Elxandre:
learn a skill. I don't want to hear any excuses. That is the only way out for you.
As for your bro how does he get money to smoke? how old is he?
We don't know. Coz he is not working again.. or maybe if any one give him money. He will use it to smoke. Or if he should go where there are selling it. They will give it to him.. he sold his gas and has burn all his clothes and credentials.

Is your brother prepared to go to the rehab though? Because you can never force an addict to go clean, only he can make that decision himself... Otherwise you guys will just waste your money trying to help someone who isn't ready to change.
He keep on saying nothing is wrong with him..

Your brother is smoking something else because weed doesn't make one mad. I smoke weed daily so I know what I'm saying and other stoners can attest to that. I am 100% certain he takes Crystal Methamphetamine popularly known as ice which has affected his brain.
I have not smoked even cigar since I was born, talking of weed. I once ask someone who smoke weed if it can make someone mad. The person said no, unless it will be the work of the village people, so that there will say it is weed that make someone mad.

He will only one day find himself alone because at the end of the day, those parents will still leave this world regardless of what does and chances are his brother would still be an addict in the next 20 years after spending so much money on trying to get him clean.

His family is obviously expecting him to spend his money on both the parents and brother as if he's not a married man, hence his father is manipulating him by telling him to start saving money for his funeral, knowing very well that his son is going to feel bad and find a way to be sending them more money... There's a difference between being concerned and being obliged to show concern on matters beyond your control.

His family is manipulating him into sending more money as if it will help change the situation with his brother, when it wouldn't... And if he keeps falling for their manipulations, he'll end up broke and no woman wants to be with a broke man, that's just the bitter truth.
My dad is not manipulating me.. even though he is a farmer, he was still very strong, but down my dad and mum are just like skeletons.. they are working dead, unless God will only keep them.. I could not even imagine that he was my dad.. bone all part his body.. he has seen that the end is near, even me, I have seen it.. i am just praying to God to sustain them..

Samantha125:
I haven't... But what I know is that if he keeps investing himself in this situation, he'll still end up lonely by himself one day because his wife might also eventually leave him.

What his parents are doing will only subject him to more suffering... Their failures shouldn't be his burden.

He should focus on his wife and children, they're his future.
I was in the village on Wednesday, there are two land in the village which my dad use it as a collateral to collect 300k for my brother school stuff. He beg those people for the money and even show them my brother results, that was why those people gave him 150k each, even if the want to sell the two land, it will not be upto 500k.. I have beg my dad to sell the two land in other to take my brother to a rehab centre.. he said the land was a gift from his grandparents, and it is not usually sold..

Well, is he willing to get help? Is there a rehab center you can take him to? I wish you good luck as you navigate this and wish your brother healing, IJN.
Amen

His brother's failure will affect his own success in many ways. No man can stand alone. For you to succeed, you need the people around you to be successful in one way or the other, just as they need you for their own success.
Truly, it has really affecting me deeply.. I cry every day and night, asking God for a second chance for him..my father used to call him my engineer each time he comes to village.. now people are very happy and be using it to call him when once he pass by . They will call him engineer in mocking terms..

May God help you bro. I think you should just move on with your life, because a brother like that is not willing to change, he chose that part, he's not a kid. I once had someone like that who brought shame and disgrace to himself. Believe me, your brother knows what he's doing.

Tell your wife to look for job or better still she can learn how to make zobo and puff puff, at least that one is easy to startup.

He is my only brother, each time I try to man up and face my own responsibility.. I keep remembering our memories.. how we use to be.. I have cry and ask God for a second chance for him

Do not allow family members to weigh you down, else you'll kpai early.

1.
Try rehabilitation agency for your brother because drug addiction is very destructive and hard to cure. But the cure is possible.

2.
Always invite your brother and encourage him. You can do it over the phone is you live far from him. When talking to him, avoid mocking or scolding him. Encouragement is better than scolding and hyping is better than mockery in this type of situation. This is psychology. You can't use provocation to win him back. Just remind him that he is destined for greatness. Remind him of his good academic performance in the past. Remind him that he is a hero because not all from poor backgrounds can do well in school like he does. Then, beg him to stop anything that can ruin his destiny. Tell him that you foresee him being rich and having a beautiful wife and great children. Dis kind preaching go fit reset him brain.

While talking to him, never make the mistake of informing him that the family is hoping on him. If you tell him that, he will conclude that you just want to push him into a position for him to carry all the burdens in the family. Avoid letting him know that his success will benefit the family. E get why. Psychology is deep and may appear crazy.

3.
Your wife should look for a job. Even if it is to hawk sachet water and snacks. Even if it is to work as a house cleaner or nanny. What she contributes will go a long way in helping the family. I wonder the standard of living your family has with 30k. I want to ask why you went into marriage with that level of poverty, but let that be a story for another day.

4.
Your sister? Let me not say much since you have not said much about her. But if care is not taken, that one might be another cross for your family. I pray she doesn't breed children outside wedlock and depend on you people to raise those children.

Depression is real. Didn't you read the condition of the parents? Mother is weak, father has been toiling in farms to sustain the family and the son he laboured so much for is about to be a waste. Don't you understand how this situation can deteriorate the parents' mental and physical health?
Thank you.. but if you call him to talk, he will come and sit down.. all of a sudden he will tell you he doesn't have time. And will stand up and leave.. he has burn all his clothes, shoes and books.. so I was not in the village I didn't know if he had burn his credentials.. even the clothes he once bought for my mum years ago. He ask for it, and started shouting at my mum, saying he will beat her. My mum gave him the clothes. He burn it too. He now wears one short and polo. Then tie wrapper for neck

You didn't state what level he is in at school?

He probably started smoke to enhance his academic performance just like musicians takes it for inspiration.

Pray to God to heal him.

Approach any state government social intervention agency in your state and plead with them to help rehabilitate him.
400level, civil engineering.. his 100level and 200level was very good. All A's. 300l we stop seeing his results because he didn't show it to anyone.. I have been praying and crying to God to help him
AutosMy Only Brother by podium(op): 6:18am On Jan 04, 2025
Greetings All, I want to make this simple and short.. I need help.
We are 3 in the family, my dad is not doing well, he is a farmer in the village. My mom is not strong to do anything, she stays in the house, while dad works in the farm and sells the petty harvest from the farm. I am the first son, I work in a private school with 2kids and a wife.. it is only God that has been my greatest provider. my sister is nothing to write home about, my brother was doing very well in school. Therefore my dad lease his farm to people in other to support my bro in school.. I really saw greatness in my brother and I really believe he will be the one to left up the family.. my dad didn't really care about me, I am an introvert and a shy person, so I am not very bold and i am always alone. My dad never really care about me. I started working in the private school since 2012 with a salary of 7k till date with a salary of 30k. To be frank I am better than some of my mate. Some people do not believe I am surviving with a 30k salary with 2kids and a wife, to make it worst, my wife is not working so therefore I am everything in the hauz. When I was single, I save small money from my job which I use it to sponsor my self in school, I am done with ND And HND, but no money for my clearance. Now back to the main issues: my brother was doing very excellent in school, I don't know how he got into smoking Indian herm. He got into it and now, since last he is not normal again. My brother is slowly running mad, he has brought disgrace and embarrassment to the family, my dad and mum and now a laughing stock in the village.. my bro is turning into a mad man. But he still have 90 percent of his memory. My parents are weak, the last time my dad calls me, he told me to arrange money for their burial incase they die anytime.. like this I can't boast of 1k in my account, my parents are drying up everyday due to depression, thinking and embarrassment my brother has brought to the family.. upon all the suffering my dad passed through in other to support my brother, now my brother is nothing to write home about... Please who can help my brother, who can rehab him. Please. I will be losing 3 things this year, unless God will say no.. please someone should help me. I have been crying everyday, praying to God to heal my brother...
