Family › Re: Black Tax: Africa’s Silent Killer Of Dreams by SonOfWords(m): 12:01pm On Oct 05, 2025 |
brain54: Black tax, there is a term for everything nowadays...
Anyways, I think it has it's origin from our (African) cultural background from communal lifestyle.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad concept. As it's mostly the excess earned that is used to cater for family. Where it becomes a burden is when one begins to struggle to meet such responsibilities.
Many Africans have embraced the western concept of "me, myself and I" but originally we had our communal way of living where everyone looked after each other.
I think most of our old ways of doing things shouldn't be eroded completely in the race to become Westernised rather modifications should be applied where applicable and necessary.
I have a lot of things to say about the Chinese and sticking to and modifying their traditional ways of doing things and how well it has worked for them.
A country or continent that throws away it's cultural identity and original ideology in embrace of foreign cultural norms hardly progresses! If black tax was roundly left to be done "willingly and at the convenience of the benefactor", we would have easily drawn tangents between it and our ancestral communal living.
The distance between today's black tax and our inherited communal living stands as glaring as the open legs of an OS.
Acquaintances and loved ones will just be asking and taking and taking...and when you're probably not in a place to give at a particular time, they'll demonize you for it.
I sha stopped that lunacy three years ago. Nobody papa fit pressure me! |

Are Kwara people this gullible? Will they believe this kind of lie a 2nd time?

Gbadebo19: The guy is a pro Russian parading as neutral. His every post on this thread points to it. I have always noticed his voice comes out when they are insulting pro west people. He was there when studybarn was running rampage, giving kudos to Sonofwords when he went loose and was sharing and liking Masterviolence post's when they thought they would take Pokrovsk. After Masterviolence exited through the back door, I tagged him to a post calling him a war general, he came out claiming "neutral." Well, it was there for us to see.
However, he is also a supporter of Israel. Someone with a misplaced priority like the tiktok bandit. The abhor America, love Israel type. What is your problem na? |

They are multiple contributions from different persons offering different scopes on things here, that being said please am not interested in having any insults spree with you nor anyone else. please kindly take your mentions and go look for your kins.. Comprehendere??
in regards to my "air-brained arguments" you are spot on sir, You are absolutely right!! My takes here are "air-brained" yours are the best sir!!, you and your team are the "intellectuals" on the thread, the "bright bulbs", so please allow me enjoy my "air-brained" arguments okay!!
P.s anyone who read my post with any atom of reasoning knows I wasn't mocking Kingsnairaland but mere banter!!, but am i surprised?? Nope!! comprehending effectively haven't always been your greatest strength!! You didn't remember the name of the thread when you spent the last six months labelling it "Russian propaganda thread"🤡😂?
The thread has multiple persons from different places offering different scopes and opinions, but Facebook is solely being used by US citizens and only for the US interests abi😭?
E say na mere banter. Classic Donald Trump mentality. Say something absurd, gauge people's reactions and if your intents are not met, dismiss it as a joke so you can have the easy escape.

Hope you know sir that Facebook is owned by a company called Meta Inc, which is an america company, Now knowing fully well that one of your popular catchphrases here is "Evil US" 
I wonder what you are doing on a platform owned and managed by "evil USA?? 
I hope you won't influenced by the Western "evil" propaganda on Facebook.  Again, some of you Nigerians on this Obasanjo's internet are hilariously weird .
You're gleefully mocking someone for being pro-Russia and using a US owned company to access information, when you're actually pro-USA to the core, but have to sleep on a "Russian propaganda thread" every day just so you can find relevance and spotlight through air-brained arguments😂.

The Russian military is inefficient and below par, yet it is Donald Trump and the Ukrainian comedian who have consistently been lamenting every eke market day about Putin's refusal to agree to a ceasefire.

Rilwayne001: For real, their weakness is so obvious in the UKraine war.
What’s saving their a.ss is Trump respect for Putin, and really doesn’t want to give Ukraine all necessary support to make Russia withdraw from their territories, because that would automatically weaken Putin image, something Trump doesn’t really want. if it was Biden, by now, the war would have ended and Putin would have been kicked out of government.

Things we long pointed out even before he won this presidency. The US economy predominantly breathes off needless bloodshed and societal chaos, shamelessly brought to bear in the societies of other countries, all under the guise of spreading and upholding "American democracy".

SmartPolician: Nigerians don't trust their president and institutions anymore. That's why the ex-AIG petitioned an ordinary embassy instead of president to discipline his appointee. This is what happens when you have a former drúg lórd as your president. There actually is nothing like "a former drug lord" in the underbellies of the drug world. You don't attain that ignominious status and then be allowed to simply just "retire".
You'll be dead within months because in your hands lies the trade secrets of a near-global network.
So if Tinubu indeed attained the status of a cartel overlord in the drug trade, that's what he still is and still functions in that capacity. |
