If you can help you assist. For me there's no reason to start fight over this. Show some maturity. That she hasn't communicated with you for a long while isn't a reason you can't or shouldn't help if you can. If you aren't then politely let her know.
You see in this life, you never know when you'd need the help of someone you least expect to receive from. Even her child might be your saviour Jesus tomorrow. Just apply wisdom with maturity to the whole thing.

I see nothing wrong in helping if you can afford it comfortably.

Last term I helped one of my distant cousins with 4 kids pay the school fees of one of them.

It was very obvious he was struggling to meet up with his expenses in this terrible economy

HitSong:
This terrible economy will soon change the way people live

- Home schooling will increase

- Wives must work from home, do home schooling and take care of the house and children etc.

The money parents pay for school fees, after school lessons, daycare, house help etc is OUTRAGEOUS AND NOT SUSTAINABLE.

ANYONE EARNING LESS THAN 500K IN THE CITY WITH FAMILY OF 2-4 CAN'T LEAVE A DECENT COMFORTABLE LIFE AGAIN.

TINUBU ECONOMICS IS EVIL.

Entitlement mentality

Most stories on X are made up.
This too ridiculous to b true. If it actually happens to b true, it shows the woman called to mock him abt being childless.

Poor people and having children like rats

It may indeed be true. I have an aunt in the U.S. who’s married to a Nigerian man. They’ve been unable to have children for over 20 years. About five years into their marriage, the husband decided to help his sister by bringing two of her children from Nigeria to the U.S. to live with him and my aunt. So, these children have basically been with them for around 15 years now.

Their mother would regularly send them packages with basic items—not because they needed them, but as a way to show her care.

Three months ago, something unsettling happened. She sent another package as usual. That day, my aunt left for work, leaving her husband and the two now-grown children at home. After bathing, the older child accidentally left a bar of native soap and a piece of paper with instructions in the bathroom. These instructions contained an incantation, which he was supposed to repeat while bathing. Shockingly, the incantation was along the lines of ensuring that the couple would not have children, so they’d continue to take care of him, his sibling, and their mother back in Nigeria.

My aunt's husband discovered the soap and the instructions, which exposed the situation.

Most of the people commenting on this thread are still single or still leaving with their parents if you have 3 to 4 kids in a private school with this wicked presidiot on power then you'll understand the woman's plight considering the new increments on the private schools student fees if one asked his or her relatives to support them with their children's school fees it's not a crime

Pepperdemisback:
Did you not read the reason the woman gave that got him annoyed?

Numerouno94:
Are for real? Some people are soo evil. How can u pay back evil for kindness. Does the mother knws wat it takes to bring two kids from Africa to US? They brought two of ur kids not minding the financial implications, they even took those kids as their own yet u busy using juju in connivance wit ur kids to stop them from having their own kids. Which kind witchcraft we go call this one?

I i were in the shoes of the couples, i will simply buy tickets for them and send them back to meet their mother. Simple.

Her request wasn't out of place, since the guy confirmed she's a relative. But her approach made her sound stupid and entitled

Don't antagonize her over the past, it's sheer immaturity especially if you guys are related.

Use the money for sponsoring a DNA test for the man instead.

maasoap:
We don't have opportunity to listen to the woman in question to know how she made the request. The silly boy might have twisted the conversation to sensationalise it.



That request wasn't out of place. I have a friend who is sponsoring one kid per family in all his extended family.
