Cristiano Ronaldo wishes he has a dad, cos now he has money but doesn't have a dad. You don't value what you have until you want to/lose them.
I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MY MOTHER.let him know he'll be forgotten also by his children

I don't quite agree 100% with him but sometimes there's sense in nonsense.

God forbid that I abandon my parents financially even though they still hold I still give. However today's parents should learn to plan before producing. Give birth to the number of children you can comfortably raise and still be able to set something aside for retirement. Problem is that African parents don't retire till they enter grave. They make too much sacrifices in raising children thereby short-changing themselves. Truth is that this is avoidable only they plan.

As for me I can't come and go and kill myself. I must be plan for my retirement and not hope on some kid you may make all the sacrifices for and at the end of the day you become a burden to him/her. God forbid!

You my friend, pls plan on something to fall back to upon old age even if you are a business man. Don't think of doing that business until you enter grave. Work with a certain age in mind to retire and strive to do so exactly at that age. Life is sweetest in old age. Nothing is satisfying as seeing your grant kids play outdoors and even go outing with you cos you are ageing gracefully cos of having done the right thing.

Nigerian gay activist, Bisi Alimi, has written an epistle telling Nigerians that it is not their responsibility to take care of their parents, neither is it the right of their parents. According to him, a child owes his/her parent nothing, as he/she never begged them to have sex.

He went further to disclose that a child, is not an old age pension scheme. He went further to tell Nigerians not to succumb to emotional blackmail from their parents, or they will milk them dry.

Here's what he wrote;

"Nigerians, doomed financial vicious circle is when your parents brought you up so you can be their cow to milk, while you look forward to doing same to your children.
I understand that the system is bleeped, pension money is being embezzled by stupid greedy politicians, the same ones you worship and bow to, and there is no guarantee for old age, but Bleep, the system won't fix itself. If you don't resist, you will be consumed.


The idea that it is the responsibility of the struggling young to take care of the struggling old is a myth sold to you by the corrupt politicians who have stolen the resources of your commonwealth.


Remember, one rich man among 100 poor men will eventually end up being poor.
You only have two commitments in life; yourself and your children and that's until they are old enough to be kicked out of the house.

You do not, I repeat, you do not owe your parents any pay back unless you are still living with them, which means get the Bleep out or start paying rent and bills.

Remember, you didn't beg them to have sex, they wanted to have children, it's their choice, you should not be their old age pension scheme.
Only do it if you can and have the resources to, but even with that, know the limit or they will emotionally blackmail you and milk you dry."

Donshemzy1234:
i understand what you're tranna say. A cursed child indeed. But that's not what bisi is trying to say; he is talking for both sides. In simple words parents should have a lay out plan for their old age while young people (children) should not necessarily work all their life tranna feed their parents. That's not the case anyway.

PaperLace:
I am sure people insulting him didn't read his write up_they read only the heading, but it's normal for Nairalanders .

Truth is bitter, very bitter...
He was a bit hard, went off at some point but he made some sense.

Before insulting him, take your time to read the post without bias. Forget he is gay, sieve out his message_then comment. If you still don't get the message, then you need to walk in the shoes of some Nigerian first sons/daughters.

This set of people labour for years training their younger ones and helping out their parents too. Before they'll we start their own family, they would be in their late 30s.

Everyone should make plans for his/her retirement. Don't be overly independent on your kids. Some kids will give, some might not even have to give, some will totally disappoint you...it happens.
It's clearly stated that if you have _give, but don't fall for emotional blackmails aimed at ripping you off. But then _the black man doesn't read.

xynerise:
Only a prodigal and cursed child will have this mentality.

So if your parents are suffering and you are financially buoyant, you will tell them this?

eyinjuege:
Every parent should have a plan for their old age and not rely on their children, for their children are also human and can always disappoint you at any time.
Raise your children right, do your best for them, but also have a retirement plan, and not rely on them. Invest in yourself and your old age. Have only the no of children you can afford to raise, and at the same time save for your old age.
Some children will support their parents, some won't. Some parents will still continue to support their children who are married depending on the size of their pockets, No size fits all. Family dynamics differ.

chigoizie7:
I quiet agree with u, but don't u thinks that all these are pro western?

I know people who planned so well, but the inconsistency in the naija govt policies kept messing them up, it kept taking them to square one.

TrapQueen77:


How i wish i can do that, but i cant...this type of character he is emphasizing was adopted from the western.. they do that in the western countries cuz parents dont take care of their wards....government pay every from primary to phd level including welfare. In Nigeria our parents took care of us....so we are responsible for them when they are old

captainmuyi:

Imagine who is giving advice...before taking advice.. .look closely at the person giving it...he hasn't even given himself a piece...if he deems it fit to act in a manner that is tagged 'hard-bitten' towards his own parents,why does he think everyone needs to be told how to treat their own parents? He should go ahead and execute his decisions. He only remembered that his parents weren't forced to have the kinda sex that brought him into this world, but he stupidly forgot they would have aborted him, if they wanted to.. .but no they didn't...Impeccable nonsense!
