amazinghands: I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.
Background: I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.
2010: While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)
2016: I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.
On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.
Fast Forward to Today: I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.
Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.
Am I in the wrong here?
You are not wrong...he doesn't deserve it..let him hustle to take care of his new fine..he wasn't willing to go above and beyond for you but focused on himself.
One thing I have seen in this life which I hate is a family where one of the sibling get pregnant for a nonentity and wants struggling sibling who are laser focused on fighting poverty start placing request on siblings or a father who lived a reckless life and when health challenges arise start stressing his children who are trying to get a firm footing in life.
In a story sparking intense online discussion, a man has reportedly withdrawn from a marriage proposal due to a highly demanding traditional bride price list provided by the woman's family.
The incident, shared by social media user Princess Adeola, highlighted the emotional toll on the man and drew attention to cultural practices cthat some argue may discourage potential suitors.
The bride price list, meant to honor the family, included numerous items such as crates of drinks, livestock, clothing, and monetary gifts for various members of the bride’s extended family.
The total value was estimated at ₦3.5 million.
The prospective groom, reportedly eager to marry and even committed to taking the bride abroad and sponsoring her education, expressed heartbreak after realizing the bride herself supported her family's demands, citing the rising costs of living in Nigeria.
Adeola expressed sympathy for the man, describing him as a "good man" who was willing to go to great lengths for his partner. She criticized the bride's family for what she termed "greed" and urged women to advocate for reasonable expectations from their families.
Many online users joined the discussion, debating the relevance and practicality of traditional marriage customs in modern times.
While some defended the practice as a cultural heritage, others viewed it as a hindrance to relationships and an unnecessary financial burden.
I can actually do this wedding for a gal I love but she should forget anything called Hall.. na palour wedding I go do or rent tent for front of her house
They should also do same for convicted corrupt govt officials. Preferably death by hanging cos political corruption is causing more harm than drug to the nation.
Kobojunkie: You lied for what purpose? To deceive your fellow Nigerians all for internet brownie points — likes? 😩

Stricker321: How do married men cope with this situation? My wife wants sex like max of once a week. If she can even reduce it to twice a month she will do it. Even the once a week is usually a struggle. At night, she will say she is tired, in the morning, she will say I am disturbing her sleep.
This has caused quarrels, we have discussed, but before the blink of an eye, she has returned to her old way. I am determined not to sleep with another woman, but the struggle has been terrible.
I am just wondering why it has to be this tough and stressful to have access to my wife?
Had this problem with my wife...I just lock up now I havea sweet lady who I visit..very creamy..small touch her body is so wet...see her like twice a week and those times I don't come home call wife to tell her somethings came up and won't be returning.

SultanOfAbia: Anytime I sleep with a girl. They immediately fall in love with me and start getting attached.
Not that it is a bad thing It's just that I just want to knack and go. Some of them even start sleeping in my house and washing my clothes for me.
But most times it doesn't end well Because they know my house and come unannounced then they catch me with another girl. Heartbreak begins, but truthfully I hate causing heartbreaks.

WriterNig: Those with a good memory remember vividly how Russia continued to warn against Ukraine joining NATO since 2008, that's over 16 years ago.
The day of the invasion, many western countries thought Putin wouldn't dare invade, they threatened and threatened, some even thought it was just regular exercises Russia was carrying out.
Look at Ukraine today. So if you think Putin is stupid or bluffing by continously warning against Russia's security being threatened, then you don't know Russia very well. He wants it to be on record for the whole world to see, then the US will no longer be able to rewrite history just like they did in WWII.
Russia is slow to react, very patient but when they put their foot into something, there's no going back.
The US has more to lose than Russia. A nuclear war with Russia will weaken the US and pave the way for China to take over the number one spot.
The US will never recover from it, let alone retain it's status.
Now I see why Warren has been a net sellers of stock..the US economy is about to take a hit.
I know an hausa man into scraps..he has over four mansions in lagos and abuja built from money from scrap.. also bought trucks with he use to transport good to the recycling plants..deals in metals..papers..plastics.
altteemy: I would look at it more that we are the home team and have all our sound and recording equipment setup while the indian away team would have to rely on the lady's writings and possibly later our recordings fom request after which it would have been edited.
There is no laxity here. Probably OP was just being sentimental and of course, our not appreciating our own.
That's another angle...its just a snapshot of the event...pictures don't tell the whole story was just catching cruise.
bennybuhari: The picture speaks volume. The lady that accompanied Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi came prepared with work tools, but our man is just sitting idle. Probably got appointed by virtue of party loyalty. Just look at him, looking on while the lady was taking notes.
