Happy birthday beloved! Hope you have a great day filled with lots of love and laughter ❤️. Pray this new year of life is of health, well-being, more content, goals achieved and contentment.
As per the topic where do i begin. *deep sigh.
I don't know why we are their retirement and burial plan. I've been trying to find out if my mum has a will. She becomes an ostrich or overtly defensive as if im wishing her death. I equally learned no financial acumen. I've learned from what not to do watching her and my aligning myself with people who know more than me or experts in their fields.
I have no savings supporting my parents even when i try. I have had to make the decision to stop paying my dad's salary in April (a man that was not around for over 20 years of my life) and move out of my mums as living in the family house has been more detrimental than inspirational. My mum took retirement without a plan or paying off the mortgage. She sits at home while my brother and i pay the mortage and bills. They only get scared when I'm at home when i should be at work because they are protecting their own interests of making sure they are still benefiting from my salary. Never to ask when am i planning to buy my own, my career or investments opportunities.
My mum said she wants to be buried and embalmed in naija… I replied her saying "i hope you have saved the money" to only get a blank look.
I'm looking forward to moving out and cutting off their life line in me to have peace of mind and money in my account. Oti su mi!
There is also this comparison complex our parents have. Other people's kids are doing xyz and they expect the same without realising their parents, home dynamics and social and economic standing is different and nuanced.
I'm 33, divorced due to a man using me for papers, absconding and puting me in £15k debt. They are asking fervently when am I going to remarry of at least have a child as if either will contribute to anything. It's gotten to the point of fasting and prayers and a question of my sexual orientation because I'm focused on being better than they were with or without kids.
Parents also forget the scripture that says do not provoke your children to anger. If we are going to use bible to manipulate, LET'S USE THE BIBLE!
I'm a first generation brit and they are regretting my brothers and I weren't raised in naija to be wired to absorb without critical thinking their antics with religion, age and parenthood. Wrong is wrong, economic, social norms and culture have changed but they have this entitlement like their parents hand which also placed them in a less than palatable situation. You would think they would do and be better than their parents but sadly they want to perpetuate the same cycle which is actually a curse. Where is their contribution the generational wealth they pray for….. *hiss.
Thank you for always bringing real life ethnic issues to the forefront for debate and reorientation. We have to ensure we don't suffer our kids in the same way.
Nonsense, i just want to be cremated, when you are dead you are gone, it's just a body, the spirit has already left.
Phranklin i love your channel do you ever meet up with a positive. Situation where the African family properly treated the Diasporans money and built
Please give info on how a future diasporan can do to forward money safely. Until they get home.
Many blessings you are a great help👍🏽
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you long life and prosperity amen
I wasn't expecting that note. Honestly you should consider Sing🙆🏿♀️🙌🏿 and Happy birthday 🥳🥳🥳
Cremate the darn corpse man!
Humm!!!
This is serious.
I would not even have the argument with them. As soon as the confirm to me they don’t have insurance, I would start making arrangements with the funeral home to cremate them after they are gone. And, wait for them to resurrect to question my decision.
Brother Frank you alright,and it's sad for some of us whose some of our parents are not educated and have all of this knowledge. Some of us parents are old and in Nigeria they can't work any more like farm any more.it's sad and our parents back home they don't have life insurance so people like us whose parents are in Nigeria what can we do when one of of them pass on we would carry everything you. Anyway God helps us. Good work
I hope you are still acting I know you are a Nigeria actor anyway have a nice day
A dead man can't make any demands! They have several options- let the younger sister who thinks it is their duty pay for it, cremate the parents and fly the ashes to Africa when they go for vacation or open a life insurance policy for the parents without their knowledge (the latter is probably best since the kids will have to pay to bury the parents even if it is in the UK.
Go live in Nigeria if you want to be buried there
There's even insurance for funeral costs if you don't want life insurance
It is shocking to hear that some parents are like this. My parents are NOT like this. Not even close. They are the exact opposite, always eager to give me their money. Even though I'm married, with a full time job, they are always asking me if I need help and always reminding me to ask them if I'm ever in need.
Take a policy out on them and pay the premium monthly. I pay 194.00 for both parents. Only 20,000 each but I will have money to put them in the ground.
Happy Birthday Phrankleen.
Happy birthday, my fellow winter baby! You also have a beautiful singing voice. We are all responsible for creating a burial plan since today money is scarce. Don’t put that on someone else.
What do you expect when your dad dies you'll throw your mother on his funeral pyre.
A belated happy birthday Phrankleen. I like your no nonsense attitude. You don’t suffer fools.
Happy birthday long life in good health and in strength many happy returns in JESUS CHRIST NAME AMEN
At the end of the day when you die you could careless were you are buried. You are gone they can do whatever. I am 50/50 on insurance. It's a scam
🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍 Thank you 😊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
