Nigga drop account number na...

Gajagojo:


You are preaching
Talk is very cheap
Reality is very different for most Nigerians in the trenches
I hate hypocrisy
Pretending as if it is not this Nigeria we all know

Why did he allow him leave the village you ask? Where did you read that the brother invited him?

He is sharing his house with him
That is not callous

He should be grateful for that
What if he does not accommodate him?
Is that unheard of?

RomanGreen:


This is wrong as much as you trying to wake him to reality of not feeling entitled, I get it but definitely not to the point of starving him.

I lost my Father early I'm life and my elder brother who is the first child played a key role in the success of all my siblings simply because he looked out for me until I found my fit and supported him too to stabilize and I'm also currently sponsoring my two younger ones in higher institution, my immediate younger brother too has graduated courtesy of me and my elder brother's support. My point is, a little kindness trickles down and have ripple effects especially within the confines of a nuclear family. I can boldly tell you that love l, care and compassion exists amongst us and we look out for one another simply because my elder brother choose to be responsible and this today has impacted positively on all of us. As much as we all hate entitlement mentality, there should be a limit to this sort of wickedness coz that's what I call it. If tomorrow this young guy survives the odds and become rich and God forbid his elder brother has issues and this young guy refuses to help, will you maintain the same energy of "oh he didn't bring him into the world" let's show a little compassion, people are going through hell abeg

EruditeSupport:


It's simple.

If you know you can't feed him, tel him before he left the village. Don't starve him. It's wrong. Let him know that he has to prepare for his own feeding. That's my point. Abandoning him to his fate without prior notice is wickedness. That's my point.

Gajagojo:

How do you know the circumstances of his departure from village?
Did OP tell us whether he just got on a bus and arrived one day with his bag


You are making an irrational argument based on assumptions

MS247:


This kind of entitlement mentality is very very wrong

Nazgul:
Your problem with your brother is over familiarity and entitlement mentality. Like someone rightfully pointed out, he doesn't owe you anything, cos he didn't bring you into this world.

If you want your current predicament with him to come to an end, do the following...

1. See him as your oga and see yourself as an apprentice in his shop, stop seeing him as your equal.

2. Call him sir whenever he calls you. And run errands for him without grumbling.

3. Wash his clothes, polish his shoes, clean the house and sweep the shop whenever you get there. Make cleanliness your best friend. A lazy person cannot succeeded as an apprentice.

4. Respectfully beg him for lunch, eg. Good afternoon sir, please I'm hungry. Don't ever call him by his name.

All the comments, I have not gone through them yet.

Let's get some facts clear

1: Your brother owes you nothing , you owe your brother cost of rent and accomodation

2: Your Parents owe you education, shelter and welfare until you are 18, or 21 when you are legally adult

3: If you want your brother to feed you after providing you accomodations, you humbly go to him and plead...

My dear brother, kindly assist me with feeding pending the time I get something doing fetching money and I can contribute to our welfare,

4: whenever you get any Money, try and refill your brothers cooking gas, buy some spaghetti or noddles, or Golden penny Semo, Vegetables Oil and present it to your brother

EruditeSupport:


Can't you see you're assuming too? Did he actually tell you he landed in his brothers house suddenly? I think you're saying this as a lame excuse to win an argument rather than being theoretically correct.

It is rational to judge on the basis of 'all things being equal' except the narrator states otherwise.

AllBlack:


from the onset did your brother invite you to come and stay with him?

when you told him you were coming to join him, did he agree?

be honest.

JohnnyBling:
Guy anything other than confronting him not violently ooo but having a conversation with him, tell him how you feel and if there's a way tell your parents or family elders to talk some sense into him

Gajagojo:

Is the problem a lack of sense or lack of money?

JohnnyBling:

Did you read the post?

Your elder brother is wicked.

TheBillyonaire:
Your worries are a distraction to your phone repairs venture. Simply focus your energy in mastering your phone repairs and be creative on how to raise money from your phone repair. You can also find some part time job or service you can render for a fee.

Also talk to your brother to give you a loan to help you feed, and promise to pay him as soon as you make money.

Do not complain just walk to him and greet him with a smile, and plead respectfully with him like an adult for some cash to borrow, when he asks what you want to use it for, tell him in order to buy food and cook in the house but that you will refund as soon as you are able to make money.

Openfortruth:
I greet you all Nairalanders.

Please permit me to share this thing my brother is doing to me.

As my life was about to become useless in the village, I came to the city to stay with my older brother and learn phone repairs.

My plan is to have this handwork so that when i gain admission, i wont rely totally only on education which has failed many in the country.

But my blood brother I'm staying with is behaving unkind to me as though i am a total stranger to him. Even total strangers deserve better treatment.

I'm only an apprenctice and yet to start making money. Most of the days, i trek to the place and return because I dont have transport.

He leave house first before me and return before me too. Before I would come back, he would cook noodles and finish it, washed the pot and everything and keep them clean as though nothing happened. Sometimes he eat outside and come back home and ignore me.

Except there's another way for me, that is how I would go hungry throughout the night and as early as possible in the morning, he would leave the house without reasoning anything food.

I'm seriously starving. I thought he would share the little he has with me till I also start making money. Is this how a senior brother should behave with the junior one?

He's being unkind to me and now I feel like hiding the Garri I brought from the village from him.

But is this how we should behave as blood brothers?

He can't even be there for me to free from this apprenticeship.

UnfairLife7:
are you serious?

I owe my siblings and good friends.

Gajagojo:


No I am not assuming. I do not have facts and so so ask questions
You need to open a dictionary
You expressed an opinion about what we don't know
You said he should have told him before he left the village
That is an assumption. We don't know how they started living together


That is what they test in reading and comprehension in JAMB and WAEC

correctguy101:


You ehn....



But your advice no bad. The elder brother is a terribly irresponsible person.

This kind man go use hungry kih wife and child and nairalanders go still say he dey teach dem to be tough.

Hunger can push that guy enter bad gang.
