"Nigerian parents don't chastise children who contribute financially to the family


 "Growing up in Nigeria, I learned one thing quick  once you start bringing money home, everything changes.


Before I made it with music, I was just the youngest in the house. My opinions didn’t really count. You know how Nigerian parents are they love you, but they believe children should stay in their place. But the moment I started contributing, even just small, the whole vibe shifted.


Suddenly, I wasn’t “too young” to talk. They started listening more, respecting my decisions, even asking for my thoughts. That’s because Nigerian parents value effort. They see when you’re trying, when you’re carrying part of the load. It’s not just about the money  it’s about showing that you’re serious.


That’s how it works here. If you’re helping the family, they won’t chastise you like before. They treat you different. Even if you’re the last born, money and responsibility will make them see you in a new light.
