"You owe your parents absolutely nothing, it's not your obligation to take care of them neither is it their right" - Bisi Alimi

According to Nigerian gay right activist, Bisi Alimi, you do not owe your parents the responsibility of taking care of them when they are old except you are still living with them. In a post shared on Facebook, Bisi Alimi has claimed that

"The idea that it is the responsibility of the struggling young to take care of the struggling old is a myth sold to you by the corrupt politicians who have stolen the resources of your commonwealth."

He went on to remind Nigerians that they didn't beg their parents to have sex which led to procreation and as such, they should become their pension scheme.

Here's what he wrote:

"Nigerians, doomed financial vicious circle is when your parents brought you up so you can be their cow to milk, while you look forward to doing same to your children.

I understand that the system is fucked, pension money is being embezzled by stupid greedy politicians, the same ones you worship and bow to, and there is no guarantee for old age, but fuck, the system won't fix itself. If you don't resist, you will be consumed.

The idea that it is the responsibility of the struggling young to take care of the struggling old is a myth sold to you by the corrupt politicians who have stolen the resources of your commonwealth.

Remember, one rich man among 100 poor men will eventually end up being poor.

You only have two commitments in life; yourself and your children and that's until they are old enough to be kicked out of the house.

You do not, I repeat, you do not owe your parents any pay back unless you are still living with them, which means get the fuck out or start paying rent and bills.

Remember, you didn't beg them to have sex, they wanted to have children, it's their choice, you should not be their old age pension scheme.

Only do it if you can and have the resources to, but even with that, know the limit or they will emotionally blackmail you and milk you dry."
