generational poverty
- Thread starter wrongturn
- Start date
Wealthy politician will educate his children in schools teaching the British or American curriculum. The kids will learn social skills, make important connections with children of people who matter, and then go abroad to finalize their studies. Wakirudi huku they have connections that a peasant can only dream of, pesa ya mbuyuz, and foreign exposure. The remaining ones wanakuwa TV and radio presenters earning millions per month. That way, wealth keeps rotating in certain families at the top. Their grandfathers did business together, their fathers are doing business together and because these kids schooled together and hang out at the same joints, they will do business together.
agreed.
and can the peasants do business together and grow? NO.
it will always be easier for the rich/1% to unite than the peasants/99%.
the peasants will always PULL themselves down while the rich LIFT themselves up.
but by the end of the day, whether we like it or not, we can't all be rich. we should try and make sure we can take care of our NEEDS. those lucky to take care of their WANTS, good for them.
we as AFRICANS/BLACKS should also accept we live in their (non-Black/African) world.
and their world dictates a child or children are a liability, not an asset.
if you get a child, don't throw your dreams/responsibilities into them. let them live their life.
the generational poverty continues coz the parents get 5 children and throw the responsibility of raising the kids to the most "successful".
then the kids get more children, give them the responsibility, and the cycle continues.
maybe we should stop getting many children who we can't take care of and also giving them parental responsibilities. (or wait till their world collapses and resets to our world).
but after all, is said and done, its the MEN who can stop this generational curse

At some point you have to cut the umbilical cord and live your life. People will celebrate you when you waste money building masions for your old parents instead of setting a good foundation for your self and kids. You brothers and sisters will expect help in school fees for their kids but will go ahead and have more children and an early age than you who is helping. You have to cut the cord, not everyone is meant to break the cycle of poverty

Thanks @wrongturn. This is a great thread.
Awesome, we see this everyday even today. A good example is with the older generation, utawaona hapa fearing to speak out and always supporting even government when things are not going right. because that is what their fathers told them. Quite insightful. Only sad bit is that they are also teaching their children to avoid speaking out

Depends on the house condition, If they have a decent house no need to show off building them new house, it would be better to give them that cash wamumunye pole pooole. Of course sometimes it may be necessary to build a big one for your security if you happen to become a ministerUmecheza Kama Mwanaume- Akothee Congratulates YY Comedian For Building His Mother A House
