The Cultural Practice Making Nigerians (and Africans) Poor
Black Tax” - a cultural phenomenon deeply rooted in Ubuntu philosophy, where financially successful individuals support extended families. While rooted in compassion and community, it often becomes a double-edged sword, delaying personal financial goals and perpetuating cycles of poverty.

Discover how Black Tax impacts savings, investments, and generational wealth-building, and why financial education, boundary-setting, and community-driven solutions are essential to breaking this cycle. Is it a necessary social responsibility or an invisible chain that holds many back? Let’s discuss.

All for views and likes ? So what happened?
"Le monde entier semble se liguer pour couvrir le Noir de mépris, et ce en dépit des efforts de toute une génération de Noirs, pour modifier cet état de choses. C'est que le Noir, consciemment ou inconsciemment, alimente le racisme dont il est victime : personne n'ose approcher le lépreux et se lier d'amitié avec lui ; on craint ceux qui sont atteints de maladies contagieuses ; de même, parce que le Noir croupit dans la pauvreté et la misère, il est naturel que les autres le fuient et le méprisent. Rien de tel que le << Progrès >>, c'est-à-dire la réussite industrielle et scientifique, pour s'imposer au respect des autres. La réussite matérielle et culturelle exerce sur l'être humain un attrait irrésistible. Quiconque y parvient, quelle que soit sa nationalité ou sa race, ne peut manquer d'en être fier et de provoquer l'admiration de tous. [•••] Le Noir doit se convaincre qu'il n'existe aucune force comparable au succès, et c'est pourquoi l'individu, toute sa vie durant, lui consacre tous ses efforts. Ce qui est vrai pour l'individu, ne l'est pas moins pour une nation ou une race. Que le Noir s'élève donc et soit entreprenant pour en finir avec les préjugés racistes. La prière et la patience sont insuffisantes. Nous devons lutter pour réussir matériellement et, par notre effort et notre énergie propres, produire les résultats palpables qui mesurent le progrès humain." Marcus Garvey
Yes indeed, everyone needs to pull their weight individually so as a community we can all grow together and be successful as a unit. Racial or any kind of prejudice/bias is a lack of respect. Respect isn’t given it’s earned. With success comes prosperity and with prosperity comes respect.
Lovely Video Quality! Many truth in the video but no wisdom in presenting it. I have just two problem with this video. Why are you putting the faces of known people? You can't get away with stuffs like this in modern European countries and North America. Please just be careful on that one. Secondly, On whose command or authority are you making the videos? Is it a heavenly assignment, or you just want to make money off people's popularity? My thoughts Though. Nice Content with few truths!
My mother & father used to send money back home and then when I went back to Nigeria for vacation I saw that not only did they live better than us but also that they didnt even respect us because they thought my parents didnt help them enough. Mind you as kids we went without so that the money that should have been spent on us were given to them. Not even once have I been to Nigeria and those people given us even a snall bag of egusi to take back abroad.
Amazing video. God bless you
This video is one of the worst and saddest examples of how some of us (now in large numbers) have been blindfolded and brainwashed to the point of being incapable of seeing a bigger picture. But worse, it clearly shows how some are consciously participating in their own "identity & cultural destruction" simply because of their lack of self-worth and psychological exploitation by their invaders. To have a disgraceful name associated with this honorable position in our communities is, in my opinion, disgusting to say the least. My deepest RESPECT to all our heroes around the world who still carry this heavy honor in great humility.
When I left the Nigerian pentecostal prosperity church my parents forced me to go to as a child I hated God. Later as an adult I started going to a Baptist bible church that teaches the bible line by line. I dont tithe, I work hard, gain new skills continuously and my businesses are flourishing. No special prayer, no pastor praying over me, no declaring or decreeing etc and money comes in. Most African pastors are in fact scammers especially these pentecostals.
You tried. But not without errors. Please get informed properly first before touching sensitive topics. Some of your video clips are deceptive. Some are containing Drama ministrations that you are here now portraying as “miracle display scam” Please, do a proper investigation next time
Pls can u drop ur contact num,i wish to learn one or two things from ur video creation plsssssss
Nice vide
Statistically impossible in a 1000 that there will not be a miracle. Meaning God is healing people still today. True spirtually as u said is not blind faith...
If it's this simple as u've highlighted, i look forward to you starting your own church
Wow you are dumb. lol
Werey is PAINED!!!! 😂😂😂
Having listened to this video intently, my submission is that there are genuine and there are false men who claim to be from God, and the Bible makes that ABUNDANTLY clear for all to discern that in the latter days MANY FALSE PROPHETS WILL ARISE (Matthew 24:11). A cliche also says "Don't throw away the baby with the bathwater", therefore, while we as Christians should expose the evil works of darkness (fraudsters, fake miracle workers, religious businessmen), we should also not put on the spirit of unbelief in true miracles. And yes, personally, I have been blessed by ministration from genuine servants of God, as well as I also serve God diligently without having to kneel before all so-called "men of God"; So, be wary of absolutes, but judge the issue situationally!
My experience with black tax got me in debt I cut everyone out
Sorry about that and hope you are in a better place now 🙏🏾
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Who are you to judge another man's servant? Focus on your heart. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Leave this alone. You don't know enough to talk about it. Renew your mind.
It saddens me how that nobody talks about the ills that Islamic extremism has done to Nigeria. Everyone, including and especially so-called Christians make hurtful videos like this.
Even when it's staring you in the face??
@@onimehJane Yes. You can't go about accusing pastors of greed or alleging that they scam people. It's not your position to judge them.
@@charlesemmanuel1496 same way the Pharisees said it wasn't in Jesus's position to judge anyone.... So if JESUS spoke against false prophets unapologetically, why shouldn't we? I thought we are supposed to be like JESUS? or is it for selective acts of JESUS? are we to look at wolves and leave them to keep eating the sheeps? Then what kind of witness are we? and what are you asking he should renew his mind to?
@@grazef6 Jesus indeed spoke against corruption and false teachings, but He did this with both truth and love. This poster did not. Perhaps the key is to address specific harmful actions with evidence while still respecting the overall dignity of religious institutions. The goal should be accountability and reform that strengthens authentic faith communities rather than blanket condemnation.
in this life just focus on what you can control... these people are not going anywhere
White people also support their poorer family members it’s not only a black thing!
Helping family in times of need is not the same as being their sponsor.
@ they also sponsor black people have no monopoly on any of this stuff. There are cultural differences perhaps this is one as perhaps it’s more common with black people than it is with white sure.
😂@@Breeze06
White people do not pay their family members a monthly income to do nothing. They MAY help poorer members occasionally but they do not pay them to sit and do nothing unlike in lazy Africa
Great video. I'm subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Your statement is laughable and betrays a staggering ignorance. You claim that pastors accumulate millions daily, but you fail to acknowledge the far more egregious and systemic corruption perpetrated by Islamic extremists and politicians. These individuals often exploit their positions of power to embezzle funds and engage in other forms of terrorism. In contrast, pastors are not public officials; they do not hold elected offices. The financial support they receive comes from willing donations from their congregation. No one is coerced into giving; it is a voluntary act. Your apparent lack of understanding of how churches function is striking. It seems you have never attended a church service or participated in a religious community. Your misinformed opinions only serve to perpetuate harmful stereotypes. I implore you to reassess your priorities and focus on exposing the genuine corruption and abuse of power that plagues our society, rather than unfairly targeting religious leaders.
Like Catholic Church
Great piece❤
Thank you!
Great video
Well, looking through the Paul Pogba situation, it is beyond Black Tax, you can add extortion and kidnapping to it
The first and most important target is your heart ❤. After that, all others; your pocket, time and energy etc etc are fair games.
Guy, you nailed it. I hope it is not too late for them to learn. What goes around comes around. I know ladies making it big in the real estate business without messing around, but these other ones want to make it fast, and society is now conforming to the norms.
How does any self respecting adult believe this nonsense 😂
Well look at Nigeria
Subscribed - people wey normal for this life no plenty again. Everything is upside down. Good is now Bad, and Bad is now Good.
if you people who go to church really read their bible with understanding instead of waiting for their pastors to read it for them they would realise that they don't have to pay anything to the church, not tither nor the offering both of these were given for specific reasons, it is not law that anybody pay any of this, God doesn't need your money, but your pastor does and he will lie for it
Not even that church is a waste of time. The time used to listen to those false prophets you can use that day to better your life, work hard. But people like to pray their life away hoping a miracle will happen when the same bible says “faith without works is dead”
You who don't go to church, why are you so pained? I would love to see you talk about the ills that go on with other religions also. But you'll argue it's not your business. So how is it your business when the church hasn't seen a dime of your money? And if for any laughable reason you have ever given a cent in church, was it at gunpoint? Did the ushers hold a gun to your head? Shameless lots
@@asphettochurch is not a waste of time thoo but I get what you're trying to say
@@asphettothe reason why people think that the church is a waste of time is because of false prophets that are after people's money. But thank God, he's raising new teachers on social media going after all these evil people.
Blame insta
No, Insta is not the culprit; it is just a showcase of what Nigerian culture is really like. Instagram and social media reflect back to us what we are really like.
They have figured out how to tell a story with their bodies. You should also figure out how to sell your product without your body and grab attention from scrollers on social media. It’s all marketing.
same with skit people o
Why are you worried about what grown woman do. Look in the mirror. I'm sure there is something you can judge. Women had butt and hips for decades. She is fully clothed. People's being a pervert don't fall on her. Grow up
For the second video, my heart breaks. The woman with the hourglass dress on was supposed to represent was Jesus, the Living Lord. His heart breaks because time is running out for this generation. Dear Lord, please uncook us.
For the real estate videos, yes, its pretty much $3x trapping. but lets be honest. Most of us actually want it that way and may not even mind our own daughters doing the same as long as it brings in that cash. May Jesus help us.
Na only you dey for this
Hahahaha Loved that line "how about making sure that God's art work doesn't keep people distracted from His message"
With this video quality, this channel should grow quick. Well done sir
Thank you for the heads up and great insights
That's what happens when you don't put an age restriction on the internet from kids. no its not all kids... but most are, most have free time... and the majority will always dictate how a market operates.
3:42 The difference is almost comical 😂
See better content!! 👏👏👏 Well done
Glad you liked it.
When this stop working, then what.
@5:00 The person who is paying that influencer is the one losing the most. Her video is supposed to be dominated by women admiring her dress and asking: how much? Instead it's thirsty men looking at her big nyash and they will not buy anything from her.
I totally agree with you and shame should be brought back ... the bible verse comment really hit me deep.
Great video, nice editing! Keep posting, new subscriber here 🎉
Well said... It is now a social standard, and it will impact young females who truly want to achieve something decent with their careers.
Absolutely. It also messes up people’s minds to start thinking all women who are successful or into certain businesses are like that.
Commenting for the algorithm!
