My Relative Abandoned His Children In My Home by stressedout: 7:56pm On Jul 25, 2017
I am a hustling young nigerian and although i am comfortable, i cant afford to cater for another. One of my relation from the village visited me last 3 weeks here in calabar. I dont really know him well but i have met him just once in a meeting back in the village.

He came with his 2 boys of 7 and 11 years, begging me to take one and school him while he helps me with house duty. As i am a bachelor i declined and said i did not have money and also did not need a help. He begged that they cant even see food to eat and such things but i still refused. I dont even know how he got my address. I allowed them to sleep over since it was late and told him to go back the next day.

When the next day came (a saturday) he said let him go to the atm to get money to transport them back to the village. He left the boys and went out. Afternoon came and i started getting worried as he had not returned. He wasnt picking calls until 10pm when he called me and said i should not be angry that let the boys just do holiday in my house, that he will pick them the next day and then switched off his phone.

i havent been able to reach him since then. He just disappeared and abandoned his sons with me. Its more than 15 days now. I have called people, nobody knows his wearabouts. Nobody in the village agreed to collect the boys. They said he and the family moved to PH years ago. The boys are finishing my food and they are not telling me where they live. I even threatened to throw them out but they still refused to talk. I am just confused and angry. What do i do? this man has disorganized my life

I think this country is finally in the ruins. Only God can safe us. I would find time to take them to the village head, if I were you. You don't have any choice, just return them. grin

Wonders shall never end..

Since you can't afford to take care of them, it's better you inform the police and any orphanage around your side.

Maybe they can temporarily look after the children till their father arrives. Please what of their mother?

Ah! Return them to the village or bundle them to an orphanage.
It is like your village people do not want you to have peace. First your friend chase you from his house because of milk. You moved to your own place only for your neighbor's kid to start treating you anyhow, now your relative has dumped his kids on you.

Na wa o. OP, I know it's very annoying and disappointing but do the best you can. Don't get frustrated and angry. Inform the police and start rationing the boys food. Where is the mother of the boys? Can you trace their grandparents in the village? All they need is shelter and food. I pray God blesses you. They must have been really hungry. If school is free around you, government school, enroll them so that they are not at home eating you dry. That their father has run away and won't be coming back any time soon. Do your best to how your conscience permits. Try to treat them well but keep your money and ATM cards safe.

Op remember how you were angry with your neighbor who asked you to move out of his house after he accommodated you for months despite your jobless and self entitled state?
Yet you can't house X2 relatives for a month but your neighbor who isn't even remotely related to you fed/housed you for months on end and all you could do was to come online and bash him

Trust nairalanders to go dig out the past. I'd even forgotten that milk story cheesy
Please send those boys to the orphanage. Human beings are incomprehensible.
This man that supposedly can't take care of two children will probably end up impregnating another woman soon. Irresponsible people

Mr "3 spoons of milk" just take care of them for the holidays nau all they need is just food and shelter.

On a more serious note report to the nearesr police station what happened just in case , and feed them what you can afford till their papa comes back for them. Those boys can say you are their relative if they are questioned.

Sorry you hear just manage them, that's if your story is true anyway.

Your stories are always hilarious.
First, you were chased out of the house because you took some spoonfuls of your friend's milk.
Second, your female neighbor and her wahala.

Now someone has abandoned his 2 boys for you to feed. Better go and make peace with your village people, they are seriously on your case
