Bros you want to get married with him in your house?just tell me you are joking because that boy and your wife are 2 wrong combinations that will make your life a living hell,you haven't seen anything yet. I had to live through this as my husband has the same issues but I live with 2 that we have totally wasted resources on and 4 others that practically thinks my husband grows money on trees, one of them we practically paid for his wedding and accommodation and he still needs money for his business, the one with me has a shop he sells men's wear but he has refused to get his own apartment and see the entitlement mentality they have,at the moment my husband can't pay for d kids fees and and am so angry.Not to mention the constant squabbles in the house where they can't stand me getting something good for my self they feel it is their brothers money,pls dump that guy some where before you marry o. 1 Like |

I remember when I told my brother that he should not depend on me. He was furious and reported me to my mum. My mum became angry and said that it was wrong of me to say that. Well,I don't pretend to do what I know I can't do. For sometimes,he refused to see me as a brother, yeah..it is understandable. For two years,He learned a beautiful skill, here I am linking him up to potential customers. That is what I can do,i'm glad doing it. He can now see I love him, that I want him to grow also. Now he calls to greet me and respect me as a brother. You don't need family meeting,everyone can see you have tried for him. Whoever is against your decision should take the burden of your brother upon himself or herself to help him. Talk to your brother to take his life is in his hands. You live to please God not man. Man cant be pleased. And if man can't be pleased,please yourself. 1 Like |

robedu: Your brother is an ingrate. I have my 2 sisters asking me to leave Nigeria and join them (one in Dubai another ins Switzerland) but I refused. I hate being a burden to anyone. I told them not to worry and that I will find my way. The ONLY way to cure this madness is LEAVE him alone. He won't change, no matter what you do. |

Pardon me to say it as it's in my mind. Your Bro is mean,yes. He is the reason most husbands don't let inlaws close and if you don't cage him this guy will give you problems after marriage. How do I feel he knows something about your finances?Whatever growup! Sell that damm car and open something for yourself if you can't bear saying no to him.Something to give you cab money or register it under uber and let uber asign u a driver. He is not under an attack, you are. He is an uber driver with credit of 700000 means he is reliable and wouldn't find it difficult finding a driver job with uber. Why do I feel even if this thread gets to page 80 you will never take any tough decision that for once satisfies you and you alone,that is the reason he has and will always use you. Please don't make this your future husbands burden,it will be unfair. You don't need any elder to decide.I met a 30yr old graduate whose sister has given till Dec to find a job or relocate home after feeding him for 2yrs and he hasn't earned 100naira,this is his younger sister with 2kids paying fees in Abuja and the worst is she is housewife and yet to graduate and the husband is bearing all these alone. I must warn don't tempt a man later with how much he can bear from ur siblings. I wish you luck whatever you decide including babysitting a 29yr old who has vowed to ruin you.Check your blood pressure regularly too |

My candid opinion pls do.not live your life.for others, you have tried so much therefore God am.sure is happy with you however if it is possible for you depending on your pocket buy this guy another car and let him park out of your house, let him go and continue his taxi business what ever he sees let him face squarely always remember that you will eventually build your own home, your husband to be will need your support for you both to raise your own children. On a lighter note I wish I was still single I would have loved to.marry you, I love babes that has vision.and and ambitious, good luck |

My dear sister, I advice you go get a smaller apartment for him use the car as a business lift for him since, I understand you got a good job and free yourself from him as he needs to be a little independent to catch up with the trend of life. You have done what most parents cannot do to even their off springs, you sacrificed your comfort to take them to where they are now so, what more do they expect you to do than live an exemplary life to make you proud. Most importantly, I must tell you that if you die (God forbid), this same brother of yours will definitely sit up and move on with his life so, do not kill yourself just because you have an elder brother you have helped to see light and prefers to be in darkness. Finally dear sister, It could be a spiritual issue, try as much as you can to take the matter spiritually and see what happens. Wish you well in all your endeavors. Do have a pleasant week ahead. |

Sister, that guy might murder you if you cease to be his cash machine, you made the mistake of making him see and treat you as such. But it's not late yet. Recession is here, find a way to convince him that your income has halfed. Probably don't fix your car in a hurry, let it stay at the mechanic for a while. Reduce how much food you make available at home, provide only dinner if you have to. Never again give cash to him no matter how much he begs, tell him your income has halfed. Stop being nice, appear frustrated whenever you are with him, gradually make him taste some bad hardship. If he is reasonable, he may leave you, but I doubt he is. This is when you need to date some strong hardworking fellow like you who will love you enough to protect you from him. |

robedu: Wait, so there are still people like you? You have an ungrateful man living with you called BROTHER. A careless, arrogant and narcissistic BROTHER who cares about himself ONLY. The same one who cannot even help his sister out with 5k even though he had the money? ....and you are sitting down there contemplating on whether to give him the car he crashed or not? after he claimed ownership on top the car he did not pay for and almost cost someone his/her life because he was driving under the influence of alcohol? You are seriously asking US what to do? Both you and the laptop/tablet/mobile phone you used to type the "What do you think I should do" question ARE NOT SERIOUS. 2 Likes 1 Share |

@ OP I wanted to insult you till I thoroughly read your post and observed that you are a lady. God bless your heart, women are true gems of the world. I will be honest, your brother does not deserve your effort. You need to be a man and not a woman. He is capitalising on your emotional self. Do you know how much Uber drivers make? That is why he got drunk because he is making money now. Take your car away from him, in short, give it to another Uber driver and make money from it so that you can buy another car. Distance yourself from your brother or you will regret it in the future. |

Sell ur car. Keep the money. Anything he says, don't bother. Bluntly tell him to find his way. Very simple. Tell him u don't have money to repair the car. Sell it it out and start afresh. :-XSell ur car. Keep the money. Anything he says, don't bother. Bluntly tell him to find his way. Very simple. Tell him u don't have money to repair the car.

The first step to freedom is getting him leave your house. If he continues to live with you in his current mindset he will amount to very little in the foreseeable future. Because you provide for him laziness has set in. Men no get shame at all. The fact that a woman(my YOUNGER sister even a bigger reversal of destiny's plans) paid my way through school will spur me slap nature back with great success through hard work even right from NYSC. My dear I thank God for what you were able to do for your family and God richly bless you for that. Stop providing for that your brother. You are the one sponsoring laziness in his life. 1 Like 1 Share |

There's nothing that drains a person emotionally, mentally, physically than having siblings that you have to cater for without them trying to help themselves, seeing ur help as a right. Op what can I tell u really, I belive u ll get all u need frm others that have given valuable advice-----i ll pray for you n I pray God sees u thru all this. But please, take things easy, find a way n lessen d stress. I really understand ur pain n thnks to all that gave an advice---it has helped me too. Op God ll nt forsake u, jux hold on to him. |

I'm sorry to say but your brother is a failure...no one in life helps such a broke...irresponsible...rude and ungrateful brother in life... truth be told...he is a waste to you and isn't worthy to be called your brother... after all you have done for him by seeing him through school and sacrificing you time and hard earned money basically to please him he had to pay you back wrongly... he has failed you...if I were to be you I wouldn't sacrifice my happiness to anyone that wouldn't reciprocate your goodwill towards you... he has failed God and man he needs to retrace his steps before the lord else he may be stagnated for a long time...he also needs to watch the company he keeps if I may you are a good lady with a diamond heart...God knows your heart desire and he'll sure perfect that which concerns you...cos a lot of sisters in our today wouldn't do to his siblings what you have done to yours bless you |

keltho:This is someone that can come home tomorrow and say he sold the car and there is nothing anybody can do about it. She has done a lot and enough for the guy. If at 29 he still behaves this way then not much can be done. It's not about the money or the car or whatever but his character. He needs to learn good character and be responsible. The only way I see how to is by taking away his comfort. Whatever tomorrow brings forth for the guy is for his own good. The sister is blessed already so let that tomorrow bring forth what it wants to bring forth. 1 Like 1 Share |
