Just becos he lives abroad doesnt mean his in heaven, things could be rough out there, try to be independent of him. He might beg you for gari.

Ganjafama:
Over sabi! The op is right and you are so wrong. Step brother is when he is not your blood brother but the son of your father's wife through another man.

I be wan ask oh but I say make I screw down.

What country is he at?,do u know if he's living comfortably or not,to be honest I hate this send me money mentality too,is he owing you any money?if he wants to send u money,am sure he'll do it from his own heart.

this got me laughing hard at work.... Sister beauty even pay upfront.....

Pluto16:
My brother blocked me on WhatsApp just because i asked him to send me money jockingly (because i know he would never send it) .I've never disturb him with anything before or have any quarrel with him.
He is living abroad and he has never send me money or anything before.He always ignored my messages on bbm, whatsapp and facebook. So I asked him money jokingly today, then He replied with just 'lol' then blocked me afterward. Like i have nothing to offer like i can't add any value to his life. Though he is an half-brother, same father different mother. After he blocked me i feel very sad, like i am nobody.
I can't keep it to myself anymore so i decided to share it on Nairaland.

Take heart.

You are somebody. Work hard. One day, he will need your help..

My brother I've been in ur shoes before. What i'll advice is to keep your cool and move on. If u like block him too. My dad had two wives and am the first seed of the second wive. We are five of us. The first wives kids 7 of them are all abroad in the US. They wld not want to help us nor my dad for anything. They wld not even take our calls for help for like 25 years plus. But guess what God did. Three of us born of my mom are in the US now and we are doing far more better than they are. They keep caling me for help etc. I dont feel the bond with them but i just play along. My brother let nothing ever bring ur morals down. Strive and work harder. U will get where u need to be in due time! My gosh, u got tears in my eyes coz i used to feel the way u feel right now! Stay blessed!

forget even ur blood brother can snitch

One of my big half Sist did it to me, then I remembered two things,

1. Igbo ppl said when a slim person comes into yam harvest it looks as if he came to beg for onw

2. Success is the best revenge.

She was in Lag I am PH, guess what? The day we met we in PH I gave no Bleep, she became the one asking me to call her wimma line, I forgot to that till date, but I will when my success is full blown.

ouch. It's normal if you feel hurt but ignore him.

Hey Bro. Do not let anyone make you feel less of yourself. You have a great future, a beautiful one at that. You are embedded with greatness. Source it out from within. Develop a healthy self esteem. Work smart and hard. You are destined to shine.
Also, forgive him. Don't allow unforgiveness hold you down. Still send your regards on other platforms. Continue to show love. He only acted according to the knowledge he has. It is well with you. Cheers

So you came to report your brother to Nairaland,

what's this world becoming?

What was the attitude of you and your mother towards him and/or his mother when he was a nobody? Tell us that one first because I am sure if he tells us his own story, we may feel sorry for him. His response of 'lol' sounds like what I will say when my enemy that was mocking me and praying for my downfall suddenly turns around to ask me for help.

Exactly my thought.

IT'S VERY FUNNY THE WAY SOME NLANDERS JUDGE THINGS..
I NEVER ASKED ANYTHING FROM HIM BEFORE AND HE HAS NEVER SEND ME ANYTHING BEFORE...INFACT HE HAS NEVER SEND ANYTHING TO OUR DADDY.
WHEN HE WAS AT HOME I'M VERY USEFUL TO HIM, MY MOM HAS DONE SOME GOOD THINGS FOR HIM COUNTLESS TIMES..I'M LIVING FINE AND IT'S NOT THAT I DEPEND ON HIM TO LIVE..ATLEAST MY YOUNGER ONES DO ASK MONEY FROM ME AND I WILL GIVE THEM...

ANYWAY I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS!!!

Maybe he's broke.

Are u sure u are telling us the truth here. Are u sure u are not living a reckless life(sorry, no mean insult) most family members can rob you off your feet esp if u are the breadwinner. He can't just block you like that, just simply tell us the truth.

This is the trouble with polygamous families.

be fair to your brother,why didnt you tell us what kind of sister u have been to him?.

have u been relating to him on 'give me money money money' basis and if he is to give you money,is it not better to call him and ask voice to voice than sending him text,i remember how annoying it was for me ,years ago ,while abroad for my bro to be asking me money by sms and never called and i remember blocking my own sister on whassap cus of incessant messages i just dont like .i therefore judge your brother not guilty.call him and tell him you are not happy and hear him outi suspect u are a very annoying sister.

coolesmile:
Call his number. Don't just contact people when you are in need.
If you have been in close contact with him, he would not have shunned you.
Always try to call even if you don't need anything. Just ask about his welfare. He will definitely be drawn towards you. It's just natural.

but he has been ignoring her?

Pluto16:

We used to discuss a lot of things before he started avoiding my messages... Even before i would not sleep to call him in the night because of the time-zone different. I was only showing love then. But he thinks i have nothing to offer

abeg make the guy hold iem lane joor

last35:
What do you expect from "same father, different mothers"... Certainly he dislikes you which is not strange in a polygamous family

though you are almost right.... but don't let us generalise it. I know of a family (my bestie family) his dad an Alhaji married about 7 wives and you won't even know from the kids that they are half brothers and sisters, though the fight which is quite normal but the love and understanding they share is top notch

People like you with too clever by half attitude are always bad losers - no sportsmanship attribute at all. You goaded him and as an unassuming person he's, he did the needful thing to avoid bigger and unnecessary altercation in the future but here you're crying victim. . . . The usual last resort of a defeated manipulator in his own initiated battle of wits. Lol.
