This Spambot is a pain- point I have an idea how to resolve around it, with Chrome extension and all. Maybe we can use that for all side project idea, because it's embarrassing for Seun not to do anything about it, and I am calling his name, because this is embarrassing.

We don't get to choose how we grow old. Not everything is about money.
There are old rich people who can't care for themselves. If you can't rely on your children to care for you in old age, then there's no point in having them.

Dailyparrot:
The truth is, out of ten children, the probability of having bad ones is higher. In fact, it is even worse that sometimes, one of those children will be dysfunctional (slowpoke) human being.

Having gone through the topics of the poster, I cannot but agree with him in many things.

If you ever come from a large family, you will understand better.

I come from a family of ten with me being the last child. My mother died living alone in the village. My sisters' children were up to 12 years then but none agreed to take their child(ren) to the village to go and stay with my mother.

My brother is so rich that he pays 6 months electricity bill for everyone in our community while giving my mother just 15k for Christmas.

When my mother fell ill, he took her to one local hospital in our village and dumped her there while drinking and merrying at home with friends.

My sister asked him for 17k to buy a drug that my mother needed and he grudgingly brought it out while saying that that was the last money on him.

Well, I will tell you that my mother died out of anger and frustration. My brother spent over 2 million during my mother's burial. The burial brochure and funeral oration omitted the hospital that she died in because it's such a shame to write.

I tried as much as I can but sadly I only just graduated from the university and yet to serve before she died.

I have said this and I will continue to say it to anyone that cares to listen, CHILDREN ARE NOT INVESTMENT.

Live life with yourself as a priority. Wife, husband, children, will all think of themselves first before you.

It's because African parents see children as investment that make them experience what OP's mother experienced: disappointed, betrayal, despair, hopelessness at old age.

Your children will first think of their comfort, their spouse, children and in laws before considering the parents that raised them.

Many complain of their parents being a burden, that they have lived their own life and should allow them to live theirs. Some will secretly be wishing the parents to die so they will abdicate themselves of the responsibility of taking care of them.

When my mom died, all my siblings were saying is that, it's her time, it's God's wish, she knows she will die, etc. All these to justify the fact that she wasn't cared for as she should and I am confident that my mother would still be alive today if she was given the care that she needed.

This is one of the major reasons for low life expectancy in Africa.

Someone up there mentioned old people's home. That is non existent in Africa thus parents stay locked up in their room alone feeling dejected and abandoned.

I will definitely have children but not more than 3 and I will not lay my life down for them like my mother did only to be met with disappointment.

Funnily, when you are training those children, you will hear them making promises of how they will reward and take care of you once they start earning, but immediately they get employed, they will realize they need a girlfriend, a wife, a car, etc.

The tiniest fraction of their income is what they give to the parents once in a while. Maybe during festive periods.

It's sad

No it isn’t.
I don’t know how it got to this angle. If you are born with a silver spoon, you have lot of benefits at your disposal, the most important which is how the rich think and act. You also have direct access to money that can aid thing u wanna do with ur life. Poor people think wealth is about money only . It isn’t

As for the Almajiris, if you don’t break the poor man’s mentality and learn how rich people do their things, sorry ur chances of making it out of that situation is as close to zero.

Opportunity comes but once is a faulty wuote, rather we get several opportunities everyday of of life but it takes only a trained eye and mind to see and implement, a skill rich people have developed.
Most times, our background and what we have learned from out childhood days influences how we think and act, and if we don’t unlearn somethings, one could never actually make it except probably by lottery or God’s grace.
People stay too much in their comfort zone, and in this world, u will remain poor if you remain in your comfort zone. No two ways about it

Baba you need create a thread about your journey too oo

randomperson:
Lol.

The comment was not even directed at you.

But it's true... if ten years from now, someone tells mbappe is greater than Ronaldo, you will probably not agree because of all the great moments Ronaldo gave you as his fan. That's how nostalgia works...

randomperson:
Yeah, you're partially right. Recency bias is a factor. But there's also the factor of Nostalgia, people who saw Pele and Maradona play never want to believe that they could be surpassed.

In the same way, in twenty years time, it will be difficult for any Messi or Ronaldo fan to admit that one player has surpassed what they did because of the nostalgia.

I like Pele a lot, before Messi, he was my GOAT. But using the eye test, Messi is obviously the better player.

randomperson:
Answer my question or sit down quietly... you are always claiming that Ronaldo always shows up in big games. Now tell me what he did in the biggest games of his international career...

randomperson:
Kindly explain to what exactly Ronaldo did in the 3 finals he played for portugal.

How many goals, how many assists??

So why did you ask me if you know the UCL is the competition where the highest level of football is played?

ugonna1054:
Firstly,
If (!found) and if (found === true) are two different conditions, definitely the latter won’t work outside the forEach block because you already have similar condition inside the forEach block..

Secondly if you are using a MongoDB, you can use ODMs like mongoose or ORMs like sequelize in case of an SQL DB, and do sth like this instead model.findById(req.params.id); instead of having to loop through the entire user collection/table

patrickmuf:
Quality-wise, the UCL is the standard unless you are prepared to show me a competition where football is played at a higher level...I will wait.

coronavirus19:
I know what I am saying my brother. Though some other factors, factor into being finacially stable, trust me having the knowledge of how wealth creation works in the capitalistic world of today and learning from the wealthy ones, u can never go broke in ur life.

5 copas in 7 years. This one na Caraboa cup na

patrickmuf:
The world cup is rated for the emotions it generates amongst fans but the UCL is the standard right now and Messi has won more than a fair share...

Watching that clip, the defending back then was comical, Pele was a good dribble but Messi is better.

If we are to rate them based on goal scoring, dribbling and play making, I think the score will be 2 vs 1 in favor of Messi...

The pace of the game then was really slow sha.
