Upward mobility is when an individual moves from a lower to a higher status or position. This can be for different reasons.

Odey1997:
Imagine a respected medical doctor in Nigeria travelling abroad to work as a morgue attendant or taxi driver? Ain't that odd?

Odey1997:
Do you know status inconsistency exists in our society?

Odey1997:
Achieved status is acquired or gotten via personal efforts...... As a student one painstickingly studies in the higher institution to gain a degree.... Bsc, B.A, Llb etc until then can an individual be certified a graduate. One has to earn it.

Odey1997:
Ascribed statuses for instance is that in which a person is born into and it cannot to dictated by individuals. For instance, individuals born into a royal family....... Queen Elizabeth and other monarchical families.

Especially through familial ties.

nedekid:
You are right, seem odd though, but it happens.
Buried my dad and kid sister within a year and half, one or 2 guymen hustler "pastors" wanted to use it to enter us, we hushed one and walked out the other.
Truth of the matter is in life people will fall by the way side due to age, sickness, accidents etc. That is life. Think of all your friends that have not made it till today, heck my close paddy Dr Tubosun, from secondary sch to uni, we practically saw daily or spoke on the phone, he was the one treating me for BP, advicing me on good health, omo he slumped and died from cardiac arrest. Remember shehu safari lost 4 sons in car accident in 1day. Wigwe nko?
Shit happens, we just pray for good health and God's protection.

AlabiKILLER2023:
Tinubu= Drug pusher


Dapo. Abiodun = Yahoo boy

Oba of ibadan = Yahoo boy

Bimbo odukoya = Prostitute (ashawo)

Why would you utter such about these individuals though? Hope you don't have something against Yoruba folks because they are good people.

Fun Fact: Did you know that the Yoruba word, 'didirin' used to describe an extremely sluggish person, actually has an English version? It's 'dithering' (although used as a verb) For example: "Stop dithering and do what you have to do fast.'
