Op nothing got me more than your personal text on your profile. Hmmmmmn As for your story. Even my dad keeps singing the names of the people who ganged up against him in his office which lead to his early retirement all because................ Well, if our parents are enemies, should we the children also carry on?. Sspeter. We offend God a lot and he forgives us. You have offended people too and they forgave u. The thing is the truth must be said. No matter the consequences. If your brother finds out later or after marriage , shebi na parents to parents fight. This one will become ancestral and generational fight o. Your brother must no but please you must not influence his decision. The earlier he knows the better. 2 Likes |

Marry into the family and watch the man suspect that y'all seeking avenue to get back the already gone property. I doubt the girl's father know whom he is dealing with? Sounds like a script from a movie. 10 years later............... ACTION!!!! 1 Like |

Let your brother know the truth and the family he is getting married into. You owe him that much. It's so easy for people to talk about forgiveness when they're not directly affected. 2 Likes |

Don't listen to people who tell you to forget this. Restore the dignity of your family. Do everything in your power to stop this marriage. Your family was insulted by this man. Don't take it lightly. Be a man. 2 Likes |

ladyF: Very correct. That family will also not hesitate to use their daughter to attack her husband in the future. It might be to divorce him and collect his property in America. @ OP, How can the girl's parents even look your family eye to eye and form happy in-laws? Children learn things from their parents. I won't risk marrying a girl from such a family. She might appear "cool-headed" now, they usually are until marriage. Then they show their true colours. Olorun maje. 3 Likes |

OP, I took the liberty of reading your post. And thanks for seeking advice/posting it on this forum for us to learn a lesson or two. I feel your pain. Time heals all wounds, but some scars linger to eternity. I believe your brother deserve to know the truth. If you don't tell him, someday he may find out. Your parents may be long gone then but you will share in the blame. Keeping such a sensitive matter secret will cause more harm than good. It's good your parents have forgiven, but the records should be set straight. Your brother has vowed to deal with the family that ruined your family's. Imagine him finding out years later that this same evil family is the one he married into? The trauma can only be imagined. I believe you should present the matter in a matured way. Don't sound bitter and vengeful, just let him know this is the truth. It's up to him to make his decisions. A lie hidden even for a thousand years will see the light of truth someday. Finally, I appeal you let go of all bitterness towards this family. It's not easy but you can if you make an effort. Forgiveness is divine. The greatest teacher of love admonished us to practice forgiveness. NB : I don't really see it as an act of disobedience to your parents telling your brother. Your parents may have forgiven, but you, your brother and other siblings need to equally forgive then. Hence the necessity of telling your brother and other siblings. I believe you all suffered in one way or the other back then because of the callousness of that family. 4 Likes |

SSpeter: In as much as i feel your pain i still feel that telling your brother will make much different except your destroying your brothers happiness. Mind you we offend God and he is merciful to us how much more you mortal body.........please dont dwell too long on grudges it wunt lead you anywhere.But a bitter end Look at this scenario,a situation where your son will end up marrying from same mans lineage,how about that ? Let God fight your case and move on God bless you. |

I was going to say tell him but if life can be so ironic as to bring your brother and the man's daughter together, I sure as hell know this won't be the end of the story. Don't be the one to open the Pandora's box, let life do that for him. Your story sounds too Africa Magic sha |

myfantasies:May GOD bless u. U just said my mind. It's better u open the pandoras box. A broken Relationship is always better than a Broken marriage. What's the essence of asking about FAMILY HISTORY, when some people here see it as being Useless...? I encourage such people to Marry the Daughter of a Harlot. I can compromise when it comes to anything but not MARRIAGE and where I visit to worship GOD. 3 Likes |

Your moniker is like that of a believer. So I assume u are one. Jesus says love ur enemies, it is difficult to achieve that, but it is possible. If that is not achievable, the barest minimum is hate no one. Hate distroys the heart it inhabits. Don't distroy yourself. Let bygone be bygone. God almighty is God of vengeance. Leave vengeance to him. Move on life is about the future, don't wallow in the past. What you said happened is painful, but you don't have the whole facts. After all the supposed culprit used the instrument of law, so he might even be right. Enough said. Let he who has ears heed an humble advise. 1 Like |

zukko:feel which pain? Like she won't move on if he leaves. The op is over-reacting. In a legal battle, there is always a winner and a loser. Apparently, the girl's family was right and the op's family has been duped by the girl's uncle. Once a judgement has been given by the court, the sane thing to do first is to obey even before appealing for any other thing; if they had moved out before the expiry of the time given, they won't have been forcefully evicted. Dear Op, you are getting overtly emotional. Ruining their relationship is not the end of the world and they will both live. Don't be surprised your brother will be at the losing end. Your parents have moved on perhaps because they know there is little or nothing they can do against the law, you should move on too. What I dont understand is the entitlement right you feel you have towards your big bro's life and relationship and why you feel you're paying back the girl's dad by destroying her relationship.. you may just be an answer to the prayer of a major toaster if you make ur bro leave. Life will def go on. 3 Likes |

There is a saying in Yoruba that 'you don't marry the man/lady but the family'. It is also important there is a knowledge of the family history according to the real Yoruba culture before marriage. All that we say are not applicable in our modern life anymore. In this case they are. Your brother need to know the truth. So that he won't blame anyone for whatever happen when he gets to know after the marriage. He may choose to go ahead or not with the marriage as the decision of spending the remaining of his years on earth with her is for him to make and of course not yours. Your informing him I don't think it's a revenge but a responsibility. Your parents need to inform him and too and not pretend that all is well. If they feel they have forgiven really they should be able to say without pretence. If I may ask have you guys gone to the bride's family. 1 Like 1 Share |

I support you send the message. Your brother deserves to know the kind of family he is dealing with. For God's sake, how can people advise him not to tell his brother about such? Is he going to keep the truth away from his blood brother all his life? Please, press the send button now. If your brother now decides to still go ahead with the wedding, then you are free from blame resulting from any occurrence in the future. |

oglalasioux: Stopping the marriage is not his business. BUT... his Egbon needs to know the whole truth. Imagine a scenario where 5 or 10 years later, the girl's parents make her to deal mercilessly with his Egbon. And then the OP now comes out with all he knows about his in-laws. Would that not be "betraying" Egbon on such a crucial life matter like marriage?? 2 Likes |

SSpeter: bro, you have to tell your brother before its to late, but if you dont tell him and he is married nd he finds out he may choose to destroy d marriage. But if you tell him now, not to destroy there relationship but to let him know that the man he promise to get one day is going to be his inlaw, he will choose what he want, maybe to continue. But you dont have choice to make for your brother. Mind you, if he says he want to marry her like that you must accept, but let him know the truth. |

If I say I understand how you feel.. I am a liar Because I haven't been in such delima But the little I know is An eye for an eye doesn’t work..! Forgive them. Not because they deserve it but because you want peace..! Sooner or later, your brother will still find out and it's worse and more disheartening to find out from a third party agent rather than from his family. Forward the mail to him.. Not a mail of revenge oo Your brother will man-up and face the situation..! And when love conquers all, your brother too will forgive and forget and everyone goes home happy 1 Like |
