My dear that's normal, u need not to run away from ur people back home,. U are their pride. Just try to let them know that over here (cos I live outside d shores of 9ja too, in Biafra in particular) it's not really easy as they assume. Make sure Ur immediate family members and friends have a feel of u, u are a blessing. Don't complain, rather thank God that people look up to u instead of d other way round. The truth is u can't satisfy everyone but try ur best. By so doing, I see enabling grace to meet ur financial goals. Cheers!! 6 Likes 1 Share |

astrodome: Bobo, wat i did was to include a "miscellaneous giving" line in my budget every month. The first set of people to ask for help get to enjoy from dat budget line. Once d budgeted miscellaneous giving line is exhausted, there is nothin i can do for anyone dat month again no matter d story. This should b diff from d ones u send to ur parents and siblings on a monthly basis. I believe u already hv a budget for dat. The truth is dat u cannot stop giving, its part of wat makes us human. but we can be wise about it. Regards. 10 Likes 1 Share |

What u will do is to cut off connection for sometime,and have a special Sim card for calling those at Nigeria. For ur parent, u can send them money monthly depending on your capacity,but for your relations keep ur money maybe any time u are coming back to Nigeria, you can get them a present. #myopinion. 1 Like |

The story is just a cock and bull story. You live in America and so what. If you don't want to help people why come here and disturb people with your problem. All I see is someone that wants to score cheap marks. We know you know what to do if truly people are disturbing you. Your story lacks ingredient, I doubt if u don reach Togo sef |

you should count your self lucky that you ve a job. To be honest with you many nigerians are unemployed and you know what that means? try as much as you can if you ve. Only God will replenish ur wealth. If i know you i would ve asked you for financial help too cos am broke and jobless. 1 Like |

astrodome: you're full of it. you cant possibly be "well-heeled" and gripe about a meager 25% mortgage inroad when the universal income-to-mortgage target ratio is 28%. lots of cities in california have a mortgage to income ratio of nearly 70%,new york/new jersey/florida is about 40%. thus, you live in one of the most affordable cities! You prolly reside in Pittsburgh or sacramento. Or maybe even in omaha. And for a quote unquote Phd working in R and D, having 2 cars, 25% is basically free housing! stop whining and cut that check, yer freeloading hobo. 7 Likes 1 Share |

A senior colleague once shared with me how his cousin was always on his neck for children school fees and other numerous demands and he was always assisting. Suddenly the cousin called after assisting him barely 2weeks ago that he would be moving to his house soon and that he was invited him for the house warming in abuja. All these while the guy had been investing his own money on his building while using my colleague to takecare of his immediate family. Funny enough this my colleague had not started common house foundation not to talk of erecting a building . wisdom is profitable to direct. 11 Likes |

astrodome: No matter how much you give, even if it's a million dollars each, it will never be enough and you know why? Because Those abroad Pick Money from Trees. So it's you alone that can finally put a stop this, and for now it still seems you are enjoying it because when you finally start to feel the Heat, you will decide how much you want to be giving every month and not a cent more... Truth of the Matter is this, Heaven forbids your enemy is no more, they will mourn your enemy for a year or so and move on! More than 70% of Nigerians dont have anybody giving them Free money from abroad Monthly and they are surviving so why wont you own family survive if you don't give them anymore? Like I said you are still enjoying it but when the Heat gets really Hot, you will learn how to put a Final stop to it and decide how much you can truly afford to give each month without it affecting you and your family very bad. 1 Like |

Sorry about it Bro, am having same problem with you but only that am residing in Nigeria. I knw how you are feeling regarding the aforementioned issue but dont let devil divert your pity/kindness toward your people, bear with their consistent demands please. I recently read some in holy Qur'an where almighty God promise to help those that are help his creatures, and i also read in Hadith that givers will never lack! WHO KNOWS THAT GOD IS ONLY SUSTAINING YOUR CURRENT FINANCIAL POSITION JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE HELPING THOSE HELPLESS PEOPLE. May God help us all! 3 Likes |

I don't think u need all this . Since you have couple of friend and relative that u owe a lot those that gives u a flimsy excuse for money u can keep posting them or ignore them on Facebook or on other social media , there is always reward in giving God will always open big door for u , just do the little u can do . I really understand how u feel about all , the most important thing am telling u pls pay ur tithe , you will see more door will open for u so that u too can also help other. |

The OP must be very stingy,God blessed you because of people around you Do your best and leave the rest stop complaining I always love to help people and always sad when am broke you have no reason to hoard so much cash I will advise you not to keep much money in the bank because you wont give what you dont have always spend your money immediately Start a very large project that wont allow you to keep cash by doing that they will only collect what you have left 1 Like |
