yrhuhfy113: I blame you guys. For me it cost me a lot but I made sure by 5 younger ones were all fixed up well. All five abroad 3 UK 2 USA. It did cost a lot but I have had my peace of mind since then. Now I dey flex I then work online, I am having a blast now spending few weeks at a time in spanish Island. No one in my family have the gut to ask for shishi again. Extended family now has multiple people to call if I don't pick (which I stopped doing after I fixed up the last born) they call my younger ones. I thank baba God that they too are now pulling their one weight. It is dangerous to be the only rich one or the only one with money in your family. My advice to young men please set up your siblings as soon as you can and then ignore then. Then you will experience eternal peace and joy. However I have come across friends with money they would rather have their siblings worship them than set them up. But then it is their money I can't fault them though. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Buddha3: Well said. Struggled with this as well. Had to talk to some US friends about it who are in similar situations. One good friend told me he and his wife donate 10% of their income as a tithe. They said that the tithe didn't necessarily have to go to their church and they use part of that to sew into friends/family who need support. That made sense to me. So I do similar now and try not to go over it no matter the ask.. (the budget ended halfway this year and I did make an amendment a couple of weeks back for a close cousin who needed rent money). 2 Likes |

I remember when I was in the hospital for months. Na so I came back that week and this relative called saying that he wanted to discuss something urgent with me. This man came, even after seeing me in my condition, the goat went ahead to bill me for something. The Audacity ehn. I was admitted for months, you never called nor visited, and we were in the same city o. He saw me and was like, "ahh sorry o, I heard what happened o. Anyway, as I was saying...."

See childish reasoning, you should consider yourself privileged to be on the giving side and besides no one knows what tomorrow be turn out. Death comes uninvited and your children will need helping hands too. Me I dey give o but I fit curse you small but all nah cruise last last I will still give. New year Eve alone I did almost 2m transfer. Before Xmas I was doing transfers from morning till Dawn. I love my family both lagos and village and everyone must feel me. Mostly my uncle, the connection bw me and him even my dad gets jealous, maybe coz we smoke the same brand but me and him has too many secrets bw us so he knows how he makes my head swell. 2 Likes |

I'm far from "rich". Rich in quote because it's relative, but I'm the only financially stable person in the family. Although I don't get billed from siblings back home in Nigeria but I lend a helping hand when they need it. Even at that, I calculated the funds I've sent home to support siblings and family as whole and it's running into millions in the space of a year. Only person with some sort of entitlement mentality is my pops. Just before christmas, I sent everyone money to share. I know the money will go a long way and I wanted everyone to have a good christmas. Pops had to tell me that I should add a few thousands to his share of the money. Shameful that I had to remind him that I also have a family to run - two "mini-me" to cater for. This is a man that had no financial hand in me being abroad, the man that mismanaged a fund I set up for a business project back home because I put him in charge of the logistics. (The only thing I thought he could do for me) The man that don't really care about his children's growth, education etc. I don't hate or despise him. He's just there and it's sad that I had to put him in his place. I guess majority of Nigerians abroad can relate to this or at least a variation of it to some extent. Because majority of us came from a struggling background. I hope I would one day, be in the financial position to help one or two of my siblings out of the country, then I would consider my burdensome role fulfiled, as the eldest child. 6 Likes |

LagBlogger: That isn't true. How can you spend 100m supporting family and friends? When he was close to his last $5m, why did common sense not enter? He was either wasteful or had no financial education. I won't be surprised if the IRS was after him or HE made some bad financial investments. He might have bought a stupidly mighty house or lost half his wealth in a bloody divorce battle. 2 Likes |

IgiveLadiesBj: Not just 2M, he got paid 4M in January. Look at you. The debts he's stupidly put himself, his 2023 salary cannot repay all. Last year alone, he sponsored his ex-fiance abroad. He sponsored his younger brother and his wife abroad. He's building a house for his Mom and another in the village cos their dad is late. When I saw his msg for 20k, I thought someone stole his phone and wanted to use it to collect money, so I called him. He used his mouth to ask for 20k. 2 Likes 1 Share |
