Just Google Inheritance amongst blacks... Who said all white people behave one way or the other and a lot of blacks not leaving inheritance does not mean every single one of them.

I know how much better live has been for the last few generations compared to the current one - they have more disadvantages than my generation or my parents. If they do well that is all the blessing I need; the rest is a bonus.

Family house means my parents do not need my money or me to build them a house for them. I can build one but I do not do waste or ego...

A parents retirement plan is having a child - that says a lot about your mentality!

This is an update to the previous thread here:

https://www.nairaland.com/6783357/traveling-air-first-time/7#106420545

So i boarded my plane this morning and i can say it was a great experience thanks to all your contributions and tips. Lemme start like this, I woke up so early as my flight was at 8:25 since it's my first time i needed to play safe to avoid stories that touch i didn't give my village people a chance in that aspect.

I arrived at the airport few minutes to 7 and by 7:10 i was done checking in and ready for boarding (I didn't expect it to be so fast and smooth tho)

That was how i started pressing my phone and carefully paying attention to the announcements that one could barely hear. (I think airports need to do better as some of us no dey understand that kind accents) They can just past the announcement on a screen for people to read, anyways what do i know? maybe people have not missed flight as a result of that.

Ehen so while waiting, i was just observing everything, i saw one bros seated behind me so i walked up to him and confessed. "Bros no vex, na my first flight bdis, abeg if dem announce air peace flight to lagos just let me know" he smiled and said i shouldn't worry. Few minutes later i heard the announcement naso i pack my things go join queue, kudos to air peace (unlike the other announcements i heard, they used one local accent to announce before the normal posh accent repeated the announcement so it was easy for me to know it's time to board.

They did the normal thing and i was inside the plane naso i just dey look like village boy. i followed the suggestion by some good NLanders and watched how to fasten a plane seat belt so it was not an issue, i no disgrace my ancestors. except for the air hostess that was rude when i asked her for my seat everything went fine, i was so calm and composed like i've done this before. The plane took off and few minutes later we're flying above the clouds i was just smiling all through then i felt a sharp pain in my left ear, boom i no dey hear well again. then i remembered i was told here, i just swallowed saliva and i'd regain my hearing, it continued through out the flight. some of the things i noticed through the flight was:

Majority of land, like 70 percent is uninhabited, i saw my knowledge of geography come into play as we ascend into the sky, i could easily identify all the different layers like atmosphere, lithosphere and the rest it was like we're traveling to space, asin after all science no dey lie oo but above all God is the greatest. My experience helped me to believe God more, like he created all these things, he has the power to do anything so why even doubt him.

At some point during the flight, the plane was vibrating and turning anyhow lol but i didnt panic because i remembered nairalanders told me about it, i was seated by the window and stayed awake all through. Like 20 minutes into the flight, the pilot said "for those of you sitting by the right if you look by the window we are just flying over ibadan" naso i look and was like, oga i no see ibadan here ooo na just thick cloud i see.
That was how i landed in lagos around 10am and the weather was looking like 4pm nawao. i enjoyed my flight sha and i hope to do this again, but next time it should be canada not lagos.

I have no need to build a house in Nigeria - there are family houses that I can stay or hotel or Airbnb. I live a simple live and can manage anywhere - why would I be so stupid to build a big house just for show.

People should stop assuming the house belongs to man and that it is for him to come and live. Folks abroad want to invest their money and Nigeria give so much better returns on investment - simple as that!

If people are continually discouraged to invest at home from abroad - it is the country that will suffer...

Lastly, I am making plans for my retirement and old age - so I will not be needing financial assistance from the children - just their love and attention.

I so intend to leave a big inheritance because statistically a lot of black people leave very little for the next generation. I am even ready to downsize to a smaller apartment so that my kids can get on the property ladder. I am responsible for them - not the other way round!

chrisj2:
Who are you? Why are you so pained? If the parents abandoned the child that no one forced them to have, then it is on their head!

I have children and they were my choices and I will provide for them like a good parent will do - and I do not want financial considerations from them just because I was the sperm donor...

Stingy greedy fool is someone who pays the rent for the parents and possibly send money to siblings and after all that, they moved into his house without consent. That is a scam! Now crawl back under the rock you came out from. I am not interested in you or your opinion because you have offered none.

Has the OP said to you that he wanted the house to gather dust or use it to flex. It is clearly an investment between himself and his wife and his family. This nonsense could break his relationship and this one is talking nonsense...

Emarvel:
What makes you think he is coming back to live in the house?? How many persons for yankee dey come back come live for 9ja?
Why would a house be somewhere and his parents will be living in rentage.

Kajaard:
You won't understand. I have had very bad experience with Nigerian tenants in my other property.

Paying rent the first time is not an issue, it's the subsequent payments that becomes an issue. Then ejecting them is another issue, it's always a hassle and I end up using lawyers. The Indians will pay on time and they will be easier to eject as well from past experience.

And yes my suspicions were right, those were yahoo boys. I can't have fetish yahoo boys living in my property. My house, my rules.

Kajaard:
You didn’t give your Nigerian brethren your house in Ilupeju even tho they were willing to pay cash just because of their mode of dressing which is none of your buisness because it’s their private life yet ended up giving Indians instead,this is the same type of luxury you would never enjoy in India if tables were turned,then u travel abroad tomorrow and scream racism,why wouldn’t they treat u like a doormat when they can easily notice the inferiority complex written all over you over some not so white skin.

I can attest to the house rent point you raised. I wanted to give out my house at Ilupeju for rent. You need to see the way these very young dudes with questionable dressing and fancy cars were ready to dole out over 6 million for a 4 bedroom house even beating some Indians that wanted to get the house. My spirit just wasn't okay with them. Something about them just gave me the creeps. I ended up giving it to the Indians that work around Ilupeju.

What's the different between 9ja and Nigeria

FarahAideed:
That number u see there is the registration number ...the plane you posted is a Boeing 737

ChybuzzDD:
People of other nationalities have been begging for the authorities to allow them return since they've been fully vaccinated, while you are here crying about making vaccination a prerequisite.

Can you now understand why some people call Nigeria a Zoo?

If you're really passionate about travelling out, go and get yourself vaccinated.
With time, every country and airline will make it a prerequisite for travelling.

Movie budget cost 10 million and above, camera crew earns nothing less than 100k a month, actors earn between 200k to 1.5m for main actors and actresses, they pay for location, hotels and logistics all this money comes from Bank of Industry loan with interest yet you want him to be diplomatic

He probably meant the lady makeup stuffs

This is the reason why we cannot progress as a nation, we give too much importance to vain things...if the OP said that it's guava that is his problem why not just let him pluck it

Take it from me and leave the matter to the white man. If you get involved, you will have this turned upside down on your head. I have been in this situation and thought I was doing a good deed. I couldn't believe what happened when the person turned me into their enemy of progress. This has actually happened to me twice. I no longer get involved in trying to help people who are being deceived.

Oyinbo people are very lonely souls. These Yahoo guys are giving them what they are missing. Deep down, its due to their selfishness and greed. Surely there are plenty of women nearby who will give the guy a chance, but he does not want them. He wants something better than what he is and what he can offer. The Yahoo guys paint a fantasy than cannot be matched by reality.

Once you tell your patient, he is being tricked, he will liken it to you calling him a fool. He may also feel you don't want him to date women from your country. No matter what you say, something will tell him that you are the liar and not the Yahoo guy. When such people get angry, just be patient for trouble in your life. He can report you for being unprofessional. He could be devious and call the medical board. You may be asking yourself why he would go that far. The reason is that people who reason like the mumu, have to prove they are not at fault. I notice such people tend to have some underlying narcissistic traits. They will do anything to prove you are the problem, so as not to break their fantasy.

My advice is to avoid getting involved. You don't know for a fact that the man is being deceived. You also don't know if he needs that internet companionship to keep him going every day. As the saying goes, "no good deed goes unpunished". I say your village people are calling you.

Some of you are just plain stupid. What you posted there isn't Camry sport but instead of you to learn by asking questions, your arrogance and stupidity won't let you learn. What makes this car a Camry sport? It's a Camry LE

This your post should be appropriated by Africans but not Europeans. A European parent would arrest or sue you if you continue to live in their house at that age

You need to be stripped naked and flogged for this statement of yours

The risk is not worth it, even in the game of chess the King must be protected at all times and at all cost. The field commander was too exposed forget about all this long talk of experience one bullet is enough to end his life. Even NCOs in advanced militaries won't lower their guards wrt personal protective gears etc Except they're not in direct contact with the enemies (which I think is the case).
Normally we all thought the haphazard dressing by our troops is a problem limited to the lower cadres, if Oga fit dress anyhow how you wan make him boys behave?
I'm not taking anything away from his mastery of the job but safety shouldn't be jettisoned on account of expertise/sabiness.
