I no make my money for anybody. When I'm broke, I'm broke alone, why should I be rich and be weighed down by people I barely know.

By the way, from 200m Nigerians, 133m are dirt poor, less than 500k people have more than N1m resting in their account. If you think you can solve Nigeria's problem because you have little money, it will all get exhausted.
Have you thought about the fact that some of those who have less than 500k in their accounts may have landed properties and investments worth millions

Every one of your relatives, even the distant ones wants to associate with you and call you their family members once they see you have money and doing well.

If you’re miserable, even your siblings will not want to associate with you in public.

Life’s hard and that’s the way it is. B

De way pple de beg 4 9ja sometimes i de wonder whether we no de shame 4 dis we country. Even 4 dis nairaland u go see different monika begging 4 money like say some pple get minting machine 4 auz. We knw that things r hard but at least don't be a burden to another person. Mek we de get shame small. I get many relatives abroad but the funny thing is that i don't even have any of dia numbers talkless of begging them 4 help. I can't even beg my own father 4 financial help even when i was still a teenager. Back then if i had issue financially the only person i had the boldness of telling was my mom

Your boy is not serious with his life.

He is a damn idiot.

That's how he was running around early last year because his younger brother's family wanted to relocate to the UK. He was the one who sponsored 80% of their trip. His brother claimed he didn't have enough money. You don't have money, you are going to the UK for Masters with your wifen.

I am not the rich relative, infact, I just go by everyday doing the best I can..
I am this person that doesn't know how to beg cos right from onset after sec school, been fending for myself till I got married...
Everyone knows the terrible situation in Nigeria right now so I can't but pity the rich among many poor relatives right now...

I have a junior brother who just came in from outside... He was looking fresh and fly but looking at him yesterday, I almost shed tears...
He has been the one shouldering many responsibilities and he is just 33yrs old...
He said Egbon, you self no need anything? I told him he shouldn't worry that I will manage...
I was eavesdropping one of his call last December and he was lamenting he has spent close to 13m in just 3months of coming home...
The problem we have as Nigerians is, everybody tends to have a problem or the other when their rich or abroad relatives land...
Spending for his immediate family isn't the problem but iru wa, giri wa,(diff. Sort of people) and as per naija mentality, if you don't do, they may inflict you with something or somehow diabolically stop you from traveling back.. The last time he was home was 8yrs ago, he sure me say if he travel again, na till retirement before he go come back....

So share your experience as per the aforementioned topic..

It's so tiring. You get to be the one who call the shots every time.

Everyone will try to hold back from telling you the truth when you're doing wrong for fear of being shunned or not making you feel offended.

So long you don’t make the wrong relative a millionaire while you’re broke.
You can only make your sibling a millionaire when you are a billionaire

When God blesses you, the first thing you should do is to light up the candle of your family members and closed friends, so that when your candle goes off they'll return that same gesture. Else there will be total darkness.

Yes, They all have sense of entitlement. If you are blessed, stay low key. If you have #10,000,000. Tell them you have only #150,000. I have been there before, its not easy. They all want to take from you. They don't care! Even inlaws will come with their problems. I know what I'm saying

Re: Your Experience As A Rich Or Only Rich Relative.. by Briller: 1:46pm On Jan 08, 2023
Hmm, whether you are the richest relative or not, God help all who are in the middle class. Everybody wants something from you, even those who are better than you.

I personally feel angered when people who are young and strong go around begging. I can understand if the person is asking for capital to start off a business to support his/her self but not when they keep asking in the name of being Smart.

Many people feel entitled and come with the expectations that you would take up their responsibilities and woe betide you if you turn them down. The good news is, you need not give in to the threat of being harmed whether physically or spiritually. Know where your strength/ protection comes from and be still.

Nigerians are mostly entitled people. My money is to take care of my Children and parents. I can support my siblings but no urgency with this.

When I climb up the ladder, I can provide ladders for others to climb. If I try to pull many people up the same ladder I am climbing, then we will nearly all fall off.

Tell me this is not true. If it is, then he is foolish, you mean for the whole year earning 2m he was not saving and putting for cash away for December spending? Tell another story

He is beyond foolish.
Bros, this guy has debts lined up 6 months in advance. Not for him, not for investments, for family. When he got this new job, his mother decided build a bigger house and build another in the village (father is late). Na this mumu dey foot majority of the bills.
As he is, he has uncompleted projects opening mouth to swallow his money.
Do you believe that this fool sponsored his gf abroad?
Meanwhile, he has a brother who is also doing well. That one doesn't answer them.

Property is not money. You can't put it in your pocket to buy food stuff at the market.

Please, always pray for God to raise your siblings along with you otherwise billing go kill you. I’m talking from experience. If not for God I almost drove my mum out of my house because of the weight of the billing.

It’s wise to set up somethings for your parents and siblings to be earning from than sending them money regularly. Sending them money regularly will make them to depend on you like air and that’s very bad and dangerous for your financial and marital lives.

Furthermore, if anything happens to your source of income, their lives will turn upside and none of them will be able to give you a helping hand because you gave them fish instead of teaching them how to fish.
