What a Shame!! 29 and the guy does feel the need to be responsible.
Anyway lemme speak for my self.. i was jobless during the covid period and almost went pre-depression since my parents were the ones providing.

To me at that age still acting like this, i wouldn't advice him to marry any time soon. This guy is not ready for life.

The answer is simple. He thinks his money is for him alone and your money is our money. This is because, he still sees himself as your responsibility. On top of that, its clear from ur analysis that he has never cultivated the habit of helping others when they need it. So, you need to make it explicitly clear to him, that your role in his life financially at this stage of his life is by choice and ur habit to be helpful and responsible to ur family. If he wants to be a better man in the future, he must pick up the attitude of been responsible to his family, which at this moment in time, is yourself and his siblings. Don't feel too bad about you still feeding him anyways, not his fault. This terrible evil was birthed by our evil politicians. All the best in ur pursuit of happiness for u and ur son.

Sir, please be patient with your son. This Nigeria is not very friendly, no child would want to be dependent. A few questions:

1. Does he smoke or drink?
2. Does he live above his means?
3. Does he come around with girlfriends?

If there is a yes amongst these questions, kindly kick him out ASAP. Else, I suggest you
encourage him to get a better employment.
He is free from all these things you mentioned.

You are a confirmed certificated slowpoke

You are an international fool. Sale is a noun, sell is a verb. You can make a sale, not that you "sale" something. Igbos make the mistake and I pointed it out. Mumu man went to bring dictionary on top wetin he no understand.

He has more than enough in his account to settle down. Peradventure, he has other programs.
he was able to raise 'more than enough' because of the gap you fill for him, definitely he has 'other programs' but how viable these programs are remains the main issue, but you can try to find out what he is up to and if possible see if there are ways to get things underway, breakthrough after graduating is not really that easy especially in the absence of a high paying job, i can't say for sure if he's totally doing well but for the fact that he can save up something tangible means there's a possibility of breaking through if other aspects are tackled well. What matters most is his success not just the independency, rub minds with him and know what he's doing, who knows

Sharap.

My experience in my own household is that all 5 of us left home, the very day we graduated.

In fact, in my case, I had already left home from when I had my IT.

When I completed NYSC, I came back to live with a a friend who accommodated 7 of us.

We all ended up leaving from his home to get our respective jobs, and those who went abroad, launched out from there.

Not a single person from my nuclear family went into fraud.

None or the boys with whom we all shared a home went into fraud and we all ended up well and independent, spread across Nigeria and indeed the world.


You too shut up.
Your use of language shows you can't state you opinion without insulting people..

In your "own" house, you said.

Not every body's home is like yours where they leave home to go squat 7 people inside a friend's house.


And did I say you turned to fraud? As if you don't know some people, when life happens to them, they pick up vices.

Next time reply people with decorum online and don't be an educated tout

What is wrong in you continue feeding him pending the time he get himself something doing. After all he did not write an application to you that he wanted to come to this world nor you taken permission from him for bringing him here? Your mission accomplished after you must have given him a befitting marriage.

So long as you made the selfish decision to have children, you are completely responsible for them till you die. undecided undecided As if they are sharing high paying jobs in Nigeria.


You dey mind people. Them go dey tackle bachelors that they should go and marry. They would bring children into this failed Nigeria without a plan for the children and thinking that paying subsidised not presently top quality Nigerian university school fees is all they need to do for the child and leave the child to his fate.
The boy is probably depressed and unhappy and likely even regrets been born into Nigeria. Meanwhile top people round the world set their children up even Bill Gates, Trump, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos were set up by their parents.

This is not the NIGERIA of the seventies or early eighties where someone can read any course in Nigeria and graduate to a high paying job.

Even most professionals don't earn well.
