“In less than two years with his oga, he had sent over ₦750,000 to his parents, ₦500,000 to his girlfriend, ₦420,000 on betting, ₦700,000 on frivolities, and still has over ₦1.7 million in a savings account.”
“From his phone conversations, it was evident that his parents were demanding this money from him. Some parents are enablers of the societal decadence we face today. This is why a 20-year-old boy with no known source of income can come home with a Benz, and his parents would celebrate.”

@ImmaJF: “Meanwhile a father from my mom’s place refused to let his son drive into his compound for over a week, untill he provided proof of his legitimate work. Turned out that the man hit a jackpot with bitter cola and cashew nuts export. You’re right. It’s on the families.”
@official_maxiee: “That’s how my cousin was stealing from my brother na e roofu bee nna ya na village and also sending to his family and umu asa. My cousin oo, someone that his parents call my brother often and he sort them out. I wish he knew the plans my Bro had for him, ndi mmadu nwere obi.”
@CHIBEZZE: “A 17y/o who happens to be from the same family with his Oga was averaging 1.5m every month in transactions in his Palmpay account alone for about 5-6months before he was discovered. Ụmụaka nwelu obi.”
@LadyGrasha: “Yes please. Some of the decadence in the society starts from the home. Even with girls too. Parents see a girl that’s not working with expensive gadgets and attires but won’t ask questions. All these things are enabling.”
@DatNaijaGuy1: “Bad governance aside, so many Nigerians are terrible people. Never you think you know a Nigerian until you have tried him with money.”
@EmmyMics: “I’ve always maintained the stance that the average Nigerian is wicked and greedy and we’re a direct replica of the people we put in power.”
@glucosezaddy90: “Almost dated a girl who was jobless at the time, trying to get something doing. She was taking a course to up skill so she’ll get into job hunting properly. Father texted her to demand 1M and when she said she didn’t have, this man started insulting her. Yes some families enable.”
@Juicyjacez247: “When I left my father’s house to serve oga,he warned me against all and he didn’t reach out to me for once. For almost eleven years,I played according to the rules and leaving my father’s house saved my life cos I would’ve be dead by now cos if stubbornness.”
@IamArmani8: “First: Nigerian moms are the greatest reasons this is happening. The pressure they heap on their wards are immense, especially when their friends children are doing better. Secondly: we can never blame the government enough!! B4 Nigeria will change, the govt must take the lead.”
