This culture has a hand in why Africans don't save enough to invest, and why a lot of investments go into ruins! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Help who you can, ignore who you can't. Nobody force you. When you are dead make sure your corpse doesn't involve African families. 6 Likes |

I could not agree more with him. Well stated, especially from my own experience. You will see those family members that are asking for help breeding kids like rabbits. Once dem born, they will call you for support. It is terrible! One even had the boldness to call for money to do 75th birthday celebration for his mum....someone that have not been able to pay his kids school fees wants to do owambe party for his mum. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

I really dislike this guy. Are Nigerians the only footballers from poor backgrounds with family hanger-ons? Same thing happens with other African and South American footballers. They dont come on tv or radio selling out their own to please his white masters. I don’t have a problem with what he said, I have a problem with him saying it to outsiders to get ratings. O I has an inferiority complex with his stupid fake accent! 12 Likes 3 Shares |

They call it "African black tax" your family just feel entitled to your money and don't even give a heck about your mental well being. "give me, give me" nobody is saying take. 8 Likes 1 Share |

true i learnt the hard way back in the days when i was cycling hard to learn trading, they would be saying all manner of things at me. when i finally made money, they came asking for loans which they would never return. or when you told them you were having issues, watch them show you colors you never saw before Gone are the days i carried family wahala for head. its just me and business. even after buying the whole world for them, they still think they deserve, ungreatful people 12 Likes 2 Shares |

Anyone remembered when Mikel opened record label for this brother and sound city wouldn’t allow us to listen to better song because they got paid millions of Naira Mikel opened transportation company for his father and all those buses were new then, yet the father wasted the opportunity He made his junior brother that was playing football act like king because guy was driving latest Benz to the training camp and Mikel even tried his best for that useless brother to play for Nigeria and arranged the guy to register with Chelsea or Arsenal, I can’t remember which one Mikel is even far, I know someone that his brother have wasted over 7M Naira on his head only on business etc yet he kept saying the brother haven’t helped him. I think it’s common thing for black people because Jay Z and Chris Rock said same thing Mikel said 15 Likes 2 Shares

Yeah... The struggle of an average young Nigerian and African man. At times, it feels like it's a crime to succeed in any way. The entitlement mentality of most low-income earners and poor people in this part of the globe is atrocious. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

This is so true. Nigerians can be very entitled to the money of thier family members. You see them having kids they can't cater to, living a lifestyle that thier finance cannot carry. They make no plans for eventualities and will instead spend every penny they have on things that aren't "needs" but "wants", instead of saving no matter how LITTLE. Then when sheet hits they fan, they expect other people to take on thier responsibilities. 8 Likes 2 Shares |
