I dont know if this is right because i think it is non of my business, but on a second thought i have to ask this on a public forum so that i can witness undiluted first hand response from Nigeria's biggest online forum.

I have seen people from wealthy home having access to their fathers wealth, they are being fed well, attend the best schools in town, some of them are comfortable not by their hustle but by the hustle of their wards and some start driving right from their teenage years, they do not even need to suffer soon after graduation because their family ties and connection can land them a comfortable jobs.

Also i have seen others from a wealthy background, but they dont seem to have come from a comfortable home, what i feel is that they are from a strict home, i thought may be there popsy wants to instill in them the zeal to be independent in life to be able to achieve and live their own dreams.

SO finally i would like to know your opinion, is it right to demand or is it your right to demand from your father assistance for financial freedom?

Some individuals are a thorn in the flesh in their family, they demand or insist on financial assistance, example my mum's friend son wanted to commit suicide just because he felt he is from rich home and should be supplied money when he needs them, some fathers are like go make your own money i have done my best to train you in school, LETS HAVE YOUR OPINION, WOULD WISH IF THIS SERIOUS MATTER HITs THE FP.

It is not your right to demand for anything you did not work for
It is only a privilege

VERY VERY VERY WRONG , don't ever depend on your father's wealth. Why won't you work hard to make your own wealth when you have all the cards on the table? That your dad is wealthy is a good start but just don't fold your arms and depend on the man's wealth.

Once you are 18(or at the age of maturity as determined by your society), you cannot expect to get all that you want. When you do get them, you should show appreciation.


Nevertheless, I see nothing wrong with spending your parents money. Why do they have it if not so you can spend it?

But a child is to be trained to know how to spend it. Spending it right is the koko jare.

write2obi: We tend to be very lazy and wayward if we come from a wealthy home, The Old man owns the money and he gives to who ever he pleases, My Dad never let us touch his car or mum's, we grow us knowing we have to stand for our self's, all ur Old man owe you is sound education and proper upbringing, you go and make your own money

Nothing wrong with getting money from the old folks Imo.

Imagine that Dangote didnt get that famous 500k naira that he started with from his uncle?

There is no need to start from the scratch if ones parents already tilled the soil.

@deols

Was it a gift or a loan to dangote from dantata

Answering your question, NO..... It is not good for someone to depend on his father's wealth.

However, a good father leaves inheritance for his children's children...... The key is training up your children in becoming responsible adults, with that, they will know how to utilize their father's wealth responsibly.

If my papa was the owner of the old "bobby hotel" on Ikorodu road, the hotel wouldn't have turned out to be den of thieves. Bobby hotel will today be an household name for hospitality.

The Key is training and self-training

It is a right for a child to inherit from his father (Parents)

A good father leaves inheritance for his children and children's children.

However, a child should be trained on the way he (she) go, so that when he is old, he will NOT depart from it.

if the father provided a good career for his kids, its up to him how he wants to handle his wealth.

however, its not my business really, so, dunno @ topic.

should strangers enjoy the wealth?

Excellent question

If I do not have a right to my parent's wealth, who will or whose wealth would I enjoy?

If your Papa na Bill gates would you start applying as a messenger?
