I have this story to share with Nlanders. It is about a family where they had five men and three women. Long long time ago they lost their eldest brother to death. This eldest brother had five children who were kids as at the time he died. As usual the kids were left under the care of the widow who had nothing to take care of her children since all their late father had have taken over by their so-called uncles.

After so many years the uncles and aunties got married had children and were only interested in the affairs of their immediate families not minding whether the children of their late brother are doing well or not.

To cut long story short, one of the Aunties did not marry but had almost everything money can buy, I mean she is rich cause she is hardworking – she works in a reputable organization, runs pure water business, etc. Unfortunately this aunty was diagnosed of breast cancer which she had been managing for more than 3 years. Since age was telling on her she decided to adopt a baby latest year, the baby is about nine months today. Sad to say this aunt kicked the bucket this month leaving this nine months old baby behind.

Several funny things have been happening after this incidence. First, the younger sister of this late aunty was suppose stay with her while she was seriously sick, but we were told that whenever she goes visiting her she will always pick up quarrel with her for one thing or the other to the extent that she took her daughter who have been staying with this aunty for about 12years. Funny enough we were told that when she heard of her sister’s death she took the next available bus to the north where her late sister was staying. We cannot deduce her reason for doing that either to resurrect her or something else. If you know please tell us.

In addition to the above, their elder brother who resides in the village, left the village for the north again. Instead of taking care of visitors or arranging for the burial in the village. Money get power !!!

Abeg Nlanders what advice, suggestion or correction would you give in order to help these people leave in peace. Will the properties (cars, landed properties, furnitures, pure water factory etc) be shared among all family members including the children/wife of the eldest brother who died long time ago? Should the properties be sold and the money saved for the nine months old baby? Should the adopted child be returned to the motherless babies home? Please you advice will be appreciated.
