Hendrixky: Ensure you make your relatives millionaires first? LMAO! No offence, how old are you please? Because from where I sit, you don't particularly sound like someone who has seen a decent measure of the Nigerian reality. There are relatives who are bluntly uninterested in turning a hundred thousand into a million naira. They don't have the patience to turn over investments for small but steady profits. They are basically comfortable with the fact that you have a moderate inflow of income and can accommodate their needs and demands whenever they walk up to you. So whatever efforts you put into setting them up amounts to no good. I have two cousins I have particularly made a handful of efforts to help achieve financial stability. Today they want a hundred grand to put in a business idea they have, it's down the drain tomorrow. Next they want a keke for hire purchase purposes, funds are committed into buying it, 2 months later, keke is sold and they're back to calling your line. Look, we were all created with opportunities, however unequal they may be. The fact you're in a place to lend a helping hand doesn't mean you should die in the process. Sometimes it's okay to shut in, close fences and tend to your own life. Everybody go dey alright finally. 32 Likes 2 Shares |

IgiveLadiesBj: I would have doubted it too until I watched a YouTube video of an NBA player who made more than 100 million USD in his career but retired bankrupt. What did he do with most of his money? Spent it supporting family and friends. 19 Likes 3 Shares |

Irupetepete: What I advice anyone who has gone abroad and the means should carry any of his siblings. I've seen a family where the elder brother carried his younger ones and today, the family na blast. Even the last boy na big boy for Naija doing his little business. There are some who refused to carry their immediate siblings and carry other step siblings. Today, he is complaining of too much dependence on him from his immediate siblings while the step siblings do not remember the one who helped th younger ones. Make anybody no complain especially if they are your siblings. Do something this 2023 to remove load from your head. 10 Likes |

All of us are rich in my immediate family so no one is disturbing each other. However, extended family members kept disturbing from one demand to another until we made it clear last two years that they must go through my mom to get us do anything for them. Guess what, my mom that was just 52 died last year August. I personally know, someone was behind her demise, but Ogun go kill any of them that will call me for any form of help again 14 Likes |

Rich and struggling relatives should simply maintain mutual respect and understanding. The later should be industrious, contented with what he has, while striving to be better financially without depending on the percieved richer folk who most often has many people pestering him...the former in my view should be understanding too. He should be helpful if he sees a perceived need of a struggling brother he can readily meet, not necessarily when beckoned. Money has no permanent residence; it can be domiciled in another's tomorrow. Hendrixky: 1 Like |

Hendrixky: There's nothing deep or critical about your comment. A family where there's unity & love, it's common sense for siblings to help each other out. Alas! So many dysfunctional families in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

I am not the rich relative, but I pity my immediate elder brother. He is going through hell for family issue especially from my auntie who never get satisfied. She can cry for help two times a week. Her daughter got into 100k trouble, my brother paid 70k. Her house rent, my brother paid, her daughter in University of Abuja school fee, my brother paid. Our first son children rely on my elder brother for their school fees. His own children, cousins and aunties. I pity him so much that I don't even ask for anything, but as the last born of the house the guy still blesses me. Like this Christmas, he bought new Dell laptop and iPhone 13 pro Max for me as Christmas gifts. He bought Christmas clothes for all of us, he still settled me with cash. It's not easy when you are doing well and decided to help in your family. 20 Likes 1 Share |

faithfull18:hmm you’re right bro but it still doesn’t negate the fact that Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world . Having landed properties doesn’t stop you from having millions in cash. What if you find yourself in an emergency situation? Do you think it’s easier to liquidate those assets? Having less down 500k in cash is nothing but poverty in the real sense of it ( don’t get me wrong o, I’m just saying ). 6 Likes 2 Shares |
