I'm 21 and he's 28
I don't want to be harsh to you because most of what I might say will seem like that

Also I realise it is easy for me to criticise when I have not walked in your shoes.
You need to talk to your brother. The way I see it your brother is telling you be cannot feed you
So talk to him about helping you find work that will bring in money
This phone repair thing sound somehow,will it bring money in the end
If your brother is acting that way then the atmosphere in the house will be awkward and I imagine there is no smiling or laughing
How is your brothers work or business is it going well
Sometimes a family member can move in and things start to go downhill and Nigerians will read spiritual meanings

You need to communicate to your brother that you are not lazy and you are not a liability.
That you want to contribute if there is a way to do so
Even in marriage money is the thing that brings quarrel
If things are not great your brother might not know how to tell you.

But this attitude of your brother is starving you and he is responsible is wrong maybe he is sensing that and reacting to counter that to let you know you are a man. And not his responsibility. He is old enough to marry
When he left the village do you know what he went through and how he survived
You need to dialogue with your brother
He is housing you show you are thankful
It is not your right

Talk about your brother and mother please.

I'm an elderly man too. Not a kid. We don't do that in my family.
Why will I talk about my mother and brother?
Is your head correct?

That is exactly how Nigeria got to 200 million
Having babies anyhow,not educating them and hoping first born will train them

So a man will not marry till he is 40 because he has brothers

You are free to make that choice for yourself not everyone
who told you getting married at 40 or whatever age is a crime? Is there a law backing age limit in marriage? I don't understand you guys seriously. Must everyone get married?

I greet you all Nairalanders.

Please permit me to share this thing my brother is doing to me.

As my life was about to become useless in the village, I came to the city to stay with my older brother and learn phone repairs.

My plan is to have this handwork so that when i gain admission, i wont rely totally only on education which has failed many in the country.

But my blood brother I'm staying with is behaving unkind to me as though i am a total stranger to him. Even total strangers deserve better treatment.

I'm only an apprenctice and yet to start making money. Most of the days, i trek to the place and return because I dont have transport.

He leave house first before me and return before me too. Before I would come back, he would cook noodles and finish it, washed the pot and everything and keep them clean as though nothing happened. Sometimes he eat outside and come back home and ignore me.

Except there's another way for me, that is how I would go hungry throughout the night and as early as possible in the morning, he would leave the house without reasoning anything food.

I'm seriously starving. I thought he would share the little he has with me till I also start making money. Is this how a senior brother should behave with the junior one?

He's being unkind to me and now I feel like hiding the Garri I brought from the village from him.

But is this how we should behave as blood brothers?

He can't even be there for me to free from this apprenticeship.
eya, your story really touched me. Where do you reside?

I said it already. You come from a dysfunctional home and expect every home to be like yours.

You're not worth my time, so get off!
I'll ignore you henceforth. The mistake I made was to dignify someone like you with a mention followed by responses. Your insults upon insults show you have a fundamental problem.

Let's get some facts clear

1: Your brother owes you nothing , you owe your brother cost of rent and accomodation

2: Your Parents owe you education, shelter and welfare until you are 18, or 21 when you are legally adult

3: If you want your brother to feed you after providing you accomodations, you humbly go to him and plead...

My dear brother, kindly assist me with feeding pending the time I get something doing fetching money and I can contribute to our welfare,

4: whenever you get any Money, try and refill your brothers cooking gas, buy some spaghetti or noddles, or Golden penny Semo, Vegetables Oil and present it to your brother




Now I want you to surprise your brother this Weekend for Saturday morning

Ugwu #50,
Okro #100
Okporoko #150
Ponmo #200
Ogbono #50

Cook Eba and Okro soup for your brother tomorrow morning and serve him

you raised the issue of marriage yourself, claiming someone will not get married by 40 because of their younger siblings right? And i am asking you where did you see it as a crime if they didn't get married at 40? What makes you think you're better than those who got married at 50?

If you cannot support your younger brother with food and little pockets money should such kind of person be talking about marriage? When ordinary feeding is still a problem
Re: My Brother Is Not Helping Me. He Prefers To Starve Me. by vikkogg: 6:07pm On Sep 23, 2023
I took my time to read all your comments and there's one thing common to them all...."complete lack of sense".

How could an elder brother be comfortable with his younger bro sleeping hungry? If he could do that to his own blood brother, imagine how he'd treat a step brother. Now imagine how he'd treat a total stranger.

And you as a person, MS247, support madness. I pity your family.

I pity your parents, your siblings, your children and your wife. You're just as useless as NOTHING.

This kind of entitlement mentality is very very wrong

It is a crime to you reason why you raised it up. So in your warped mentality you believe it is a must for a man to get married before 40 whether poor, rich or average? I wonder when you guys will change with una old people mentality.

If you care to listen, i owe my siblings, parents and good loyal friends. I owe complete strangers that i know he/she is suffering.

I never said it is a crime
For me you need energy to raise kids
A 70 year old man does not have energy to raise teenagers
The chances are then that such children will lose their father when they are still young.

Stop lying it is a crime to you. For you to have said,"a man will not get married till 40 because of his younger brother"

You see it as a crime not to get married before 40, stop lying.

you talk like a kid.

Our fathers, grandfather's and great grandfather's had been raising there kids before 40 right? Yet, Nigeria still remain the poverty capital in the world. What have they achieved with their so called energy?

Ned should be in his 70s right? Any child he has at that age has much more prospect and secured future than 95% of children with their energy father 🤣

1) Did he just suddenly change or was he like that from the very first day you came to his house?

I have a younger brother that have this entitlement mentality. He will never add any valve to you life. He will there will I go watch my car, cloth and even clean his room. He just comes back and sleep and eat only. So tell me if I start behaving same to him will anyone blame me. People are attracted to someone that add value if not it will be the opposite. All I could say is try to be adding some value to him, do things, services in the house. He can only be a wicked brother if you respect and do all chores and he still starves you.
