To refill full may cost 7-8k but even half will be ok. Thank you.

Romanoff:


I'm not in conflict with my siblings.

I've just seen a lot of times that blood is not thicker than water.

I've seen siblings kill each other over inheritance.

I've seen a rich sibling abandon his family because the became rich.

I've seen a son and daughter call their mother a witch.

I've seen a mother and father hate thier children.

So is blood thicker than water in these instances?

You see human being can be unpredictable sometimes. I've had a roommate whom will stack hundreds or thousands of naira on bet9ja sport ticket and come home saying he doesn't have money to buy little things like paper or fish to prepare food infact this guy has a childish habit of licking soup inside pot. Iiving with people like that would make one start acting funny though some people could be unnecessarily stingy to their siblings which is very bad oo. Let's just pray make God bless us all sha so we won't be at someone's mercy you know.

@Didi2d one really needs to be smart and loyal when living with someone as roommate especially when the person is financially buoyant than you do... You have to be loyal and transparent so you don't give bad impression and get blacklist real quick then you have to be really moderate in everything.
I have lived with silly people except for one bros like that. My last roommate once told me we aren't eating "enough". Say as guy man we must be using at least half paint of garri to make eba just 2 of us oo.. I shock bros!
Me weh be say Lagos don shrink my belle
2 wraps of restaurant eba don do me like dis but him no get money still want dey chop like glutton. nobi juju be dat.

Kriss216:

I know.

WHITELIGHTER:


Yes, blood is thicker than water...haven't u seen the opposite of all you listed above? Like he said, go reconcile with your siblings

Ahmed0336:



Double your hustle and keep to his terms of agreement.

Mariangeles:
Your brother doesn't want to be overburdened and one can't blame him.
He's doing so much for you already as it is (by housing and feeding you), so don't be ungrateful with the sense of entitlement.
Remember, he's your brother and not your father.
So, you should be responsible for him as much as he is for you.

It's not even like he owns his own business yet, he's just an onye oso ahia, but he still does what he can to meet up.
You too you need to step up and support him. Borrow if you have to and fill the cylinder, even if it's half way. (You know you can if you want to)
Don't just relax and say "I don't have", find a way.
Elder brothers are humans and they need support too. We need to cut them some slack.

If you were squatting with someone that wasn't your brother, wouldn't you find a way to meet up with your own contributions?

You're the one that's not being fair with your brother to be sincere with you.

Kriss216:

Exactly

I filled 3kg earlier this year. Was arranging one stubborn soup like that, gas finished midway and my favourite female neighbor travelled. Man was low on funds, had to call the gasman to help top 3kg.

Still on the 3kg now

Hello,How can you be reached?Quite sorry you went hungry.Can I know how to get to you?

Arrogantbro:
Send account details

Born2conquer:

It's hard to judge, the brother might have been handling 90% of the whole bills in the house, man suspected the OP is trynna dump the gas bill and the rest on him.

This is not poverty, this is irresponsibility! Someone is paying your house rent, foodstuffs and the rest and you can't make filling of gas a priority ?

Thanks. Any amount I get from here will be accounted for.

And Op, don't let people feel you created the thread to generat money, let people know others already sent you money for the gas.. they can decide to send you money for something else

Good day all, please judge this matter and see if what my brother is doing to me is fine or not. I also need your advice.

I live with my senior brother. We are all managing life because we are struggling. He sell for person in the market while I am an apprentice. Last year November, I started learning fashion design and I am barely 3 months. So we agreed I will be the one refilling cooking gas always and buy other little things like salt, pepper, soap and so on while he'll buy most of food items.

Since I cannot sew well yet, money does not flow my way so common but there is how my boss will send me to go deliver work to someone and the person will dash me N1000 or N2000 sometimes for my effort. Another way I make money is by amendment of clothes when i have. That is how I make little little money for survival. I have been refilling the gas as far as money is in my hand but this January, things are very tough that I hardly see N100 especially the last two weeks.

Because I don't have money to refill gas, my brother is now eating from outside or sometimes borrow a neighbour gas to cook noodles and he will eat alone without minding if I have eat or not like what happened yesterday which i was very hungry, saying when I have money to refill gas, we will start cooking in the house again and I will eat. I have try to tell him I don't have money these days but he is saying I'm hiding my money and be looking at his face. This is coming from a blood brother who is my senior.

Note: I am 23, SSCE holder. I decided to learn the trade after my attempts to go to university failed financially and otherwise.

Please is this alright because am beginning to keep malice with him.

This blood is thicker than water quote, u people use it upside down.
It actually means that one shares a stronger bond with friends than family

Ahmed0336:
Few things may be the cause of his reaction.

1. You have a history of not saying the truth hence his mistrust to you.
2. He is just being an aszhole.

My take; sh*t happens, double your hustle and keep to his terms of agreement.

When the older one is always expected to take care of the younger ones, who takes care of the older one?

You will be shocked by op's brother's side of the story.

Someone should just dash him 3k to refill the gas nah

We have normalised older ones taking up responsibilities that should never have been theirs in the first place.
