To refill full may cost 7-8k but even half will be ok. Thank you.

You have gotten money right? It’s best you let people know that you got some money from kind Nairalanders. Than using this thread to generate free money for yourself.

Good day all, please judge this matter and see if what my brother is doing to me is fine or not. I also need your advice.

I live with my senior brother. We are all managing life because we are struggling. He sell for person in the market while I am an apprentice. Last year November, I started learning fashion design and I am barely 3 months. So we agreed I will be the one refilling cooking gas always and buy other little things like salt, pepper, soap and so on while he'll buy most of food items.

Since I cannot sew well yet, money does not flow my way so common but there is how my boss will send me to go deliver work to someone and the person will dash me N1000 or N2000 sometimes for my effort. Another way I make money is by amendment of clothes when i have. That is how I make little little money for survival. I have been refilling the gas as far as money is in my hand but this January, things are very tough that I hardly see N100 especially the last two weeks.

Because I don't have money to refill gas, my brother is now eating from outside or sometimes borrow a neighbour gas to cook noodles and he will eat alone without minding if I have eat or not like what happened yesterday which i was very hungry, saying when I have money to refill gas, we will start cooking in the house again and I will eat. I have try to tell him I don't have money these days but he is saying I'm hiding my money and be looking at his face. This is coming from a blood brother who is my senior.

Note: I am 23, SSCE holder. I decided to learn the trade after my attempts to go to university failed financially and otherwise.

Please is this alright because am beginning to keep malice with him.

Look him up and tell him your sorry eyeball to eyeballs

Honestly your brother is a shitty person but don't let that bother you. You can turn this gas problem of yours into a business idea. At least you being here on Nairaland shows that you're literate enough to implement what I'm about to suggest to you. Go and research on Biogas, how the biodigester can be built for domestic purposes using a couple of drums, PVC pipes and bicycle tubes. You can even upscale it for gas refilling business by getting a compressor and valves just like Vulcanizers and be selling it at your own rate for profit.

Beremx:
You can fill your gas according to what you can afford. Gas vendors sell gas as low as 1kg. You can always plan ahead too

Kriss216:
Something must have made your brother suspect you're hoarding your money. Maybe he sees betslip in your pocket or around the house.

He's your brother, no need to start keeping malice with him. Next time he starts eating noodles, get a spoon and join him.

It's not fair though we've not heard your brothers version of the story
Btw you're a man now, so man up bro. Life isn't even fair in the first place na why life no easy be that.

best advise... I'm very sure that's what my bro will do if I ever attempt sich

Hiding money from him or not, what manner of senior brothers are we have in this extra time for christ sake, i can't even do that to the my cousin talk more of blood brother.




Op God will uplift you, though ur brother is not really financially buoyant too,

I really appreciate people that help that op, may God multiply your hustle,


Good people still dey sha! We can surely have a better society.

MrBrownJay1:
sadly, instead of being grateful that you have a brotha that pays for EVERYTHING ELSE in your life, you are here looking down on him being upset because "you" are slacking off. you better be grateful yeah, and stp looking down on small stuff. SORT YOUR LIFE OUT!

What kind of silly, ill-thought and flippant statement is this? Seems you will be a naturally Evil person, in real life.
Did you even read what he posted at all or you just have comprehension problems?

- They agreed on a sharing formula. you do A, l do B. (I dont know if your own kind of brother expect his junior to be feeding him.
You are heartless sha.

Last year November, I started learning fashion design and I am barely 3 months. So we agreed I will be the one refilling cooking gas always and buy other little things like salt, pepper, soap and so on while he'll buy most of food items.

This guy is a baby Apprentice, he is just hustling and under the wings of a Brother who is already working!
We all know January can be tough for most people and most people pass-on that financial inconvenience towards things like sewing New Dress but a good Brother should Trust his Junior (except the Junior is untrustworthy in the past)

How is he looking down on his Brother?
How is he slacking, as you put it?
Will he steal, if he can find money, since he is not yet on a salary or on his own, just to buy those things for the house?
How will wicked and Evil Brothers like you, see your own Brother starve to death, while you sit down there and gulp up food?
What is this country turning into sef? Evil doers everywhere!

It is obvious, for the young man to come online, he is at wits-end and very is still hungry.
Are you saying his Brother should starve him till he gores out to commit crime?
What if tables turn tomorrow, should he serve his brother from the same Plate, his brother is serving him now?

@Op: I feel your situation.
Your Brother is who he is but having not heard from him, it is difficult to put the all the blame on him, as l woul dove to, from your story.
It is inhuman for any Brother to treat you the way he does, if everything you said is true and exactly as you say it is.
When next he cooks, go to him aad ask him why he does not believe that you dont have money and why he thinks you should starve to death while watching your own brother eating? Ask him.
Then tell him to share whatever he has with you, as you are his Brother and only God knows what tomorrow may bring, that you would do the same thing to him, if you were in his position, by sharing whatever you have with him.

If he still drives you away, just go into a quiet place and start giving thanks to God because he has shown you an "enemy", early in Life!
Some people take a long time to realise their true enemy but yours may have just been made known to you on a platter of gold.

Next is to sit back and device more ways of making legit money (How about sewing Cloth Pants and hawking it?
How about buying a large Towel, cut it into smaller pieces of "Face Towel sizes", sew the edges and then sell them (each is about #300!)?
How about a side-hustle like selling Pure Water, in this dry weather?
I hope you are not the type that "double-deal" with his Brother sha, this can bring about trust-issues in your relationship.

When God wants to do great things in your Life, he purifies you first. Your troubles are your own purification stage, be steadfast and upright, this too shall pass.
I wish you well.


I have seen your Account Number, l will do some money into it, anonymously through a third party

Britishcoins:
Some brothers are wicked, I wish my younger ones will love me the way I so much care for them, last year from September to December, I single handedly built house for my young brother to live with his new wife since my both parents are late, I bought from matress, plasma, new generator and many gadget just to make him feel comfortable.... That 3m I spent would have nearly complete my own house in Township but because of love I don't want them to suffer like I did during my time of apprenticeship.
My brother don't ever hate ur brother, instead work harder as if though u don't have any brother. That was the spirit that I used to escape poverty, I don't believe that I have helper, except God

God bless you

the minute the lil brotha didnt fill up his own part of the deal, thats when he should have LOOKED FOR WAYS TO SORT HIS LIFE OUT rather than looking down on people who are upset because he isnt doing his own part! thats not called being evil, thats called A REALITY CHECK because if it wasnt for the brotha, he will be on the streets right now.

stop teaching your younger ones to be COMPLACENT, and instead show them tough love so they dont later expect to get everything to fall on their lap.

Hello,How can you be reached?Quite sorry you went hungry.Can I know how to get to you?

Thanks

What is most important is for you to eat,please let me know how you can be reached as fast as can

Your post oozes the typically sense of entitlement from Nigerians.

Double your hustle and keep your own side of the bargain.

Nekky5:
Try and have an honest discussion with him as regards your income flow. Let him know and see that you are being sincere ,that is if you have been oo. Love him and live in Peace with him . You guys are blood Brothers. Meanwhile work harder legitimately while you look for own apartment no matter how small it might be.

Person never see 2000 to fill 3kg of gas u are telling her to move out of d house, is her brother chasing her out?
Abi when she get to her own apartment ,won't she be buying all these things.
Moving out is not the solution for her.
She is trying and her brother too is trying, things are hard in this country now. For someone to give u a roof over ur head, the person tried

nnenwa5:


This is what I am talking about above

how does it concern u? He needs more Money for foodstuff. Abeg carry face

Tell him you're hungry before hunger kills you
His hunger may be taking better part of his sense hence making him eat alone
You're both not matured to be deep thinking yet.
Ask for food, ask him to help you. He might be erroneously thinking you have money and you're dying in silence for nothing. If he doesn't then show empathy after you ask, then it's time to reconsider your relationship with him

AutoChick4U:

And he told you this? Or you just wan chook mouth

InTheCloudySky:
If he's not housing her, is she supposed to be living on the streets when she can stay with him? And how is he feeding her when he told her when she has money to refill gas, they will start cooking in the house again and she will eat? How do you say something so cruel to your own sister?

I don't see any sense of entitlement with the OP, else I would've called it out. She's trying. The brother is just being unnecessarily stingy and mean towards her. If I were him and in their position, I would share my last cup of water or whatever I'm eating with her because that's what a loving older sibling should do. It's not as if she's hasn't been trying herself.

You see human being can be unpredictable sometimes. I've had a roommate whom will stack hundreds or thousands of naira on bet9ja sport ticket and come home saying he doesn't have money to buy little things like paper or fish to prepare food infact this guy has a childish habit of licking soup inside pot. Iiving with people like that would make one start acting funny though some people could be unnecessarily stingy to their siblings which is very bad oo. Let's just pray make God bless us all sha so we won't be at someone's mercy you know.

@Didi2d one really needs to be smart and loyal when living with someone as roommate especially when the person is financially buoyant than you do... You have to be loyal and transparent so you don't give bad impression and get blacklist real quick then you have to be really moderate in everything.
I have lived with silly people except for one bros like that. My last roommate once told me we aren't eating "enough". Say as guy man we must be using at least half paint of garri to make eba just 2 of us oo.. I shock bros!
Me weh be say Lagos don shrink my belle
2 wraps of restaurant eba don do me like dis but him no get money still want dey chop like glutton. nobi juju be dat.

Kriss216:

I've seen two friends calling themselves My Blood , when one was arrested, the other absconded. It was the brother of the arrested one that came from another state to bail him.

For me, I don't think I can love any woman more than I love my mother. I keep telling anyone who cares to listen.

My dad's junior brother died his wife absconded. My dad was the one that went to bring back the corpse

If you’re in lagos and really willing to attend school. Please contact me at burtter@yahoo.com

Romanoff:


I'm not in conflict with my siblings.

I've just seen a lot of times that blood is not thicker than water.

I've seen siblings kill each other over inheritance.

I've seen a rich sibling abandon his family because the became rich.

I've seen a son and daughter call their mother a witch.

I've seen a mother and father hate thier children.

So is blood thicker than water in these instances?

Yes, blood is thicker than water...haven't u seen the opposite of all you listed above? Like he said, go reconcile with your siblings

Pele dear, I know its hard but try. And make God your close companion and prayer your weapon. The bible says MEN ought always to pray. This time will soon pass. You see that your brother, he is not your enemy. He is trying to make a man out of you! The world is a rough and hard place and unless God himself raises a helper for you, there is no free food anywhere especially for a man! Begin to think outside the box on ways to earn money even if it means advertising your amendment works to people in your area. Put eye in the work you are learning and learn it fast and begin now to despise depending on anyone for help whether family or not. Our help comes only from God. Look for garri to be drinking until you find money to fill that gas and continue living in unity with your brother. He has taught you a valuable lesson. One you cannot learn in any school. Good luck.
