Your head is not correct. Why don't you tell your parents not to pay your school fees and rather give you the 950k to ball.
If your parents had not invested what they had, where so you think your fees would have been coming from?
The small money that entered your hand, how did you manage it? BET9JA. And the result?
It's like you fell down from your mummy's back at infancy.
Tell me the basic necessity that they deny you.

Hello guys.... I don't just know.. Is it just me or is there anything I don't understand......my parents are rich people especially my dad, I know that for sure... someone paying #950,000 naira per year as school fees for me aside other expenses, plus multiple houses and lands I can't even keep count of....

How come they are this stingy? There is no time I would ask them for money for my own personal well being or any of my personal needs that they would like to assist me. I once ask mum for #12,000 naira just to buy a fairly used android phone (when I know they can even afford me an iPhone x) but she told me I should wait till months end before she gives me saying there is no money on ground... it's five months now and still nothing (not waiting for it though)...

Then I ask my dad, he told me I don't need an android phone... telling me that phone makes people unserious and other types of bulls*it( a 19 year old student for that matter)

Any expenses that is not book or academic related is not important...my parents would rather buy clothes for me than give me money to buy clothes... sometimes I end up not wearing some of them..

The funniest part is that, anytime I take any urgent lie(Asin scam) about any payment in school...they wouldn't Waits a second to send it to me... This has got me telling all sorts of lies just to get what I know can be gotten honestly.. It has even gotten to the point that any money that enters my hand now, I use it to play sports betting to see if I can get enough money for what I need, but I end up loosing the money...I am just frustrated.. someone time I wish I didn't even have rich parents cos what's the point...

You don’t realise that some parents try to live their dreams through the lives of their kids. They would spend on anything that aligns with their personal goal for their kids but will not give money for anything else.

A teenager in a university where the school fees are that high should not be forced to be personally broke else they will become something else.

You are as wise as a sage. My point, exactly. OP is learning the ropes of life. It is purely normal. The parents' point of view should, normally, explain how they are parenting their kids. I don't think that your parents are stingy. They are simply toughening up your development mechanisms, having good thoughts for you in preparing you for life ahead. I see that you have a bright future ahead of you. Just endure it, even if you don't quite understand that their love is stronger than to let them be stingy towards you. The coast of life, if we are fortunate to live long enough to realize it, naturally opens our eyes to the understanding of what our parents actually were doing for us, and on our behalf. We can only be thankful to them. Let's be thankful to God for them, especially while we are lucky to have them on this side of the grave. Best wishes, OP.

Your parents are trying to teach you that for you to succeed and be rich and manage your wealth ,but they made a mistake by not cross checking on your demands and occasional impromptu visits
Re: MY Experience With Very Stingy Parents.... Share Yours... by DLSReigns: 4:30pm On Jul 17, 2021
The term stingy doesn't include someone paying your tuition to the tune of 950k.They simply don't want to ruin that feat with a 12k android. I feel you might need to prove to them you appreciate their effort and won't Indulge in anything to ruin their hope for your bright future .

My parents where not stingy, they where just poor. however, my dad manage to pay my WAEC fee after the SSCE, I go do mistake further my school instead of learning hand work embarassed
Hell no that's not a mistake...
BTW what is your field of profession?

@OP if you want to get their mumu botton for complete access to their monies and wealth try focus on your studies and start a legitimate side hustle that will make you less dependent on your parents.

But they probably can see their son no dey serious. Imagine going into playing sports betting as a 19 year old student as a 'business idea'. What a disappointment
I hope he sees the bigger picture and retrace his way of life.

I pray you understand early enough their reason. From your write up, I would say appreciate them for all your parents are doing. Soon you will understand.
Re: MY Experience With Very Stingy Parents.... Share Yours... by texazzpete(m): 4:36pm On Jul 17, 2021
May God bless the OP's parents.

Imagine having a son who is so fixated on their wealth that he becomes a lazy degenerate. Instead of the OP to ask questions about how they made their money and start looking for ways to key in. or to excel so much in his studies that they are left wit no choice but to reward him.

Why would they give him money when they know he's the type to fritter it away on sports betting?

I fully support them.

Obviously from your write up, your parents are not stingy . They are just being careful especially with your age. A man who can spend 950k for your school without looking back shows that he knows his priority. He wants to give you the best education. Back then in school, a first class student did all he could to stop me from buying laptop and Android phone. He was my room mate and he saw them as distraction. Yeah, you could argue that need the device for research but for a final year first class student to tell me that i don't need those device, it means he knew what he was saying.
You are a very young lad, you will one day appreciate what your parents are doing for you.
At your age, what we saw as wickedness back then was merely for our advantage. Now we make our money ourselves, so we know how it feels to demand things from parents.

Even if you still think they are selfish, look at it this way; everything your parents got belongs to you . He ain't taking anything out of this planet.

No go hustle, dey here dey cry and feeling entitled.

I didn't drive in secondary school despite living in a house with 7 cars scattered all over. I eventually learnt to drive when I bought my first car 2017.

You should stop gambling. The way you collect money with school expense that's what I did too. Inflate your academic expenses and live on the surplus. If you need something big then create a big academic expense, DO NOT GAMBLE.

Also read your books, I was a very excellent undergrad. No go take all the money finish at the end of the day you'll be failing in school.

Don't do drugs too and don't compete with anyone, there are kids whose parents wrote them a blank cheque while coming to school, no go dey want form rich kid, eye go turn you.
@First bolded, You guys never say how to hustle, what side hustle do you want to start when you don't have any money?
@second bolded, I agree but humans are social animals we love to compare ourselves with others consciously or not, if his parents knew they are not rich enough why send him to a place surrounded by wealthy kids... that sounds like torture.

If both your parents are acting the same way towards you when you make a non-academic demands, yet they are willing to part away anything for essential needs. Isn't it already enough pointer that you need to review your lifestyle and choice of interest? Just a little cash gotten and you're already into gambling. What will then happen if more is available. Lastly, you're just been carried away with your wants. And your parents only show concern towards your needs which everyone in their shoes should do, especially knowing that you could be fully distracted. Recommendation, try to adjust your choices, pattern and ways you address issues to show high level of maturity. Only then might they be willing to fund your pleasure. Or simply hustle yourself and spend as you will.

NO ONE OWES YOU anything in this life.


Remove the word stingy from your vocabulary when talking about ANOTHER PERSON's money.
That is the language of covetousness. Your father is not obliged t leave his money to you in his will. The moment you internalize that your life will change
If you need money get a part time job

you are an ungrateful child and your parents know it. You have already started wasting your life on bet and making so many demands for money for bet in guise of needs. They know who you are trying to become. That's the reason they are investing so much in your education. But you are interested in frivolities. Some have parents who cannot afford even 30k for fees. Some have parents who have so much money but have blantantly refused to send their children to school. You have parents who spend 950k yearly on your education and you are here typing rubbish. You are not just silly but very ungrateful.
