What does “black tax” really mean — and is it even the right term?
In this episode of TwentyOne Minutes, we unpack the financial and emotional pressure many Nigerians abroad face when supporting family and extended networks back home. From Christmas money and medical emergencies to unspoken expectations and guilt, we talk honestly about where support ends and self-preservation begins.
Living in Canada, the UK, and Nigeria, we bring three different perspectives to the same question: is this pressure a uniquely Black experience, or is it better understood as a cultural responsibility rooted in communal life?
We explore:
• Why many Nigerians abroad feel constant pressure to send money home
• The emotional guilt that comes with saying no
• How family expectations differ between Nigeria and Western countries
• Whether sharing your income creates more problems than it solves
• When helping becomes unsustainable
• Why the term “black tax” may not tell the full story
This conversation isn’t anti-family or anti-support. It’s about honesty, boundaries, and understanding the realities of life abroad beyond the assumptions.
If you’ve ever felt torn between helping your people and protecting your own future, this episode is for you.
