Calitoscassius:To be honest with you , you are playing with your life . Your mother is biased cuz he is also her son but the truth is , her advice will lead to your death if care is not taken . Be sure you do not ever tell your mother or any family member whenever you want to touch down in Nigeria or else , you won't live to tell the story ! If you don't want to die , follow up your brother with everything within your power and recover what is yours cuz in Nigeria , most people only understand violence . Then after that , disconnect completely and do not bother coming home to relate with so called brother or Family . Do what you can for them but from arms-length . He will still try to kill you though whether you recover your properties or not and he will most definitely use your weakness ; your mother to get you . She wouldn't know that she is the trap, so thread carefully . I really feel sorry for you . Good luck ! |

Classyuniquebae:He has already threatned me, You know? Alot of people warned me about involving him in my dealings but i didn't listen, i told them look! He is my brother i trust him! I thought that they were tryiing to interfere in me and my brother's family relationship. But they were right all along. My father also warned me about him, Dad warned me that my brother is a dangerous man. He was also right. Mum told me she managed to get some property documents from him not long ago but it turned out the documents were fake. I checked the documents with few lawyers and property surveyors it was fake. He cannot be that dangerous surely, can he? |

Calitoscassius:For those of us that grew up in rural parts of Nigeria, I've seen worse case scenarios just like yours and you know the twist to the story ? Most of those men whose brothers ate their millions sent for one project or the other , or converted their properties to theirs all ended up dead in one way or the other. I'm not trying to scare you but a brother who can do this to his own brother had already killed you in his mind a long time ago , doing it physically would be just nothing to him . What's is holding him is not having you within reach . This is a case that can be simply handled if you had wanted to . Speak to him in the language he understands, if you know what I mean . You should either move on or do the needful . |

I wonder why your supposed mother isn't looking out for you... what do I know? Anybody who can take advantage of your like this, despite your past help, deserves no pity or consideration.
