Alamkir: Is it against the constitution in All this Arab countries to have air defense. It's like they like receiving  My brother, I don't even know. I just tire. Any small thing, isreal don blow Lebanon, Syria, Iraq etc as if they are just zombies. Like, Israel will strike you without any retaliation? I just dey shame for them. Honestly, the arabs are very very weak in every endeavor of life. They are just an improved version of Africans. You hardly see them make any meaningful contributions to sport, science, technology etc. Iran is Persian and not Arab and turkey is not Arab too but you see those arabs, very very lazy physically and mentally |

pansophist: Oh, and not only that, but the fact that the dependency increases with time, and until you put a stop to it, they will never voluntarily stand on their own.
Even if they have a source of income, they will hide it and always put up an image of being wretched, helpless, hopeless, that if you don't immediately intervene, all hell will break.
Most people are stone, not seed. In fact even people that are seed are seeds because there is no one to parasite from. Humans by nature are users, it's part of our evolutionary survival mechanism.
And the weaker the person, the more expert they are in the art of being permanently dependent on any willing host. You need a healthy amount of indifference to grow, or else, you'll end up working for people that will ask you, "what have you done for me? "
Learn from animals. Chicken for example will force the chicks I think after like two months or less, to go survive on their own. The mother chicken doesn't care if they die, that's nature doing it's work (survival of the fittest).
I raise chicken as a boy and I observe this dynamics very well. The mama will bite them and just loose love for them one faithful morning, then all the chicks begin to survive on their own.
Deal with humans like that. You must help to a reasonable extent, but if you see any sign that your beneficiary is a stone, my guy, dump him and move on.
Thats exactly what Jesus was explaining in the parable of the barrel fig tree (Luke 13.6-9). No point a barren tree wasting soil, water and resources, cut it off. It's useless. Hmmmmm So true. You raised good points. Happy new year bro |

Laird: Thank You for this educative article. Please a question
1)For a 10 year policy of 100 thousand a year
If nothing happens in 10 years, the policy holder gets 1 million + 10 year cumulated interest
But if something happened to the policy holder in the 3rd year, I understand that the beneficiary gets 100 thousand per year up to the remaining years that is from 4th year to 10th year. When the 10th year is up , does the beneficiary still get anything Yes bro, the beneficiary gets the lump sum and accrued interest |

Greazyman99: You have to focus on yourself. Help in the little way you can but don’t jeopardize your own life for anyone even your sibling. I’m taking from experience. The bastard I was helping through school couldn’t even come out in school was busy spending the weekend I’m elegushi while I was wasting my life doing menial jobs. He did all is best to convince me not to enroll for partime so I could continue funding him. Use ur head That is the most painful thing. Trying to raise someone that is not ready to raise himself. |

PoliteActivist: *Politeness* We all know what you'll do: you'll take care of your brother - because firstborns are generally incapable of putting themselves first. Then other needs will arise from him or other siblings and the cycle goes on. You are not going back to any school  |

Vello: I sacrificed my youth for family. Sponsored one outside the country and another through school (not fully though) gave all my salaries to elder sister for months so she could further her education. I sacrificed all my savings for entire family so we could be the envy of other families. I later secured admission to Unilorin years later, same sister called me bastard when I begged for N5000 loan so I could sustain myself till after exams.
I wish I hadn't remembered we were family
I wish I were as wise as I am now.
Those same siblings today are my strangers far as I'm concerned. They don't even know whether I live or dead. They don't care.
Sacrificing for family is good but, never at the expense of your life goals, dreams and ambition. They would only respect you for what you make of yourself and never for what you do for them.
Far as this topic goes, the choice is yours Hmmmmm, I can relate. I was on your part too but thank God, I had enough time to correct my mistakes. One thing I noticed is that, no matter what you do for family, the last statement will still be "what has he even done sef?" Like the typical African first born, I carried my family on the head when I started working like gala. Roofed my parent house, gave my mum a pathfinder jeep, if any even dey for family like burial, na me go shoulder the lion share - my mama died, na me, my paternal grandfather died 2 years ago, na still me, my junior bro fell sick and I coughed out 1m for his bill in babcork hospital 3 months ago and soooo many other ones yet what did I get back? Oooohhhh, what has he done? Sent my immediate bro to Dubai on work visa at least to start his own life and draw out a map on how he will upgrade from there all just to tell me what have I done? People dey end their family to better country like US and Canada NA surfer head country like UAE I see send am go to go dey slave - this is someone earning 150k equivalent 3 years ago with accomodation aside tips sef. Now he is in Nigeria doing 40k job in a factory in Ogun state roasting. Calling every family members to please beg me to send him back to the same UAE he claims is slavery. Humans.........very very ungrateful. Agreed, UAE no be US but after putting in 5 years, a reasonable person would have saved something reasonable and then ask for family support to a better country. Now, nothing. Shishi him no bring back after 5 years, clubbing and taking hard drugs and to even put salt on the injury, the typical African has a sure standard excuse for his/her calamities.... Spiritual Problem. A man fails to keep his job because he is not dedicated......it is a Spiritual attack A man fails in business for may factors or reason...... It is a Spiritual attack A man falls on okada while going home....it is a Spiritual attack A man dies of headache despite not going to hospital for diagnosis due to poverty..... It is a Spiritual attack A man was denied visa despite not meeting the visa requirement.... It is a Spiritual attack. Why were you denied when some got the visa that particular day. Which head de get wey you no get. A man is struggling to secure a job in a country with little factories and companies....it is a Spiritual attack. How come some are getting jobs in this same Nigeria wey you ey complain say work no dey. Etc Abeggiiiii |

Acidosis: Nobody will respect you because of what you did some 25 years ago. If your life turns out bad because you spent your youthful days trying to lift others, be rest assured that the people you "lifted" will someday become tired of your excesses. More often than not, they'll ignore you and your calls.
People (siblings inclusive) will only respect what you make of your life and career, not the school fees you paid 35 years ago.
Just make sure you don't become poor or a liability in the process, else...! Exactly and they will even ask you "what have you done for them?" After placing the family on head like gala. That statement is not even new to me anymore. I still heard it 3 days ago even from my own dad, so it doesn't bother me anymore |

A dog in Nigeria can be a lion abroad You are like the proverbial tortoise, the local pot seller that was asked how much is a pot and he answered the child is sick. What is the correlation between the cost of a pot and a sick child? I replied a comment about a moniker who says splitting the country into a smaller version is the solution to the present problem and you are replying me with how someone who japa is doing better and sending money home than is nija counterpart. Is there any correlation between the 2? Do you now see why many student fail waec and jamb?

greenermodels: Honestly, Nigeria have never worked, Nigeria is not working and Nigeria would never work, let's peacefully break up this country so that smaller, more manageable true nations can emerge from it. If you are struggling to make ends meet in the present day Nigeria, I doubt you will do any better with a smaller country. If no custom and immigration embargos at border, cheap national calls to Lagos or Calabar instead of being expensive international call, if searching for jobs in a bigger country with Kano, Lagos, PH etc is not favouring you, if movement of cheaper foods without borders from north to South vice versa is hard for you, I doubt a smaller version of the country will be for you. A man that is finding it hard to make head way in current Germany with opportunities of been in European union/shenghen will hardly make it in an isolated Germany with borders and embargos from the other 28 euro countries |
