Family › Re: Families In Africa Act As If They Own You When You Make Money- Mikel Obi Laments by Catapault: 11:13pm On Nov 18, 2023 |
Morphinne: This is an unpopular opinion and most people won’t like this but you’re defined making sense. Though the entitlement mentality among Africans should not be encouraged (I myself won’t condone it from anyone no matter how close you are) but rich folks should always strive to empower their family members before considering outsiders because your family will always remain your family no matter what. Some people in our society today enjoy being nice towards outsiders and empowering mainly for clout, leaving their families in penury. Mind you, I purposely said ‘empower’ and this is not to be mistaken for just giving and giving each time they ask because I will personally not condone you coming to me for assistance each and every time you need help. I’ll rather find a way to make you financially stable on your own and this will not be done at my own expense. Africans need to do away with this ugly culture of expecting others to provide for them what they can’t provide for themselves. For this guy to say this in public, it’s obvious they’ve choked him. EVERY NATION HAS THAT ''UGLY'' CULTURE. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT IN THE WESTERN WORLD, THE GOVTS ARE RICH ENOUGH TO ''PROVIDE FOR PEOPLE WHAT THEY CAN'T PROVIDE FOR THEMSELVES'', BY HAVING A WELFARE SYSTEM THAT PAYS THE JOBLESS MASSES A MONTHLY STIPEND TO KEEP THEIR HEADS ABOVE WATER, AND EVEN PAYS THEIR HOUSE RENT. IN COUNTRIES WITHOUT A GOVT WELFARE SYSTEM, BE THEY IN AFRICA OR SOUTH AMERICA, SOUTH ASIA ETC, THOSE UNABLE TO LOOK AFTER THEMSELVES, RELY ON, AND EXPECT WEALTHY FAMILY MEMBERS TO STEP IN. THE REASON FOR THE FRICTION IN THE LATTER SCENARIO IS THAT THERE IS NO AGREED SUM OR PERCENTAGE OF THE GIVER'S INCOME THAT SHOULD SUFFICE, WHEREAS IN THE FORMER, THE UNEMPLOYED KNOW EXACTLY HOW MUCH THEY'LL RECEIVE EACH MONTH. |

The Koreans, Japanese, and Chinese, all descend from ancient Nigerian explorers and settlers.
Specifically Nigerians from the south-south/middle belt/ some north east.
The oldest city in China is named Anyang.. Over 2,000 years old
We have a city called Ikot Anyang in Akwa Ibom.
Efik/Ibibio/Annang languages all share numerous identical words with Chinese Mandarin. |

lexy2014: you are getting emotional but getting emotional doesnt answer simple question. kindly answer as enumerated.
1. the topic is about a cemetery. why is the entire Yaba cemetery not like the portion where the British buried their dead?
2. is it wealth and class that made the British part of the cemetery different from the other parts of Yaba cemetery?
3. is it wealthy people that the British people buried in Yaba cemetery?
4. what has "wealth and class" got to do with how the British take care of their dead many years after they are buried?
5. pls define "wealth and class". I’m done with you. Get lost. |

pls define "wealth and class". Of course it is wealth. And wealth gives class. Do you know what the UK’s annual budget is? 2 TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR. For a population of 60 million. When you have that kind of money coming in, your taste and classy outlook will rise, as a country. Nigeria’s annual budget is $40 billion for 220 million people. It’s a pittance for the type of prim and proper services you are demanding. The cost of keeping the garden looking nice will always be an issue for us, for now. We just need to keep growing the economy and expanding away from oil, because that oil money is tiny for our population. |

lexy2014: I never knew they even had a section of the cemetery dedicated to them. it still has a touch of a white man, well manicured and maintained “Touch of a white man”? Asokoro, Abuja is well manicured and maintained. It’s black people that live there. Ikoyi is well manicured and maintained. It’s black people that live there. Banana island is well manicured and maintained. It’s black people that live there. It is about WEALTH and CLASS, not skin colour. If you go to poorer parts of cities in the western world, the white residents don’t ‘manicure’ their gardens if they have any. They don’t give a damn. You will see cigarette stubs all over the place and even empty beer cans. The most they’ll do is cut the grass when it grows too high. |

dahmie2013: This is what Africa has turned to, bunch of beggars. We will lick asses just so we can get money from these people. When will we be truly independent? Other countries call us in the name of "Africa summit" and we rush to attend knowing we can get money from them like beggars. Only when we form a single AFRICAN currency, drastically increase INTRA-AFRICAN trade and TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE AND TRANSFER, and achieve economic centralisation, so that African commodities can command a SINGLE INTERNATIONAL PRICE, set by AFRICA, as opposed to today where we are 'price takers', competing to sell at lower prices to attract foreign buyers to our respective countries.
A form of POLITICAL unification of the continent will be required to keep this all in place.
It will happen in time. |

Right now,palestines are beginning to prostest against hamas while some ignorant fellows are online urging palestines to fight. All this your slavery to Israel.

helinues: This is a religious war.
See, I had this conversation of Palestine and Isreal with some fanatic Muslim outside Nigeria some years ago, They have this passionate hatred for Isreal for what happened in the past, and that's how average fanatic Muslim mindsets are.
Why is Iran having issue with Isreal making peace with Saudi Arabia?
The fanatics Muslim support Palestine while the fanatics Christian support Isreal. Both are bigots
The war is an unending generational war. IT IS BECAUSE THEY STOLE LAND AND MASSACRED PALESTINIANS AND DISPOSSESSED A MILLION OF THEM IN 1948, CONFINING THEM TO LESS THAN ONE-TENTH OF THEIR LAND. HOW DO YOU DO THAT AND EXPECT EVERYONE TO BE PEACEFUL AND HAPPY? AND THEN WHEN THEY FIGHT THE INVADERS YOU CALL THEM TERRORISTS. I JUST DON’T KNOW HOW YOU PEOPLE REASON. TALKING AS IF IT’S NOT THE SAME GOD THAT CREATED PALESTINIANS AS THE SO CALLED ISRAELIS, WHO ARE ACTUALLY JUST THIEVING WHITE COLONIAL INVADERS FROM EUROPE MASQUERADING AS “GOD’S CHOSEN PEOPLE”. |

I have said it, anyone in support of either Hamas or Isreal is a religion bigot.
In a war, there is nothing about who is right but what is left.
Calling a spade what it is is now challenging to some people. You should be ashamed of yourself Emeritus .
Eish Well said. Dershowitz is a racist bigot and religious fanatic. He’s a pure psychopath. Obama should ignore him for the attention-seeking, bloodthirsty devil he is. |

SpaceTour: Onitsha has better roads that Owerri and Aba. Owerri just like aba has the worst roads in southern Nigeria. Overall, Aba has an edge over Owerri because most imo indigenes prefer to live in aba than Owerri. Imo state has failed to develop any town in that state to attract other state indigenes to come live in Owerri just like imo indigenes are trooping to other states to live The sad thing is that Owerri was such a promising place a decade and more ago. If they had continued that momentum, by now Owerri would have been like Abuja. They just elected thieves and crooks to lead their state, that’s why it’s fallen behind. |
