Help! Mine Jobless 18 Years Old Brother Just Bought A Car Worth 5million Naira by gascoign1(m): 9:00pm On Oct 27, 2011
My younger brother just bought properties worth millions, he is a jobless school cert holder,though we don't live together as i live in Lagos, he lives with the family in Delta State,i heard he was in to this internet thing and i discouraged him from going to cafe by getting him a job in a viewing center,I reported him to our family pastor and even intercede for him in prayers and even paid for his extra moral classes now he is planning to relocate my parents to a five bedroom self apartment with boys quarter ,even though my parents deserve good life i think they should enjoy it from a legitimate source which last forever. Now i can hardly talk to my brother because he feels he is more richer than i am and has finally taken my place as the breadwinner, Please NL what should i do? He might end up setting a high standard that we can not maintain. should i report him to EFCC?

The Guy is planing on how he can give his parents a facelift, you are talking about reporting him to them.

@OP,Give him the benefit of doubt,demand for the benevolent Yankee friend contact.You need to thank him for his kind gestures,know what he's done/doing with your kid brother.

Sit him down and talk.Let him know the risks he's exposing himself and the family to if he is involved in anything shady.He might not even know,some guys might be using him as a 'bird' to move things and throw stones without him knowing.Little things like answering a phone,delivering/picking a mail,opening a bank account etc might appear harmless but very risky.

If after the brotherly advises(given with love and not envy) he still can't convince you of how he made the money,tell your parents seperately and if they too can't persuade him to talk then call a family meeting and let the whole family distance themselves from him till he opens up.However,if ur parents don't care then its you against the family.

Tight spot.I don't envy you. . .

I actually would not want this to be a family issue like calling for a meeting because family members benefiting from him might see it as an act of envy,I have talked to him several times,besides he will not give me the contact address of his so called friend in Yankee,my parents see him as a God sent,as they believed he was destined to redeem to the family from poverty

@poster!
don't let your envy[camouflaged as concern] becloud your sense of judgement!

your little bro is 18 and there4 he is fully responsible for any thing he gets himself involved in!

I will advice you to stop complaining about him. If you are in doubt as to how he made his money, the best you can do is not to partake in the money!

For him to have acquired such fortune at 18, means he is way toooo big to listen to any nonsensical advice about morality!

Its either you join him and make the best out of the money, or you keep away from him! Shit happens you know? so get over it.

that's my take on your issue. no offense.

clear difference between them and my parents, my parents- mom especially will demand to know the source of the 'sudden wealth' and refuse to take a naira if she isnt satisfied

I can see that you care for your brother. That is such n admirable trait.

Talk to him first, then call him and your parents to a family meeting. You all need to talk this out.

Last option after doing all you could: Talk to the cops.
Re: Help! Mine Jobless 18 Years Old Brother Just Bought A Car Worth 5million Naira by spyder880(m): 7:18am On Oct 28, 2011
I dont think this boy is doing legal business, what legal business could an 18yr old do and make millions, na him invent computer?

The only thing you could do is to advice him from the sides while keeping distance.

What kind of human beings do we av in this country?? OP is concernd about his 18 yr old brother who is obviously involvd in some shady business, and some people are here saying poster is jealous. I cant believe this! This boy is 18 for crying out loud and a school cert holder for that matter! If my 23yr old brother who is a graduate but an applicant suddenly starts throwing money around without any tangible and legal source of income, i will be concerned talkless of an 18yr. What sort of biz is he into that he cant be transparent about if it is legal? This is why this country will remain where it is. Tomorrow we'll be blaming corrupt politicians and the likes of them but here we are, busy calling OP jealous. Nonsense.
