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.
I believe him. I've had married women try to ask for me for money. Their logic is that you should have money sitting around because you don't have kids.

What if I turned around to say, why do you have a husband and kids but no money?

Do you see how bad it sounds? Entitled people have audacity.

When someone has this mentality towards their family, they're often just exposing their racism.

I understand that some people will try to squeeze every last dollar out of someone, and I understand that some people in Nigeria think that everyone abroad is rich. But when people complain about helping family, it's rarely because of those reasons.

Online validation have turned many Nigerians to loudest people on earth. If I may ask him the noise maker what exactly in wrong in paying for the child school fee?

I am surprised many people calling it entitlement mentality. I believe the woman sees him as someone who is capable with little burden hence she asked him.

If people like Bill Gates, Tony Elumelu and other individuals offering scholarship many people won't rise. If you have anyone trying to get educated, trying to acquire any skill, please if you have the power assist him or her.
Abeg, he is not Tony elumelu. The moment the woman laid the foundation of her request on the basis of the man not having kids yet, she lost the plot. By the way, government need to start punishing parents who clearly gives birth to kids they cant adquately take care of. Someone who is hardly feeding a child , gets pregnant intentionally while reproducing poverty. Almajiris will increase in the street if nothing is done

This too ridiculous to b true. If it actually happens to b true, it shows the woman obviously called to mock him abt being childless.
No way! This happened to a close friend too. The younger brother wanted to send her very problematic daughter to come live with my friend and his wife; when my friend turned him down, he asked: "What's it you spend your money on anyway?" Don't put anything beyond this entitled lot. I just pray they have their own child soon.

A Nigerian man recently shared a post on social revealing that a family member asked him to pay the school fees for one of their child because he does not have children of his own.

In his post, the man recounted receiving a call from this family member, whom he described as someone he barely communicates with.

He expressed his disbelief at the request, stating, “I just remembered this family member from my mom’s side I don’t even talk to called me to tell me that since I don’t have any kids and don’t pay school fees, why don’t I pay for one of her kids? Stupid woman.”

He also mentioned that when he informed his father about the incident, his father was ready to confront the woman, saying, “I told my poppy, and he wanted to go fight.”
It is better you did not respond to the message than going to tell your pops who wants to go and fight and also bringing it here for validation.

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
She takes them to a good government school in her area and back it up with home lesson teacher.

You think the guy didn't know why he still remain single?

It is a personal sacrifice he is paying to be able to prepare well towards setting up his nuclear family. If he thinks he is now well comfortable to start paying school fees, he will be married with his own children.

And that is when they suddenly remembered that you are being rude and insulting as if they were praising you earlier.

They think you don't have your own reasons and plans for still being single!

it can very much be true, a distant relative of my mum asked my sister to adopt his son since she has no child.

No matter how it sounded, it is either you obliged or say no, may be with a warning never to approach you again. Other than that, I don't see any reason in there to be offended or start a fight

is voluntary and out of volition ,another man giv belle mk u com take responsibility of his,as in wat, father Christmas or jesus
Yep, agreed. The request and the refusal are not the issue here, the anger that followed is the issue. Was that necessary? To go to her house and start a fight?

because the woman is indirectly mocking the guy,his parent is his responsibility even if he is yet married,his siblings as well, you don't just tell someone to pay Your kid fees just because he or she is in oversea,is so stupid and shameless

Ofcourse you don't, because it's likely you're like her. You're slow if you don't see that she's subtly insulting him for being single & childless. Remember that this is a relative he hardly speaks to.

For not buying the lie? I'm feeding and taking care of three generations, I don't need that kind of help

You're slow
Abusive language right there, thrive to be responding in a more civilised manner.

if you don't see that she's subtly insulting him for being single & childless.
We didn't hear her own side of the story or listen to their conversation audio, so I'm taking caution. It could be all lies against her.

Remember that this is a relative he hardly speaks to.
So fvcking what? Go on tiktok and see how people are helping people they don't know

And the father would now go and start fighting on behalf of his son? May be the son should do the needful if indeed, truly the woman said that
