Why You Should Not Make Your Children Your Retirement Plan by Rapmoney(op): 5:22pm On Jun 10
The photos below should show you why you should not make your children your retirement plan. Invest in them rather than making them your retirement plan. If you abandon them while they are growing up, they might do likewise when you are old. If you did not put anything worthwhile in them as they are growing, they will reward you with same.

The photos do not show us the full picture. What if the government that was supposed to pay him pension didn't but we have a former governor of Lagos, like all your greedy eedeotick politicians who made a fat pension for himself after leaving office? Nigeria failed him, no? Maybe the system f<>d him despite his best efforts towards retirement. Next topic!

Life isn't a movie

Invest in your kids but invest in yourself more

at your retirement, 10million will mean nothing. You can even finish it in 3 months by then. You better train your children well, invest in other people's children and setup a business that will be running even when you retire
Re: Why You Should Not Make Your Children Your Retirement Plan by faceland: 7:34pm On Jun 10
There a retired police officer that is exactly like the man in the picture. I tried to help him but he started acting like it's his right and turned enemy.

Now when I see old people like that still struggling, I am like; "fooooq you! 70 to 80 years of your life and you couldn't figure out a way to just surviv?"

what if this man does not have kids? What if he married at old age and his kids are still small?

Sad to watch but...

with the average life expectancy of a Nigerian male at 54 years, this daily exercise may be why grandpa outlived his peers.

A bunch of ungrateful generation, over to you. They'd better tell you to go collect Tinubu's education loan and swim in debt after graduation.

What you don’t know is that many of us will not have gotten the level of care, education and etc, that we had if our parents chose to save for their retirement.

Life happens, you self wey Dey talk, you can’t predict your future especially in this country.

The day you stop this man from doing this will be the day you should start counting his few remaining days on earth. This exercise is keeping him alive.

As you dey plan to retire, also make provision for kidnap ransom paynents

Bandits na water grin


In any case, the likelihood of anyone living in Nigeria being alive till and through retirement is pretty slim, with all the present Terrorism and Government negligence

In other words, chop your money and hope for the best grin

You go around taking random pictures of people without actually seeking their consent. If it was a sane society, you should be behind the bars.
