And I can bet you not one of them has ever asked her how she is genuinely doing emotionally. They just take and take and take. I am happy for her since you already did 2.1 you can do 5 so that you can start taking care of your siblings too.

As for me ..

Your step mother getting as much as 300k is a miss .. your elder sister Should be getting that .. if you were being generous enough, na like 50k suppose touch your step mum hand ...

2. I understand why you gave the 500k though, they got the job for you.. I understand that ..


Even though I don't know what your step mum did for you , that should have been your elder sis in your step mum position but if you could have spared a 100k or 50k for her ..

Your elder sis should've been top priority in this case .. Heck she could have even rejected the money but she would have known you acknowledge all what she has been doing for you ...

You better go find her , prostate and beg her vigorously..

We are four siblings in my family: two boys who are twins and two girls. When my mum passed, my elder sister stood in as a parent for us. She paid for our university education and sent us monthly allowances for feeding. In fact, three of us would have dropout if not for her. Even when I graduated from school, she was still sending me 30k every month, pending when I get a job. This is in addition to also sending same to my siblings and my father. She has done this for close to 10 years without complaint.

Recently, I finished a project that paid me 2.1 million. This is how I spent the money:
I gave 500k to my church to thank them for getting me the job.
300k to my father.
100k to my stepmum.
100k to my second sister.
Bought 700k laptop to help with my coding job.
I used the rest to pay rent, change my wardrobe, clearance from school, and feeding.

My elder sister found out from my twin brother and got angry because I didn't tell her anything about the job or the money. She was also angry because I didn't set aside money for my twin brother going to law school this year.

To be honest, I didn't think it was a big deal to tell her. I knew my twin was in safe hands cos she was already handling that so I didn't bother. Before now, she had already paid the law school fees (about 500k). So I thought it was settled. I tried to reason with her but she refused to hear.

She was also angry I didn't tell her about the laptop. I knew I messed up here because she was the one that encouraged me to pick up coding and even bought my first laptop. I told her I wanted to finalize everything but it made her angry tye more. She blocked me and I also found out she blocked everyone else including our father.

All these happened in April. I thought she would calm down by now. But I just discovered that she has moved out of our state without telling anyone. She has blocked all the numbers we tried to reach her.

My twin brother said she only sends him allowance for law school (100k every month) and has blocked his number so he won't contact her. He is the only person she sends money to now as she has stopped giving us as before.

I am so confused. Why is she acting like this? Shouldn't she be happy for me? Nairalanders help me.
people should learn from your story. This is the consequence of entitlement. You think you are helping but you are actually digging your grave. Op have you asked your sister how was she able to do these. You think she has no needs, that she is an ATM machine. Even when you made 2.1 million you should have called her and give her that money because she deserves. However, we are here now. You have to find her and go and beg her

The boldened really annoyed me. How much did the church contribute to you for 10 years?

Your sister bore your burden for all that time and you did not even see her worthy of even mentioning your 2.1m success?

You are actually very lipsrsealed

If not for nairaland censors, I would have cursed you bitterly.

Life can be funny sometimes. What has happened is that your sister has finally broken free from you. She's been sacrificing so much because she sees you as family, but finally she has seen that you see her as a financial asset, so now that she understands, she can break free.

And I really love this for her.

As for you, nobody cares. Sort yourself out.

The guy is right: you are ungrateful. Even if it is just 10k gift to show modest appreciation, you can not give to a person that has done so much for you? If she can, he should even lock you up. I hate ungrateful people.
Beerbeer:
Please know what you're saying. I have always been grateful to her for everything she has done. This is the first time I have ever messed up.

You made her realise that she's dealing with the "what did you even do for me" type of siblings. It's not until things go sour for her that she'll realise that her siblings never rated her, it's when things look up for such siblings. It's your types that will turn your backs against her if fortunes were reversed, she did well by keeping a safe distance from you all.

Your mum died and it was your sister that took up the role of sponsoring you not your dad, that means your mum was the financial muscle of your family (nairaland men swear with their lives that Nigerian women bring NOTHING to the table btw). How was she treated? Was she appreciated by your dad and siblings? I'm almost certain your mum died unloved, unappreciated and disregarded by your dad and siblings. Your sister must have seen this and doesn't want to follow her footsteps.
Dominique, you're bigger than this na. Leave it for Jennyclay and co.

So you have a dad and step mother but your sister became the one sponsoring all your education. And after you got a first major job which you didn't even tell her about you did not think to even get her a token gift as appreciation but got those that were no use things. Even gave a church that much as appreciation. No thought to use a part of it to relieve her by helping your other sibling. Even a call to appreciate her will suffice. You are a user and glad she realised that.

Kudos to your amazing sister. The only victim here is herself and the old man she’s supporting. Time for y’all to sit tight and fend for yourself. She’s done enough. Imagine donating 500k to the church. What happened to just paying tithe.

Listen from an elderly person with experience.
You sister has really tried. You suppose to tell her your plans immediately you received that money.
She was there in your life before church. Yes, I know the church gave you the opportunity but adding your sister on the budget if disbursement is very very crucial. Even if she Otedola wife, she deserves even if is 100k from you as your a gratitude. See.. it's important you show appreciation my brother, no matter how small.
Now, what you need to do, try and find her location but never allow her to know you have located her. Buy a living thing like Fowl and Yam and pay her surprise visit. Kneel down and beg her for forgiveness. If possible cry, tell her that you made a horrible mistake for not letting her know your plans and you will not do it again.
My brother who took care of you deserve that from you
Peace
