you are countering your own argument

so if a person saves 1.5m in a year - that means it will take him 100 years to save 160m

while in a backbreaking job that has no career prospects. how long can the driver take to save to buy his own keke?
Bro you are typing out of point. This particular post was in response to diggz claiming Keke drivers can't make 100k monthly.

GloriousGbola:
if you are living under your your parents roof, 100k can seem like a lot of money - as you have minimum living expenses

how far will 100k go if you are paying rent, buying food daily, paying for electricity, water, etc?

bricklayers and keke riders do not even count money in per month - they literally live day to day

and a day they dont hustle is a day they dont eat.
Where did I say anything about 100k being a lot of money. How is this your post relevant to the discussion. Go and look at the post diggz made. He literally believes people cannot make 100k monthly from hustling. You should be telling him not me.

Keke drivers make more than 100k in a month and bricklayers lol. E clear.
Mr man Keke drivers dey remit 5 to 7k daily to their ogas. In some areas some even remit as much as 10k daily. There was a Keke driver the other day on the front page thanking God for saving up to 1.5million in 2024 from his Keke business. Bricklayers charges 7000 to 8000 per 100blocks. Bricklayer 7000, labourer 4 to 5k.

If you make 5million yearly for 30years that's about 150milllion. The spending/Earning part is very much realistic.

That means u must be living in banana island or VGC to come up with this stats o.

If u’ve lived ur life or grew up on the streets u will know that 4 out of 10 Nigerian youths do not have that amount u are calling .

I hope u know CBN has records of all bank accounts in this country and if the CBN governor is telling u 95% of Nigerian adults do not have more than 500k in their bank accounts , he’s saying it from an informed point of view and not just “believe “ which u are hinging ur own opinion on.
Which CBN governor? CBN has never said anything of such nature.

Did Bovi say what he will do to stop his son from damaging a forth TV when he is angry? A child damaged the first TV and went on to damage two more because his parent think they are rich enough to always replace it shows how irresponsible a father Bovi is. If Bovi cannot discipline his son to behave, the street will do it for him and it won't be good...
Simply watch the video before repeating the same thing. If you watched the video you won't be typing this. The video is right there.

Bovi is not the only parent that doesn't flog their kids as a form of discipline, so that's hardly the koko. The main the main was him creating the impression that he okay's destruction of property because he's a big man that can afford these things and it is evidenced by the fact that his kid has not only broken TV once in anger, but has done so on two other occasions.

A kid breaking TV as an outlet for anger is not normal, even in homes where the parents have 1000 times Bovi's wealth.
Where did you see Bovi saying it was okay to destroy things because he was a rich man. You have not even watched the full discussion yet you are jumping into conclusion. He said parents sometimes beat children not with the intention to correct but out of frustration like a middle class family will take a different approach to a child breaking a television that cost 4 months salary than a wealthy parents would and that's the fact. The child tv stuff starts from 1hr 15mins. He was asked a question on how to deal with destructive children and he gave an example with his child who was once destructive but has overgrown that behavior has he got more matured. Just watch the video.

In my opinion, vandalism deserves an overreaction because the kid is straying into dangerous territory. Not every item can be replaced or even compensated at all. I never advocated flogging either. Never let, "I can just replace it" be a reason to justify bad behaviour.

"What gets rewarded, gets done"

By the way, i consider flogging to be a nuclear option and not to even be considered as a punitive measure until all other methods are exhaustively explored
I understand you but Bovi didn't justify his behavior. He said he reprimanded the child but didn't go overboard by flogging like most parents would do in such situation.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by Melvyn11: 11:31am On Dec 18, 2024
People here are now acting like when you beat a kid for doing a particular stuff he will ultimately stop when in reality children are stubborn and rebellious in nature. You could beat a kid for doing something today and the little baga would repeat it the next day. Even people that were stubborn in their teenage days are trying to gaslight us into believing they always considered the punishment before engaging in the act.

DeadPresidents:
My own na say, Pikin need to learn say every action get equal and opposite reaction.

If Bovi pikin break TV outside, them fit Cole Palm am before Bovi dey on ground to handle the situation.

As a kid, no matter how angry I get, them no born me to break TV because I understand the opposite reaction is no cartoons/movies/gaming/football for months (If i don’t lose access forever)

Every human considers action and effect that’s why you won’t pick up quarrel with the local street boxer. That’s the same reason kids learn to avoid stealing bitter leaf…it’s not worth it

Bovi’s kids understand there’s no effect to breaking TVs and fundamentals of human and animal behaviour is defined succinctly: "What gets rewarded, gets done"
You all needs to stop overreacting and go watch the full clip. You are acting like Bovi was clapping for the child when he broke the television. He said he disciplined them but he didn't flog them mercilessly like most parents would do due to his capacity of replacing the television. For example you can't compare the way you would react to your son bashing your car to the way Otedola or any of those big man or celebrities would react.

So because you can afford another one, you let your kids destroyed your TV because the are angry?

What will they destroy when the are adults. He should have let his kid destroyed his car too
He told you when the child came of age he realized his mistakes and stopped doing that. Did you even watch the video you posted here? Bovi is simply telling you he's not going to beat his child over material things he can afford. You don't have to agree with him.

That still doesnt make sense even if you have the money.

What if the kid goes to a friends house and starts breaking their TV, or goes to shoprite and starts breaking their TV just because you dont want to correct him. Breaking TV can even put the child in danger

You dont have to flog the child but you can verbally scold and let the child know he is wrong
Actions in life have consequences and there is a reason they are children and we are adults so we can correct and set them straight

What else, he will say if the child attempt to open the car door on motion or drink boiling water he wont stop him?

Sometime all these wokeness we will just overdo everything sef
In the full podcast he mentions flogging and disciplining his children. One stroke and then warning of ten if they repeat it.
