GetMeRight:Just say population isn’t our major problem but it’s part of the problem when you have clueless leaders Population can only help the workforce of a country but that’s if the leaders knows how to utilize it which obviously they don’t give a fvk about except getting tax value from it. |

BloomingDale: So, where does that leave you regarding your parents in old age? Even in Europe and America, the children who could afford it take their parents to nursing homes and pay for the services. What are you guys really arguing about here? |

Annahh: Just to clarify what you thoughts are. Do you think when he retires, they will now give him his pension worth several millions. And then he on the other hand will now hand over the Cash to you, thus setting you up for life. |

Oloki: Learnt this lesson from an octogenerian Ghanaian woman. Don't build your future on your children helping because of the following reasons. 1.Your child/children may not live long to be there for you. 2.Your just child/children may just out of meanness decide not to help you. 3.Your child/children may not just have the capacity. |

HugeElephant:Whoever have this kind of thought are either doesn't have parents to care of them during their young age and using such bitter things that taking care of such parent is not an option for them but the truth is all parent can never be the same or you might not have kid or having kids and not taking care of them just because you don't believe in them taking care of you too at old age. The truth is investing in your children upbringing and helping them to become a better person in life is one of the greatest future investments. I'm not saying one should not have other business plans to fall back on but investment on children is one of the greatest. |

AfahaAbia: Your mother did not teach him good morals. She did not teach you too. You both were brought up with a silver spoon stuck in your mouth. Your brother was highly influenced by his wayward friends. He's now exhibiting the same behaviour he learnt from his peers. Too much of comfort usually spoils children and destroys their morality. Even you, you don't have any moral. I won't be surprised if you do illegal things to make money that you're investing, but here you are trying to crucify your brother because your mother was the victim. You and your brother lack good morals and education |

Re: When You Are Too Old To Work by bitbillionaire: 3:55pm On Jan 15 |
LandMann: Not a bad idea. But the question is: in a world where nothing is guaranteed, what happens if at that old age your kids find themselves in a situation where they themselves are struggling to survive despite all your 'investment' on them? What of those who lose their kids due to some man-made or natural disasters after 'investing' so much on them? Can we say they have lost their investment and hope for survival at old age? LandMann: Just look at how sentimental you are here. You thoroughly twist, distort and misinterpret what the guy is saying just to suit your prejudice and sentiments. You sound like one of those africans who can hardly feed themselves well but rush to bring kids into the world and then put themselves through immense stress and pressure to train those kids because they see the kids as their pension plan and only hope of survival at old age. So, you get subconsciously emotional and insecure when someone suggest that you should not think of being a burden to your kids at old age because of what you go through to train them. Don't get me wrong, we all reap what we sow. If you sow good seeds into your kids and train them well and help them to be established in life and they are comfortable, they will not forget you or let you suffer. And even if they are not there for you for whatever reason nature and God will reward you in some other ways. But what you will benefit from your kids should not be a primary reason for bringing them into the world and training them. Establish yourself first and be comfortable with your life before you bring kids into the world. And your motive for bringing them into the world should be to show them unconditional love. Meaning wherever you are doing for them you do it unconditionally without any selfish motive. Otherwise you will only end up bring kids that will perpetuate the cycle of poverty and suffering in the world. 1 Like |

bitbillionaire: Foolishness kill your head. Below is screenshot of my trading account on. How much have you earned this past month? Go back and reread my message and digest it properly. This life is about giving and receiving. It's about having a sense of responsibility and duty for people we call our loved ones. It's irresponsible people that their parents will work hard to bring up properly and then turn their backs on their parents when their parents become old. It is not necessarily about giving your parents money and other material things when they're old. Caring for them is beyond that. They won't have need for much of those material things that you covet and hold close to your chest like smeagle in lord of the rings... Just like you did not consume a lot of material things when you were young. But their care and nurturing is what helped you survive and hopefully thrive. Even if you turn out to be poor in life, it won't stop you from being able to care for your parents. The little things you will do for them; spending time with them, bringing drugs when they're ill or taking them to hospital, preparing or bringing food for them, feeding them when they're too fragile to lift a spoon; all these are ways of showing care and they won't burn a hole in that your empty pocket you guide jealously. You hide behind the internet to write rubbish that you can't openly say in front of your parents. I challenge you to go and tell your parents your opinion if you still have parents. I can guarantee you that they'll place a curse on your bald head and disown you. Please be guided |

I need to ask Abiola how the investment look like when he died ....... suffering for years in a simple room without AC or car to move around? Was he rich in prison or poor, barely eating and was sick and died while drinking just tea? the investment became what, a pension for him? Everybody at old age become 'little'and need to be care for by loved ones, whether rich or poor!! |
