If you are the poorest amongst your siblings or not doing well financially, avoid family gatherings until you have money - Nigerian lady says

If you know you are the poorest amongst yoursiblings or you aren't doing well financially, l recommend that you avoid family occasions or gatherings until you have money. If you must attend, kindly sit at a corner like a visitor.
Let the people that are serving the food and souvenir serve you like one of the guests, so you don't end up embarrassing yourself.
Do not go close to where the food and drinks are being served, sit at a corner and observe. Stop setting yourself up for insults.

I can relate. You're even lucky your dad is by your side. What if your parents are on the side of your siblings who they feel are better than you today. God no go shame us this year.

This is common in African homes. They start to make decisions without involving you. My advice to you is detach yourself and contribute from far. Humans are wird

That is in Igbo land predominantly, though it happens in other states but not as strong as that of Igbo land.

In Igboland, I have seen a father being told to stand up for his son to sit, simply because the boy has money.

But you see this issue of money and respect, it wrong to say it is Igbos. Na everywhere.

So sorry. It does happen. I have seen lots of it. If you are the first son and not able to provide, respect will just vanish. I am not talking from the angle where younger siblings are richer than you. It is different. They may be richer but you are still doing well yourself, no problem....your respect remains. It becomes a problem when you are struggling and you are depending on handouts from younger siblings, my brother, na Oyo.

Well..

She actually meant: “if you're really poor, whereas others are rich and doing very well”.

Because, if all the persons in the family are all doing very well, and I happen to be the person whom other relatives are doing better than,, and yet I am not poor in actual sense,, (though considered the poorest in the family of well-to-do persons),, then she's telling a big lie,, and I don't agree with her.

Unless she's actually referring to a family where the persons there are all averagely on the lower financial doings-and-makings,, then, the poorest of them is actually not sitting well financially,, and thus, she might be correct in that regards.

Same for me too, Xmas was nothing to write home about, this new year celebration is the same, my baby boy is soaking gari in front of me as I'm typing. I pray that people remember to share festive to us so he can enjoy. Things is extremely rough and tough. I'm happy we are alive. All hopes is not lost.
