No. If it does, those actors and actresses who are popular but poor wouldn't be out there begging

I thought as much. But why do many of us wants to get fame?

So, I was thinking out loud on my desk this morning and this keep ringing in my head

I've known quite number of people, who are extensively wealthy and enjoying life, but they're not famous, they don't even post or update on their social media platform.

I've also seen lots of popular people/celebrities, who can not afford medical treatment. Live good life due to financial hindrance.
Some celebrities, rent/borrow clothes, chains, wrist watches even shoes to functions, music videos, photoshoot and make the society believe it's theirs.

This days, almost everyone wants to trend.
Some ladies, do all manner of cra.zy things in the name of content creation, to gain Fame online
So many parents wants their little children to get famous so, they can have breakthrough from poverty.
My question is this,
Dose fame really bring wealth? If yes, How?
Why does most famous people in reality, poor?
Would you prefer to be rich and have a quiet life or famous, known everywhere, but financially not stable?
What are the benefits of being popular?
Share your opinion. Let's learn.

@Reality3080, the question is, who are the people these ladies indulge in all these with? Your fellow men.

Many of our men today are lazy and in responsible. They deliberately abandon child's responsibilities to the women.
I wish they's a strong law that can compare everyone to take responsibility of child's upbringing so long as you can birth them in Nigeria.

Maybe is time to do away with the big generator in the house.....

I recently had heart attack for 4 days resulting from wrong injections and overdose. My test results were horrible and I called, texted and chatted up my lovely friend who is a medical doctor, whom I have sacrified all for both in cash and in kind but she ignored me, I only needed her to guide me medically, interpret my results for me and suggestion another good hospital I could use since we reside in the same state but she never showed any concern. I almost lost my life when I was poorly managed in a hospital until another person refered me to very good hospital that is currently managing my case. This person still don't show any concern and if I had died now, she would been posting my pics everywhere. Note: I never let her down whenever she needs me both in cash and in kind and I only needed her medical counsel. Over 1.5m spent already but I'm glad that I'm alive and active.

Just forget people but pray and work hard.

Too bad. Sorry for what you're going through and hope you're improving?

Mgbawu man.
Any man wey dey beat him wife.ogun go kill am.
If your wife dey also beat you.ogun go still kill you.

I no understand this your prayer o

Mothers are busy training lazy male children.

In my opinion, too much attention is being given to the ladies on how to be a good wife, but men on the other hand, are not being thought on how to become a better husband. Any unproductive young man, is advised to get a wife inorder for him to behave well, whereas, in most cases, he will later torment the woman.
What you're not as a single person, it's hard to suddenly become it in marriage.

Skyview01:
It is not an opinion but a fact that parents give birth to children. It is also not an opinion but a fact that parents should be responsible for their children.

What about those who have no parents? Who should take care of them?

Skyview01:
Your parents brought you into this world and are directly responsible for you.

They can use protection during sex if they don't want to be responsible for any child.

Its that simple.

Your opinion and view anyway.
It's cool.

Skyview01:
I totally agree with you.

The op still has this entitlement mentality that drives me crazy.

Why does a family member feel entitled to my money when they never gave me a dime?

You are only entitled to your parents money until you become an adult.

No one is entitled to anybody's money. Not even your parents.

I'm only viewing it from a different perspective.

Family members should be there for each other. Period.

Samantha124:
But why feel entitled to another person's hard earned money?

Why not go to those churches whose pastors receive plenty of offerings every Sundays? Because that money is the one that is supposed to help needy people.

Nothing like entitlement mentality.
I don't want to talk about church side at all. Every member of a church, first come from a family.

ZIMDRILL:
Life is a bit complex, as children we usually see life from our parents point view aka they tell you their own version of events and as children we believe them as their are the first people you trust

There is a reason/s why he was neglected when he was alive, its only the dead and the other relatives that knows the truth

Having a rich relatives does t make you rich too, we have gift in making money, if you are
not gifted in making money in your gifted way, even if you are given millions you will blow as you wouldnt be gifted in also making wise decisions with money

There are lots of people who have won the lottery, but failed to manage it and end up being broke more, having rich relatives does make you rich by default

But what exactly could prevent a wealthy man who have enough food to share for people whom he knew not, but can't give the same food to his hungry only brother? What could that be?

Exmilitant:
Depends on the poor relatives.

I have an older cousin who sold lot of lands,
in PH in those days when land selling was the thing among Ikwerre men.

did you know that this man is still a pauper? he has four children and none of them could scale through the university!

would you help such a man? a man who sold more than 25 plots of land including that of his widowed sister and consumed the money without a thought about his future?

whenever he dies we will contribute money for a befitting burial and if his children disagrees they can fu..ck off!!

He did not plan very well at all. And the worst thing that can happen to a parent with children, is not training them in school. At least his children would have been educated and seeing life differently. Take for example, some Abuja indigent who dashed out their lands to some non indigenous people far back, some sold their lands at cheap prices and migrated to their villages, some of these people who were able to train their children in school, most of their grown up, educated children returned back to reclaimed their parents properties and saving their family from poverty.

Xammie001:
THEY ARE MAD NI, I TOLD ALL MY FAMILY MEMBER NOT TO CONTRIBUTE ANY MONEY FOR MY DAD'S BURIAL AND MY WEDDING BECAUSE LATER IN THE FUTURE NOW THEY WILL BE YEARNING GAS.
WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY AND GO TO THEM THEY WON'T HELP BECAUSE THE WORLD WON'T SEE THEM BUT ANYTHING PARTY THEY WILL DO IT GRACIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY WILL HAVE PROOFS AND EVIDENCES TO SHOW THEY HELPED YOU.

Too bad. Besides, those proofs and evidence can't live forever.

travsco43:
It is the poor mentality of ourselves.

When family members get rich, they believe they have the means of survival and everyone should be on his/her own.

But upon death or a life threatening incident, the feel pity and try to help.

It's just the foolishness of life.

My thought exactly. Someone you can't help why he/she is alive, why helping to give a befitting burial?

Moh247:
No family is obligated to help you, help only who helped you... You are not God

Then what are we family for?

Moh247:
Nobody is obligated to help you... Not your family, friends or relatives

If you make human Investment, you will get human to pick you back up

I have a very wealthy uncle in the 80s and 90s who married a woman our grandmother opposed their marriage because several spiritualist warned strongly against it.

Due to this fact my uncle neglected his own mother and their last born who was just finishing secondary school.

My mother and Father a federal civil servants took my other uncle in and my grandma visited from time to time and we all survived on the Fed civil servants salary..

Soon after school my little uncle got a Job in a fed ministry, met a wife also working and started his life

But why? Why? Family members are to help each other. Don't you think it's the mentality of ''everyone ought to be on their own'' that has caused us too much struggles?

This has nothing to do with entitlement mentality.

No one is an island and we all need each other to live peacefully.
So, a man died in my neighborhood and his children has forbidden their rich and wealthy uncles from contributing to the burial. Accordingly to the children, their poor father died of starvation, which they have been appealing to relatives, also his only brother who works in an oil company in PH for assistant and he has always promised to help, but never did. This uncle happens to be the first person to send an ambulance to convey the corpse to the village, and the children rejected his offer.
I don't understand. Why do we have rich family members, friends, yet we suffer poverty?
Why is it always easy for people who can save their fellow humans from death, starvation, depression always ignore them, but once he/she dies, it's easy to raise money for burial.

Even on social media, we bully, humiliate each other, push some people into depression with our words and write up, but once the person commit succid, we tend to start posting pics with lovely write ups. Condemning their suicidal action and blaming them for not voicing out?
why? Is it our environment, social way of behaving?

Have you ever experience any of this? Can you share such experience?
What's your general opinion about this?

Thank God for healing

Be financially stable. Inorder words, be doing something that fetches you money either you're the man or the woman. It's very important.

Marry a kind person. Someone that easily forgive. Someone that have the same family value as yours.
Never marry anyone that will make you turn all your family members to enemy.
Above all, go close to your creator to help you decide on the appropriate person you NEED, because he is your creator, he knows better.
Good luck

Why don't you marry her all along? Why rushing now? Are you really stressing yourself up because you love to spend the rest of your life with her or because you want to travel along?

Serious minded women hate men leaching around them pls

It is a general problem. It's a problem in the whole world right now.
Due to the fact that love for one another is going into extinction, Everyone wants relationship and marriage for his/her selfish reason.
true love in real life is becoming difficult.
The greatest miracle in this generation right now, is, finding someone who love you, care for you and take you the same way you do to them.


True love is scares. Just manage

That's not a partner at all. Maybe roommate

IyaebeTheGreat:
The guy looks like he has anger issues, those very aggressive kind of guy. Well the lady looks very cool, equation balanced. Happy Married life to them

Lol. How do you know by mere seeing his picture? Nau wao.
Is this how you access people?

Wao. I'm already feeling happy and proud reading.
We are great nation in deed, but bad governance is the only barrier we have in this country.
