We need old-money families to remember their heritage

Start offering us money to leave your children. [View in browser](=.DzUSfhWKSp0oqr9QhO4a2W330d1h1tdDMpiMlMMF8-c) [Zikoko Daily] 6 May, 2024 Hey . If you were on Nigerian Twitter (or X) this weekend, you know it was crazyyyy. The gist even made it to Instagram. A particular old-money family wrote a press release to deny someone their child was marrying. Petty, yes. But what happened to “Take this ₦100m and leave my son alone”? Isn’t that how we used to do it in Old Nollywood? Bring back the old-money glory days, please.

I finally found one. His story will make you feel things.] He pounded fufu for a living in JSS 3 “When I first started, I used to pound the fufu with my uniform so I could just rush to school after. But one day, I tried to talk to a girl I liked in school and she started squeezing her nose like I was smelling. I went to the back of the class and smelled my armpit. Omo, I was smelling like one-week-old fufu. Nobody taught me before I started wearing a singlet to pound the fufu before changing into my uniform.” Now, he’s a furniture apprentice — with no salary “Working without salary is normal in this system, but my oga barely feeds us. The apprentices are only sure of breakfast because we live in his house. We have to close the warehouse, so we get home late at night, and by then, every other person in the house has eaten dinner. Sometimes, you see food; sometimes, you don’t see anything.” [Read his NairaLife here](=.dC0d6mRrD3ZF8yB19yuUJ8n1NaBF_7v6OimWh4lr97g) *We'll be tweeting answers to this on our Twitter account at noon, so feel free to tweet us your answers with the hashtag [#ZikokoDailyQuiz](#) --> Zikoko Daily's Top 3 Operation “Find a rich family” is in full effect I refuse to believe old money families no longer offer you money to break up with their children.
