Make we start to give them small na. No matter how little. This attitude of always expecting from them is what makes them block our numbers.

Anyway, I really can’t pick out one. I just know I have gotten lots of pleasant surprises from them- by not asking. smiley

How about what do give to relatives abroad when they come to Nigeria or Send through a friend of theirs ?most times,that little #2000 slippers or even a small Ankara of 2k goes a long way..
Personally,I feel we should try to extend stuffs to them too once in a while..not every time,gimme gimme cheesy..our thoughtfulness can open doors we least expect too..#just saying# lipsrsealed lipsrsealed
I will slap you with that slippers grin

Did he ask you to make a wish? You that is demanding, what do you give him when he's in Nigeria?
The way you wrote this, it seems you are angry with him and his freewill gift.

I was a kid then dumbo . And he was the one who asked us (i and my brothers) to write down what we wanted.

Leave them. Everytime they call their family abroad it's always one issue or the other that involves money. They always make the convo about them.
Never just to say hello.

You right but Nigerians have this mentality that they don't need anything

Do you know not all nigerian foods can be gotten in the west?

Not once do these scrounging relatives consider sending fresh produce from Africa

SyrusdeHansome:
Let me start my own this way, I know in this life nobody owes us anything but that doesn't mean our lives must always be about us and us alone. There's a blessing in giving.

I'm opportune to have an uncle who has stayed in US for more than 20 yrs now. He's a surgeon and one of the best in his field but the biggest gift I've received from him was 800 naira in 2007. Though he use to give me those big bargy trousers once in a while I still see the 8h as his biggest gift to me because trouser no be my problem.

Pls tell me your own.
