn my daily bread......so make another attempt to "insult" me.

On a lighter note, I have had numerous psychiatric patients who I have worked with tell me your exact same words and I always jokingly replied them, working with you here in the psychiatric facility is me making use of my brain.

Apt!

Ethically, you full ground.

Wealth and riches don't last forever....

They can grow wings and fly away when you least expect.

Hope mikel invested his football money well.

As for the family entitlement mentality which he's complaining about, it's a personal thing o.

Nobody can force you to help your folks.

Factorial 👌

DyshApp:
Former Chelsea star, Mikel Obi, has stirred reactions online following an attack against demanding family members that act entitled.

In an interview with fellow football player Rio Ferdinand, the former captain of the Super Eagles bemoaned the fact that, in Africa, families frequently have the right to inherit an individual’s wealth.

Video:https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/1725199091146096677?t=V8XwUnfMWuCSb-JMaBXMvw&s=19

According to him, when an African person gets money, many cousins and relatives start to make demands, and some of sisters married men who just wanted to related to him because of his status.

The football player said that he sometimes had to be tough and set aside his personal demands since these people have so many children and need him to take care of them.

Mikel Obi stated that these extended family members believe he owes them money and threaten to go to the press if he refuses. It is prevalent in Africa, according to the football player.

In his words;

“When you come from Africa, when you make money, it’s not your money. You have all these relatives, cousins, and your sisters go off and get married to some guy who just wants to get married into Mikel John Obi’s family because his life is sorted, and then you start looking after this guy, and before you know it, they keep having so many kids and you look at it like,

‘Okay, you’re having this many kids, who are going to look after them?’ It’s you! It’s the culture because, for them, you owe them that, so sometimes you have to be strong and say, ‘You know what, guys, enough is enough; I don’t care’. They give you this thing whereby ‘if you don’t do it, we’re going to go to the press’. After all, what have I done for you guys? But this happens a lot in Africa. Not everybody comes out and speaks about it.”

Is this true😂

it depends, if you are capable of helping someone even if it is not your family member, as long as you ve seen the potential in the person you do it. one of the reasons why God gave you excess is to reach out to people you are better than, you must not enjoy your money only you, talk more of your family members. though there is something Mikel said there that makes sense to me, he said the will start to have more children in the name of their brother is rich and all will depend on you, HMMM is somehow though

Mindlog:


Stop comparing Mikel to Mane and compare Mikel to yourself or are you not a man like him?

Tell us how you have bought fleet of brand new buses for your family to manage a transport company.

Tell us how you have pumped in millions in funding, to set up a music recording company for your brother.

Tell us how you have funded your siblings luxurious lifestyles.

One: he didn't claim he has capacity to do all that. Mikel has the capacity. That's a difference.
Two. The person who made the demand wasn't just someone you can tag "family". He's his father!
