I have 3 daughters that I raise. Maybe there's one or two that I don't know .....

basilico:
What part dont you understand.
He got $8 billion from the state govt.
Then kicked pensions down the road.
The rest of the money is revenue he expects to raise this year with the rich people's tax. He hasn't collected a cent but he factored it in the budget.
I bet you know what shelving pensions mean.

Ekubo was a dignified man

He just went quietly after his diagnosis 18 months ago. Never once fundraised, never once sought public sympathy or put financial pressure on his colleagues or the wider public to help him out

If you saw how he maintained himself, you will know he was an old school ninja that believes in the grind and cutting his cloth to size. He drove the same Chevy Camaro for almost a decade, before Netflix started paying, then he upgraded to a Range quietly while keeping the old Chevy which must now be over 15 years old.

Even when his ex fiance threw dirt on his name, he kept a dignified silence. She was the one who later came back and apologised publicly and he accepted her apology and gave her his blessing

Na man him be.

basilico:
Correction.
He was bailed out . New York Governor Hochul gave him $8 billion after pressure from Democrats in the upcoming election.
The rest he kicked the can down the road by restructuring.
At the end his promises of free everything was rescheduled.

As Cococandy said earlier, legacy is hardly about children.

It's not merely in the continuance of a lineage

Legacy is often incorporeal. It's the customs that begin to govern a people, subtly or overtly...

It's an inheritance of whatsoever, that posterity benefits from...

It's the totality of privileges that a people enjoy long after the originator/enabler is gone.

Some people's legacies will be felt globally

Some nationally, regionally, among distinct groups...

Some in just their families...

At whatever scale, what good continues long after you're gone?

Think Abraham, think King David, think Ruth, think Martin Luther King Jnr, think Barack Obama...

My own maternal grandmother left a legacy. She was a unifying force in my family. She could get the toughest of relatives to do anything because she was deeply respected and kind and had clean hands. She was a mother to family and beyond. She lived a life in her days that challenged her children, grandchildren & great grandchildren to not be mediocre.

Till today, her name grants us favours in certain quarters.
****************

The bible says that a good man is an inheritance (legacy) to his children but the wealth of the sinner eventually goes to the righteous (Prov 13:22). The inheritance of the righteous is beyond money.

But wicked people can ONLY at best have money. And that soon goes away.

Some of the people who die and there's a stirring... it's only because they're popular. What positive impact did they really make? Only a matter of time, the world moves on and they're forgotten.

******************
There are countless people who didn't have biological children, but their names are etched in the sands of time --- Mary Slessor, Oprah Winfrey, Isaac Newton... to mention but a few

The question that should keep us all awake and on our toes is ---- "What will I be remembered for LONG after I'm gone?"

GloriousGbola:
these ones think that all you need to do is bring a human being into the world and then leave it to fend for itself. even the lower animals take care of their offspring till adulthood

oddly enough they are the same people who knock single mothers in different discussions

Yorubastardz:
Atleast have a seed that continues your legacy.

MemoriesAndMe:
Surrogacy is not illegal in Nigeria. If you can afford it, go for it. You dont rven havr to know the mother. Just be ready to take care of the baby all alone.

When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit. Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.

We didn’t close the gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing.

Call it Pothole Politics. Call it Democratic Socialism. It’s government that delivers for the people who make this city run.

That’s what New Yorkers deserve. And that’s what we will keep fighting for every single day.

basilico:
These stories were released a day before the Report of Oct 7 investigation.
I can stomach reading anything fictional but not what those Hamas animals did to men, women and children on that day.

IjeBos:
And of course.
The person Trump called dumb was a black woman.

The guy standing next to Trump’s pastor is a bitcoin billionaire named Brock Pierce. He is a former child actor. He and two other guys once had to flee the country to avoid charges for crimes against children, which he later settled. More recently, he was noted in the Epstein files for his email conversations with Jeffrey Epstein, where he promised to “gift” Epstein 20 Ukrainian women for a European trip. Now he’s standing in line with religious leaders to cut the ribbon for the new Trump statue. In broad daylight.

IjeBos:
Holy lack of self-awareness.

Trump is obviously being blackmailed. Trump is obviously making choices that only serve Russia, Israel and the Epstein class.

You were all fooled MAGA. You worship the most corrupt and compromised public figure in American history.

You were brainwashed by an Australian billionaire’s media apparatus and social media influencers paid by Russia to convince you to defend, no matter what he does, an adjudicated rapist and fraud. A man who is owned by Russia, Israel and all the Epstein class billionaires.

But you’ll never admit it. You’ll never step back and go, damn, they made me spend 4 years afraid of a trans girl in a swimming pool so the Epstein class could bleed the world dry for their own benefit.

You’ll never admit an immigrant isn’t the problem, but the real villains are the people profiting off yours and the immigrant’s labor while leaving you with half the resources you should have.

You’ll constantly attack the “woke” college kid when that kid never hurt you. What hurt you was the billionaires who buried you and the college kid under mountains of debt for simply trying to live the American dream.

Now you are actually defending us all paying double for gas and fighting another useless foreign war when two years ago you swore you were supporting trump for lower gas and food prices and to not end up in another useless foreign war.

What a pathetic lot you are.

This cat couldn't compete in Nigeria. So begged and jumped through hoops to migrate to the US.
Came to the US and I'm sure used programs that were set up and meant to benefit Black Americans to get ahead even though he didn't grow up in the environment that those programs were meant to help people from.
Probably bought a house with one of those programs.
May have went to school with one of those programs.

And now that he has a little success, he is trashing those people who fought and battled to set up those programs while defending the people who never wanted him here.

That's the utterly contemptuous part of all this
