Avoid and remain poor na..

You think anything on earth beats human resource and quality of relationships you have with other people

You think someone that is termed "poor" because he or she doesn't have money don't have other ways they are indispensable

There are problems money cannot and won't solve..quality relationship can do.

If you think you are poor...make sure you are useful in other ways...with that, luck and fortune can smile on you

As long as not having money is concerned, you're poor. It doesn't matter how you spin the word "poor", it is always associated with not having money.

If you are the poorest amongst your siblings or not doing well financially, avoid family gatherings until you have money - Nigerian lady says

Do not go close to where the food and drinks are being served, sit at a corner and observe. Stop setting yourself up for insults.

Yes when you have wealth you have siblings both biological and non biological. The late Ethnomusicologist Dr.Morocco Nwamaduka sang it in one of his music.Onye nwe ego onwe nwanne.

You're very correct. There's this song by a certain ragga musician with the lyrics.....Slow Motion is better than No Motion. Which means, every progress matters, however little

If you have to avoid family gathering because you are poor, then your family is nothing to write home about to begin with.

Just keep pushing.....it could be depressing. I always feel for married men in this situation. They wouldn't want to let their wives or children down before their co-wives, cousins and distant relatives, thus increasing the financial pressure on themselves. Remain strong bro!

It is like that. Once your finances are not adding up, you will take the anger on something else, even taking the anger on your children. We all face it once in a while. I have had situation I shouted at my daughter or son for something that didn't warrant me raising my voice at them. But I was under the influence of something that was bothering me then. Just remain strong and avoid occasions that would warrant any anger. I avoid trouble at all cost, even at my own loss

Good advice, people should learn to respect themself, irrespective of their class and positions
Re: If You Are The Poorest Amongst Your Siblings Avoid Family Gatherings. by Greenfaces: 8:28pm On Jan 01
SWATMan:


Wealth and privilege can insulate ones experience of how the world works and obscure the realities of marginalization. There is also some scientific evidence that wealth and privilege can reduce empathy and compassion for those less fortunate.

The combination of assuming everyone has the same rights, privileges and opportunities, ignorance of differential treatment/exclusion/discrimination, victim blaming and a belief that hard work is always a path to success makes it easier to justify the differences between people and focus energy on policy that helps those who are perceived as helping themselves or contributing to society (and ignore those who are not).

Before you argue about poor people who made it big - there is a big difference between temporary poverty and marginalization, so I’m not talking about the rags to riches crowd. Marginalization can be crippling, learn about it before you judge people it has nothing to do with tribe or region. When you are poor you become powerless and when you are powerless, you become desperate! This is psychology and not social studies.⁷

Successful people are not better, they don’t work harder, and they are not more deserving, they are just lucky.

No matter how organised and loving your family is, and you happen to be the poorest, there's a level of respect you will get and it won't go beyond a certain point especially when you are in your 30's and above. This is a fact, if you like argue it.

You don't expect every family to walk in the same trend or lift styles as your family.

There are family who shares bond despite they are not equal.
Deal with your family issue, don't extend your problem to us

Simple and short.
Re: If You Are The Poorest Amongst Your Siblings Avoid Family Gatherings. by SPAMBOX7: 10:54am On Jan 02
So even families have preferential treatment for their own. Just imagine.
Now tell me why you want the society to smile at you for being a failure. Omo in this life you either make it or you are nothing to anyone..not even your family.

Keep deceiving yourself. She posted nothing but the truth and it happens in most households. It's human nature and our shortcomings and not necessarily hatred for the disadvantaged person.

My brother, I repeat, not all families. I am even from a polygamous home. Our eldest is the 'poorest' and a woman who didn't marry or have a child. We all love and respect her. In our family, everybody 'hides' their wealth that we can't even tell who is richer. Nobody is oppressing anybody. Those that don't have are not calling others to disturb them because we know even dangote has challenges even if they are not financial challenges. I have being both poor and rich as an adult in this family. Nobody respected me anymore or less at both levels. We don't all have the same realities, everybody is different.

Bros, when God picks your call, change the narrative. When they give you two pieces of meat as you have arrived, give your plate to the poorest and collect his. A life free of oppression is the best life. I made more money in 2023 and literally stopped going to parties. I wear my slippers to church, no more heels and I trek, I leave my car at home. People are asking me now what I am using or eating that I look younger. My brother, na peace of mind free from oppressing people and people oppressing me.
