YES, I strongly believe that as a child, if your parents have provided for you, trained and invested in you to become a better person in the nearest future! It is the law of nature and humanity that makes children to take care of their parents not by force toh! It is necessary to repatriate this good deeds back to them as they grow old and fragile! To crown it all, May we have kind and compassionate children, not the heartless ones! 1 Like 1 Share |

No one forces anybody to care....i've not seen any law that says one must care for parent or go to jail......there's only law for child supoort and spouse.... Caring for parent or other family is just seen as a moral thing to do if you have the resources...so people only expect you to out of being the right thing ....just as people tackle rich celebs and other rich folks for not helping the community they came out from.... its a moral thing So Whats your point exactly?? people should care for their parents at all because they ddnt ask to come to this world.??.. or parents shouldnt ask their children for help when they need...?? Heck!! Strangers i dont know ask me for help and i do it...sometimes i help without them asking...its just a moral thing to do... Jeez !!!!What is wrong becoming of humanity 1 Like |

Klass99: Good take my dear...its actually expected that children should take care of their parents but on the other hand I think it's easier said because you had parents that actually catered for you..what will you do if lets say your father was sexually abusive towards you or your parents just put you in an orphanage home and when they found out you were successful now tried to come back into your life will you still do the same? 3 Likes |

If you look around, you will realise that not every child cares for their parents, whether with cash favours or sheer compassion. And this inhumane act is regardless of parent's good contribution to that child's upbringing. Personally, I am of the opinion that a child should strive to take care of his/her parents in his/her own capacity, particularly if they have done the same for you in your formative years. After all, ain't we suppose to care for those we love? |

HowardWolowitz:You are right that the choice is the child's and rightly so, hence the reason why there are no laws that mandate such things. ![]() |

Islandlady: yes, and parents should strive to save up against old age. Not every child is compassionate. Besides, the growing trend of individualism among this generation coupled with the bad state of our economy are limiting the child-to-parent expected repatriation. |

I just pity those in Nigeria giving birth and expecting their kids to provide for them. Provide for you with what? Sand or stone. How many jobs are in Nigeria and how many even pay well to care for one person monthly. If you give birth expecting your kids to care for you in old age then you are stupid. What happens to retirement funds, pension plans, investments. Kids that havent even cared for themselves would care for old parents ![]() ![]() ![]() People should stop thinking as kids as investments. Even if you send them to the best schools in Nigeria with money you ought to use to plan your retirement theres a 99 percent chance of them being unemployed or underemployed ![]() 2 Likes |

Have you noticed it is people from poverty-stricken homes that ask these type of questions? "Are children supposed to take care of their parents (even in old age)?" Poverty denied them the opportunity of growing up with the basic needs of being a human being, I'm talking about good quality food, a comfortable home, sound education etc. and when they become adults or start nearing adulthood, they become afraid that they may never experience any luxury in life so they start asking if they should even care for their aging parents. They ask such so they can justify their acts of neglecting their parents when they are old and frail. Nigerians do not value human life so I am not surprised this kind of debate is in the public space. 5 Likes 1 Share |

HowardWolowitz: Normal thinking of a youth who thought he's too enlighten to read meaning to a natural cause. It is quite unfortunate that the White you people are coping wrongly are not thinking the same way. Go and check very well, majority of them are living with their parents, infact their parents plays a major role in their lives and decisions even as adults. Anyway, when you start training children, you will know the importance of being taking care of by your children when you are old. |

If you live a fulfilled life yourself, you wouldn't need your kids to turn your life around financially. If for some reasons, you couldn't achieve all that you planned or wished for, don't force it, just remain hopeful that the forces that worked against you from achieving your dreams won't work against your kids. Nobody has the perfect formula. Repatriation, in this context, isn't much about what your kids can do for you but more about what you did, what you're doing, and what you can do for your parents. Don't expect your kids to buy you a cow when you couldn't buy a cow tail for your (own) parents. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Klass99: My take is the same is yours...but my main take is that children shouldn't be disturbed about continuing the bloodline or raising families if they don want to...African parents are fond of that especially mothers just so that they can call theirselves grandparents and be proud...especially with the way things have changed in the world...people shouldn't be forced to bring children into the world if they're not comfortable with it 3 Likes |
