It is the Nigerian mentality. They consider you below class when you do certain jobs as if it is spirits that will come to do those jobs. Funny thing is, you might even be doing far better than the people who are supposedly doing "classy/choice jobs" but Noooo, just becos he/she isn't sweeping people's rooms, or washing plates, it means he/she is living a successful dream life and job. Very stupid mindset to be honest

@StarInc7 Год назад

@@tinuoshunkoya Make sure when you make the money, you enjoy first! Those who spite you for working anywhere still beg you money! You then decide whether to give or not. However I DO NOT agree and I KNOW its NOT only Nigerians or in Nigeria that people think that way. Even abroad, some doctors look down on nurses,same nurses you hold in high regard and same in several other professions. God created all colour ALIKE. Abroad, people do many disgusting things, you don't don't want to know, but they do it SUBTLY...not loud about it but it will still be obvious at some point either way. Many can't come out just because of the laws, if they could, some of them can even spit on your face. The way people discriminate may defer but its THE SAME behaviour....DISCRIMINATION, STIGMA e.t.c. Lets make our point, many problems in Nigeria exist in other places...let's focus on the problem. Being foreign is not automatic "common sense", or "good manners/reasoning"

@estherelufowoju3166 Год назад

This is just me this reminded me of when I had to relocate from UK to Nigeria to give my son sound education, morals, culture etc. Most people drop their kids in boarding but i sacrificed the 10 years stayed with him, resigned from my banking job here just to make sure everything went the way I had wanted and planned. Today we are back and everybody could tell and see the difference in him.My main reason relocating then was because of him being a single mum I hated the idea of dropping him off at child minders or with friends just running after money, not only that bring up a male child alone in this environment is very challenging but, back home I set up my my own business and had full custody of him today it's all history and he is a 24 year old successful man, graduate and now work in his chosen career. Now am back pursing my career and he is forever grateful, i mean so much to him and he is glad having both worlds.

As a child who was part of a generation of children of West African descent fostered out to white families in rural England in the 60s, 70s & 80s, severed from our cultural roots and connection to our community. Hearing this message warms my heart. When the transmission of culture is disrupted through these separations early on in life it makes it much harder to hold on to a sense of pride and to create a positive identity that can withstand the anti black racist narrative that is part of the fabric of Western society. The love she has for her children is palpable. We cannot underestimate the power of healthy parental bonds 💓

@easyware Год назад

@Grace & Mercy Not necessarily. The unemployment benefits that the citizens receive is often more than they pay of these menial jobs so many don't even bother to do these jobs... even of they wanted to. Once they start working, their unemployment benefits would be stopped or reduced, so it's often better for then to remain unemployed than to do the menial jobs. That's why it's mostly immigrants who do them.

I love that sentence There is dignity in labour. I remember seeing Mrs Sobowale at Heathrow airport rushing to go catch her plane. She looked harried and her cream-colour blouse was rumpled. I recognised her and gave her a hug to let her know she was a loved artist. I hope that gave her some joy as it did me.

Any type of honest earning that will put food on your table and help you pay your way through life is the way to go. Empty pride is one of the issues Africans have. So many people want to be boss without the work. Flaunt your 👑 ma'am.

Sir, thanks for bringing my mom to the show; all what she's telling you are nothing but the fact because it's not easy in overseas countries right now because if you say you're big man in Nigeria, here in overseas countries nothing like that but to hustle for yourself.

So proud of you and of myself too. I did same to the US in 2002 , as a Vice Principal in a Secondary school to forgo the idea of getting to the peak of my career in order to secure the future of my children as a single mom. My first daughter was already in her 1st year at FUTA, Akure and I was already taking loans from Cooprative societies due to non payments of salaries and allowances!! Lord! I return all glory to God and thanks to my 2 siblings who God used for us to facilitate and ease the relocation. May God intervene in Nigeria situation in Jesus's name. O ga!

This video has loads of contents that is so dear to me. Back in 2003 at boniwuji cyber cafe, Chude would come in, spend countless hours researching contents, then Funmi Iyanda was the rave. Right there at the same cafe, was where i started my software engineering journey. This is 2022, 19 years later, Chude is a big shot doing what he loves graciously. I didn't fail too, I still code for a company here in New Jersey, and hope my startup will kick off this year. As for Mrs Sobowale and all the REAL mothers out there, thank you for enabling our dreams come true.

Aww, watching this interview l cried too but happy tears for you ma. @ Shola Shobowale and look at where you are now. Blessed, highly respected and successful in life + l love you in and out of screen ma. You are one to emulate. When l see my brothers and sisters in diaspora being lazy and choosy about menial jobs. l shake my head at them. A few years down the line they become depressed and blame the system when their mates have gone very far. Then whose to blame? Rome wasn't built in day. The good Bible states about the works of our hand with due diligence the good Lord will Bless it one-day.

I have always been rooted for this woman from the days of Iya Surutu. I was pretty young then. Watching her then always give me joy. So at some point in my teenage/adulthood age, I question the universe that where is aunty Sola Sobowale??? Cause I didn’t hear of her during those time in my tertiary school days. I was so worried and curious at the same time, that I prayed from my heart then. That God keep you for me/us oh. Cause I want to meet you someday But thank God, here we are today 😊😊😊😊. I still haven’t meet you though, but I know some day, we will meet in Jesus name. I love you so much ma. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for making my childhood happy memories. Thank you Aunty Sola Sobowale. Thank you!!! 🥹😘😘
