You come from a lineage of wealth, yet you had to hustle hard to find your own fortune? Yeah right...🤣🤣🤣... Sounds like something a person who grew up in poverty would say. Wealthy families leave generational wealth for their future generations, they train their children from a young age in preparation of them accumulating their businesses in the nearest future, yet you're from a wealthy family, but had to hustle...🤣🤣🤣 Angelfrost: |

Samantha125:And you came in here asking "why are the poor people poor" you are the typical arrogant African, you are the type that will look at your own people mocking them, Someone else gave it to you. You did not earn it. Fake self righteous. But a South African what do you expect. The country that wants to wipe out my race and makes songs about it. |

Samantha125:Six fucking laughing emojis. That’s what poverty looks like to you. A joke. Hilarious. Let’s talk about where you’re laughing from. You were born into land, livestock, property, a title your grandfather earned before you even had a glimmer of thought. You contributed nothing to that foundation except showing up. That’s not legacy. That’s timing. That’s pure luck. Convenience wrapped in a fancy surname. I come from old Scandinavian blood. The kind tied to royal lines, knighthoods that carry weight because people earned them, bled for them. Peripheral sons? We don’t get handed comfort. We earn it, often in places where your grandfather’s name means shit and the person next to you is actively trying to end your breathing. Afghanistan. Iraq. Iran. Weeks without proper food. Bullet holes. Death hovering like a cloud over everything you do. Thirteen fucking years old and thrown into that world because there’s no soft landing. No farm. No estate. No invisible safety net. Hunger that isn’t inconvenience. Survival that isn’t theory. That’s the price tag of earning what I eventually inherited. The man you mocked? Built from nothing. No title. No property. No livestock waiting in a ledger for him. Just raw fucking will and elbow grease. You? You were handed your advantages by a dead man and call it achievement. And then you laugh at someone else’s hustle. Six emojis of pure contempt. But here’s the real kicker, Samantha. You’re South African. Right now, in 2026, your president is standing in front of crowds singing about killing a specific group. Land seizure without compensation is policy. Farmers are dying. People are scared, fleeing, disappearing. The world screams “never again” about previous genocides, but is silent while yours festers. And you. From that country. Chose to spend your energy laughing at a Nigerian man who started from zero and made something of himself. The world has words for that. Several words, in fact. None are compliments. None are kind. None excuse your six emojis of disdain. So here’s the knife, Samantha. I’m asking you straight: what did you build? Not inherit. Not maintain. Not profit from because some dead ancestor shoveled earth or signed deeds. Build. If you can find the words. Without emojis. Without hiding behind your family’s dead man’s accomplishments. Without theatre. Because if you can’t, those six laughing emojis are nothing but a neon sign flashing entitlement without merit. |

There is a fundamental grit in the person who knows how to build a ship that can never be replicated by the person simply handed the keys to a yacht. To the unseasoned inheritor, the vessel is a throne; to the builder, it is a tool. The wisest among those who inherit understand this—they consciously seek out the storms their bank accounts could help them avoid. By starting at the bottom or launching raw ventures, they earn the 'survivor’s wisdom' that wealth alone would otherwise deny them. They don't just want to own the craft; they want to deserve the helm." |

Samantha125:Dangote hustled hard to get to where he is today, and still hustles (or works, in case you are confused). Davido hustled hard to get to this height Elon Musk "HUSTLED" hard to get successful Gates worked his butt off to get to this point. Zuckerberg, Mark Cuban, and many others. Does that mean they came from poverty?!! Does that mean they were not supported?!! Does being supported by parents to succeed equate to being spoonfed an inheritance?!! Why should a grown man or woman need to inherit before succeeding in life?!! Why can't you succeed on your own while your inheritance remains a bonus or prop?!! ....Maybe you don't understand the meaning of inheritance. Instead of paying attention and learning a thing or two, you chose to go off the tangent either due to poor ability to reason or just plain entitlement mentality. Please if you don't have solid argumemt points, give this a rest. Thank you. |

All those people you mentioned are from prominent families... ... They leveraged their families' wealth and social capital to achieve success... So if you call them using their families' connections to achieve success a "hustle", then you're right, they are hustlers...😂😂😂Angelfrost: |

Samantha125:Awright Samantha125. Limpopofied Limpopian from Limpopo. Let's 'ave a proper butcher's hook at what you're actually up to 'ere darlin', cos the ol' dog and bone 'as been ringin' and the blower don't lie. You wrote a topic about me. The alleged onyinbo. Alleged white man allegedly insulting Nigerian men. Used the word 'alleged' twice like it's doing some kind of 'eavy lifting when you clearly read every single word, clocked the whole fing, and built an entire topic around it before settling back wiv your plates of meat up on the table and your popcorn and juice ready like you're watching the FA Cup final from Limpopo. That ain't concern, love. That ain't defending no one. That's striking a match and then standing nearby pretending to admire the sunset. Brain54 had you clocked in two minutes flat. Silent. Innocent. Manipulator. Instigator. Sleeve up her ace. Fourteen geezers gave that the thumbs up because fourteen people saw exactly what you was doing before you'd even finished doing it. One like on your post. Fourteen on his. The Nigerians you claimed to be mobilising took one butcher's and picked a side and it weren't yours. Now let's 'ave a rabbit about what you called my lies. Wedding culture. Right. Here's the fing innit and I want you to follow this nice and slow because it matters. What I put up weren't opinion. Weren't some onyinbo 'aving a bubble bath at Nigerian tradition for the banter. It was Nigerian constitutional law. Verbatim. Section 41 of the Marriage Act Cap M6 LFN 2004 which makes it a criminal offence for any Tom, Dick, or Harry including family members to claim their consent is legally required for a marriage. Sections 34, 35, 37, 38, 42 of the 1999 Constitution covering dignity, liberty, private and family life, freedom of conscience, and freedom from discrimination. Case law going all the way back to 1972. Osamwonyi. Agbeja. Meribe. Mojekwu. Obi v Bosah 2019. That's not some onyinbo making fings up in his drum in Ikoyi. That's a bleeding law library compiled by Nigerian judges in Nigerian courts under Nigerian constitutional authority. You got a problem wiv it, take it up wiv the Federal Republic of Nigeria, not wiv me. I just read their statutes out loud. What I actually said, since you summarised it wrong while building your topic, is that Nigerian couples 'ave full legal autonomy over their own weddings. They can tell bride price to do one. They can tell family introduction to jog on. Prostration. Kneeling. Traditional rites. Family consent. The whole bleeding lot. And their marriage stays completely valid under Nigerian law. That protects women from being treated like a financial transaction. Protects men from being bled dry on their own wedding day. Protects both families from criminal liability under Section 41. That ain't attacking Nigerian culture. That's defending Nigerian people from the parts of their own culture being used as a weapon against 'em by their own families. You called that lies. From Limpopo. About a country that ain't yours. Now 'ere's where your own 'istory becomes the most interesting fing in this whole conversation and I want you to pay attention because the irony is absolutely breathtaking and I'd 'ate for you to miss it. 5481 posts. 41 topics. 2 months and 8 days. That's 80 posts a day every single day of the week. On a Nigerian forum. From Limpopo. About Nigerian men and South African women and KFC chicken fights and crying SA ladies and xenophobia and foreign celebrities and the onyinbo causing trouble on the culture section. And in that exact same post 'istory you laughed at poverty. Six emojis. At a man who built from nuffing. Said it sounds like somefing a person who grew up in poverty would say as if starting from zero is a punchline. As if building somefing wiv your own mits from absolutely sod-all is embarrassing rather than being the 'ardest possible version of the same journey your grandfather apparently did for you except he actually did it and you just inherited the result and called it lineage. So let me get this right in my loaf of bread. You fink Nigerian men treat South African women badly. You post about it constantly. You watch the fires. You bring the juice. You 'ave the popcorn ready. And you also fink poverty is funny. Right then. Here's what you apparently missed while you was busy performing outrage from Limpopo. That SA girl Thandeka Xaba you posted about. Abandoned. Abused. Rejected by her Nigerian father's family because of where her mother came from. The legal framework you called lies, the one about couples 'aving full autonomy, that's the exact framework that says a family cannot impose conditions based on nationality or tribe. Section 42. Freedom from discrimination. The law that protects girls like Thandeka from being rejected by a family because of their blood. You posted about her suffering. Then called the legal protections that directly address that suffering lies. Because the white man said 'em. That ain't logic darlin'. That ain't even a good bubble. That's a woman so committed to the performance of watching the pot that she can't see she's arguing against the very fing that would 'elp the people she claims to be posting about. And the poverty bit. This is the one that really does my nut in proper. You’re spending 80 posts a day performing outrage about vulnerable South African women in Nigeria. About abandonment. About suffering. About girls left wiv nuffing in a country that ain't theirs. About women dying mysteriously. About children rejected because of their mother's blood. All of that is poverty innit. Financial poverty. Emotional poverty. The poverty of being abandoned by someone supposed to protect you. The poverty of a child wiv nowhere to go and no one coming. And you laughed at poverty. Six emojis. You cannot spend 5481 posts performing moral outrage about vulnerable people and then turn around and mock a man for 'aving started from nuffing. Those two positions cannot live in the same noddle wivout one of 'em being a costume. Either you care about people who 'ave nuffing. Or you don't. You can't 'ave the popcorn and the moral authority at the same time Samantha. Brain54 said sleeve up her ace. That's someone 'iding a trick they ain't showing openly. An agenda dressed up as neutrality. And the Nigerians you was trying to mobilise against the alleged onyinbo looked at what you wrote and looked at what 'e wrote about you and they made their choice. Fourteen to one. The people you was supposedly defending saw through the sleeve before you'd even finished rolling it up. 5481 posts. 41 topics. 2 months and 8 days. Romance. Family. Celebrities. And I'm not here for childish banter. Samantha. My old china plate. My cream cracker. My Limpopofied Limpopian sitting in Limpopo wiv her juice and her popcorn watching fires she lit from a very comfortable distance. You ARE the banter. All 5481 posts of it. Now. One question. Clean. No emojis. No popcorn. No sleeve. What did you actually build that wasn't 'anded to you, inherited from someone else's graft, or borrowed from someone else's conflict that you showed up to film for the likes? Answer that. If you can find the words. |

Samantha125:Well, the topic is about Inheritance not family support... And I said the facts about inheritance. You should not confuse parental support to hardworking kids with inheritance. Inheritance is no one's right, and should never be the reason why people succeed or fail. Any further questions?!! Is it clear now?!! |
| Re: People Who Inherited Nothing From Their Parents, How Do You Cope by Samantha125(f): 7:06pm On Feb 23 |
There's nothing hardworking in using your family's prominent name and connections to achieve success... It's called privilege. I remember how Davido used to sing about how he's a rich man's son when he first started with his music career and his father even paid a whole University to start a music school specifically for him, yet he's hardworking, right?

Angelfrost:No, its about no inheritance. Left by parents. It says nothing about grandparents or people that had to earn inheritance. |
| Re: People Who Inherited Nothing From Their Parents, How Do You Cope by Fenrir(m): 8:29pm On Feb 23 |
Samantha125:Pot call kettle black, there is nothing hardworking about you. You've spent this whole topic mocking poverty genuine poverty and anyone that didn't get a hand out, anyone self established thats the attitude of something that hasn't done a days graft in their life. |

Olufemiolaolu:In theory you make a lot of sense. In actual practice people like Trump were born into mega wealth and leveraged it into more wealth, then presidency - without ever "seek out the storms their bank accounts could help them avoid"! |

EmperorIsaac:Even the Bible says a wise man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. Prov 13:22. Jesus's earthly father left the inheritance of his carpentry to him. |
