So many entitled people here. It’s so disgusting. Who do you think you are to expect gifts? One got 50k gift for his wedding and he’s still saying God is the true giver. Were you expecting 2 million naira as a gift? Are you not ashamed of yourself for being so entitled?

Go and hustle. This thread is disgusting.

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.

My sister in Houston just sent me N550,000 for rent. I work in a tax office where the salary is 70k monthly. She has really tried for me, I also got an iphone 7. She sents 70k monthly to augment my salary so at least money won't be a problem.

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

Before I traveled around 2009 the only thing I got from over 10 of my uncles and relatives was 8,000 naira. Even one gave me as low as 200 naira.... until I got there and found out there is no money abroad. They only have money to pay their bills and money saved for vacation. I believe we should be sending our people in America money. They are really suffering

So because he is abroad, he must give you something?

To those who have this mentality, try and grind crayfish, melon, ogbono, opkoroko, dried bitterleaf and red oil, and send them and whatever you can to that your cousin or uncle abroad. Trust me, when things are okay with him, he'd never forget you and he'd do something big for you. I remember when I lived abroad for five years, one of my childhood friends made it a point to always visit my mum and attend any of my family's occasion. Another one would call just to check up on me without asking me for favours. So don't let it be about what others can do for you, also think and do for them. They need it too.
