maasoap: Bro, I agree with you that Mikel shouldn't have aired those dirty laundries out there... Honestly, I don't even know what he was thinking or what prompted that. I might have to go watch the entire interview and talk show to clarify. Still, Black Tax is a real thing in Nigeria and Africa. It should stop. We need to quit demonizing those who are wealthy and keep to themselves... It's not strange or new. Instead of demanding handouts, why not create value that can be paid for... many of those demanding Black Tax don't even have the focus or ambition to better themselves... Ask them about life objectives or financial plans, and they will be staring at you moronically. Na frustration make Obi Mikel vomit those things...! At times, make the Poor dey allow the Rich breathe! 6 Likes |

Its true, its better to ignore them, because its not natural or loving. sometimes the family will have money but still want to collect from others, such greed and entitlement. mariahAngel: 2 Likes |

Karlifate: I dey tell you...! Some families you marry into, and you turn into family ATM. I have seen guys and ladies double their hours of work, sleep less, and grow weary hustling just to meet up with family demands. Funny and Ironically, if (or When) the person drops dead or goes broke, these same leeches will move on to other marks. 7 Likes 1 Share |

. Its really leaching, better to say no to their demands. That way of living is not sustainable, why cant everyone work for their money, and if they need support, it should not be parasitic but sensible and dignified. People have to work and be sensible, choose good leaders, do sensible things as a community, and stop gang cultures. Nobody should feel its their right to demand for things. Angelfrost: 5 Likes |

DonBenny77: This is one of them, you will know from the time they open their mouth. They are greedy, they are leeches, they are evil, they want to run you down, and they don't care about you. No matter what you do for them, they will keep coming back. And all they do with the money you give to them is to impress other by throwing parties and clubbing, just to show people that they are related to a famous person. If you give them 10M today, they will come back in 3 months, they lack investment plans, even if they propose a business plan to you and you support them, they will still squander it, with the hope of getting more. They will blame witches, blame economy, blame bad business, everything is to be blamed but themselves. With all the investments John Obi did for his families from his playing days, they were suppose to be established by now. But no, as per Nigeria, the list keeps expanding. 12 Likes 1 Share |

Mindlog:You are just chasing shadows. You talked like a slowpoke that is acting wanna be. You go dry fail exams well. The guy spoke well and you expressed your empty skull. The sociology of Africa is a close knit family, that is why we don't patronize old people's home, we care for our families and our families care for us. Sadie Mane, Miss Ahmed, George Wear, Kana Banjo and lots of successful people in Africa and the world over help family and strangers who need or seek for help. Do you know how many HIV and malaria drugs that Bill Gate and a host of philanthropists have given free to your silly and and relatives? Giving is not mandatory, it is a personal thing. Some family members can be over demanding and lazy too, you use your initiative, that shouldn't stop you from being good to those who deserve it, family first. I like Mikel as player but he is showing that what they said he did to 2face is believable. Haha, Ahmed Miss dry help people outside his family o |

Yes your family owns you because when you die those people you think you belong to will dump your ass ,and your body will return to your family to be buried.Oh he think Nneni his own town is just a cemetery.Now I know he doesn’t have sense look at him in the interview forming British accent.This guy is just a fool at his age.Others use fame to promote his country,and fool is here criticising his family.Take a good look at Akon the rapper he’s impact on Senegal and Africa is second to none..Mike my foot |

Mindlog: I am sure you have changed your name to a slave name too. You know I am right. Let me tell you for the over 2 decades I spent in the Uk, I taught them how to pronounce my name. I would rather they pronounce it wrong than give me a name that isn’t mine or for me to change my name to please them. All this just to change pampas for the elderly while they spit at you.

modernWays: Oyinbo are not like this. They are actually more "stingy" than us. Their stinginess originates not necessarily out of cruelty but borne out of ignorance. I had a distant cousin who my dad took to America when she was 7. This was a girl who only spoke the Ondo dialect. She's now an army doctor and even served in Iraq. She'll soon be 50. Though she is grateful, she has never sent a dime home to my dad as that is not the culture there. Her mum may send money to bring all her 3 siblings to the States but that's her mum's culture. Look at Barack Obama. I doubt he helped any of his kin to America. I doubt he did anything for Kenya. I doubt if he helped any set up businesses. I would die of shock if he sends monthly remittances to up to $200 to two of his relations. If I earned half of what Mikel Obi was earning, I'll set up at least 20 of my relations. If any still fail, at least I know I did my best. My dad, despite a lean purse, assisted many people. He hoped as he helped one branch of the family, they would help their immediate sibling. It worked for some but failed woefully for others. 1 Like 1 Share |

vickydevoka: The best is to make family members grow their own wealth and never fund any luxury lifestyle for any family members. You can help create a startup with seed funds and help them grow the company and never fund their lifestyles it doesn't end well. The the business fund their lifestyles, this is a more sustainable approach. 1 Like |

Most Russians and other East Europeans can stay abroad for 40 years and still maintain their original accents...
