Hi all, why would anyone not want to be close to their cousins or their aunts but are close to their immediate family ?

And is it strange for there not to be a cordial relationship between cousins?

Nobody wants to expand his responsibility. The economy is not friendly.

Most of us don't just like wahala from extended family.
The smaller your circle the less your worries.

Some are not necessarily social, they keep to their close circle

Some are trying to avoid unnecessary billing and see finish

Some are trying to avoid extended family drama and it's accompanying fight

Some have been religiously brainwashed that their extended family can/will hurt them.

Some already know the type of extended family they come from (remember they probably grew up with those extended members), and they know the best thing is to avoid them, if they've got a better family they will have mix freely

Some feels they have nothing tangible to gain by mixing with extended family

Envy, Jealousy is very common among far relations. They do not want you to progress.
One's enemy is a member of his household.

One of the most cherished African culture that is slipping away from our hands...

Well, if you see your lineage as evil, wicked and what have you...Good luck to you..I will say, you should check yourself.


If you see your extended family as a support, as one big family... especially as closely knitted when you are growing up..don't spoil the tradition ..strive to keep the oneness ..It's a good thing

One thing I noticed is that cousins always very close, play together when they’re kids but they start giving themselves space as they’re growing older.

Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Micah 7:5‭-‬6 KJV

While it might not be the case in many families, if one finds himself where there are not so many progressives, the level of jealousy tends to be high. Even when the well-to-dos try their best to be good, the evil ones find means to cut them down. And since the mind of man is generally deep, nah to avoid all like plague.

To me, my parents, siblings, their kids and my son are the only family I have got...for anyone to break into this cycle, he/she needs to prove that he/she is worth it. Note: even a trustworthy friend is family to me.

I can't allow my openness and caring attitude expose me or my boy to danger...everybody sabi as him family dey structured physically and spiritually. Experience is the best teacher.
