OMGGGGGGG bro,you kill me with laughter😃..
That's my mum always im the trouble one.
Today bc of my own decisions im proud of me.
Some yorubas ARE CHILD ABUSERS AND MURDERERS.
The strange thing with this religion thing is that it is a fairly recent phenomenon…Christianity did not really take hold until the generation of people born in the 1940s and 50s yet they are hyper-religious…you would think Nigerians had been Christians for centuries or even thousands of years the way that particular generation acts. I'm not too sure about the history of Islam in Nigeria or the rest of Africa so I cannot speak to that.
"They've sent you to university"… In my experience, African parents do not pay for university the way western parents do for their children. The African child pays their own way (whether by working, taking loans, scholarships, grants or some combination). Yet the African parent will be demanding or expecting that the child go to university and will even want to dictate which university, what degree, what career, etc.
Most African men lack the spine to say no to their parents, it's the truth. I'm Ghanaian, the youngest of 5 and definitely the most risk taking. I've seen our community especially our men highly lack the spine to speak stand up against abuse, either from parents, managers, coworkers or friends. I see so many African people accept crap roles they're far better than so they can "stay in their lane". Yet we're quick to throw temper tantrum at our women, we need some growing up to do.
I would say right is right even when no one does it!
wrong is wrong even when everyone does it
This Is gaslighting! Parents trying to show that you know alot of nothing your doing except the money you give them is all you understand! Time is changing but their mindset is static to what they know and value. We fail because of living in the past and not in the present!
Bro! You speak nothing but FACTS!
Awesome
I really like it. " Hit the thumb bottom". Is done Phrank
Awon adofuro got me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
I am almost 30 and you need to see the tears my mom pulls off on her WhatsApp chats asking why I don't want kids or give her grandchildren (I'm an only child). She doesn't care about the man or me being married or having a supportive partner, all she wants are kids. She had me in high school and was fortunate to have a mother who took charged and cared for me.
She goes, you have way more than I had back then and you never lacked, why do u cry that you don't have money to care for a child now. Dang! they don't understand that we barely have change in our pockets after paying bills, talkless of savings then add a child when you are not prepared just to please you? No way! Not with the knowledge and information I have now on financial literacy and preparing a future for my child(ren). I will have them when I'm ready if I can't there's room for adoption.
Oh my! What the whiteman's bible and religion has done to our people and community is horrible. To think that it was this same whiteman who brought it to us yet we have carried it like facecap on our heads.
Another thing is this thinking that you should have many children. I live in the US 🇺🇸. I remember my uncle in Africa has over 10 children and my relatives including myself have to send money montly for him to take care of his children
Now everyone on this planet wants on desires children or marriage
Love is where you find it
Marriage is not for the parents…its for the man or woman who is going to be in the marriage.
A lot of Nigerian parents end up destroying the lives of not just their daughters but sons too by this stupid and reckless pressure to get married. What a lot of Nigerian parents fail to realise is that it is of paramount importance to allow their sons and daughters to make their own choices in life especially when it comes to marriage, because let’s not forget your daughter or son have to plan their future with that choice for the rest of their lives, there is nothing like a “Perfect marriage”, but it’s important to allow your son or daughter to make their own choices and also take their time in making that important choice. You must never ever put your daughter or son under pressure to get married, it’s the most important decision any human being will ever make and it’s important to give your son or daughter the time and space to make that important decision.
Either extremes is harmful. Extreme religion or extreme decadence and worldliness.
Parents should not force a child to marry someone they don't love. Just raise the child wise and inteliggent so they can choose the right person.
My parents grew up in very conservative homes, but they were such free spirited and open minded people. They always taught us to have a mind of our own and go for what makes us happy, but never compromise our integrity in the course of searching for happiness. Too bad they're not here anymore. Listening to you brought back a flood of good memories I forgot they existed. After listening to some of these stories, I just realized how blessed my siblings and I were, and would have been in this scenario if life didn't turn out otherwise. Love the topic 🙂

I just started watching you and I love your conversations!
Please do not equate racism to homophobia.
