The reality is that, you may not be a yahoo boy, but probably behaving like one. Your uncle statement wouldn't have pained you to that extent since you were innocent.

What you did is totally wrong, your uncle saw how frightened you were in the meeting, that was probably the reason he followed you outside. Just start behaving well, dress like a responsible adult and most importantly, relocate to a more Liberal neighbourhood where people understand the difference between yahoo and earning legitimately online.

I literally ran away from my compound, I neva fear oracle reach that level, I ran away, he chased me outside and resumed, why do I even reply people like you sef, did you read anything at all or comprehension is the problem here.

wamide042:
So why did you pick offence when he started talking about ‘Yahoo boys’. If you aren’t one then you shouldn’t be bothered. Then from your write up it’s obvious that you’re kinda rude in some ways.
Your uncle has been intoxicated hence the reason why he was saying all those things, the funny thing is when he’s normal he might not remember saying those stuffs, but you as a person you’re just a Rude, Proud and Mannerless guy. Na your type go dey beat woman and even collect things you buy for her during arguments.

I was intoxicated too, c'est fini, weyrey.

qtx:
Omo, your pupsy still dey alive? hmmmmm, i no know wetin i go talk. it looks like his analysis of Yahoo Boys first of all hit you. Your reaction was not mostly because he hit you at the back but what he started talking initially when he saw you. But a clear conscience, they say, fears no accusation. By the way, that aside, let's assume after you slapped him and he fell and passed away, what do you think would have happened? I expect you should be more enlightened than those kinds of people in the village. They may not be healthy enough to take such a strong slap from you. All this me I am short-tempered things omo, i don see person wei na just slap she give person the girl passed and she has been in prison for murder. Sometimes wisdom is better than power. Run, run and run. My take. It doesn't make you a coward, bro; it makes you wise. After all, if you want to show you are brave, not with your uncle. Bandits dey there.

Now ask yourself what if I fell down and died as well, I guess the drunk would have gotten a medal of honor alongside people like you who knows everything.

Dijita:
You are young and prideful. When you grow older and learn your mistake, I hope you will have the humility to apologise to your uncle or his children.
It is ok to make mistake because of one's personality. It is human to err and divine to forgive. In your own case, you fail to admit your mistake but justifying your action. Self reflection and regulation is the bedrock of emotional intelligence.
Today, you are self sufficient and your uncle is a "drunken fool" that did not worth your respect. An adage says " we have seen the prince that becomes slave and bonded man that becomes chief". A word they say is enough for the wise that is surely wise.

STFU BRO, JUST SHUT IT.

BigCowHornn:
What you did will tarnish your image in that family for a long time

the family that is immensely helpful I need them to live abi, advice full ground but shishi they no go contribute to your life.

dettolgel:
A times not responding with violence is an act of bravery not cowardice. You alone knows that one or one you can deal with him. Ignoring him shows strength rather than weakness.

Imagine if a toddler ran towards you and hit you, you probably will frown at the toddler and wouldn't hit back not because you are a whimp but because you understand the power disparity.

You speak of him being have an entitled mentality towards respect, you mentioning more than once how he didn't contribute a penny towards your upbringing sounds also like an entitlement mentality, I am just saying.

And leaving where he stood and was making a phul of himself wasn't ignoring him enough, it's a mistake being born in Africa honestly cuz the way una dey reason dey muzz me, for me to avoid someone and leave him where he's making a jest of me, he still chased me outside, at this point it's better I talk to cow head cuz this thickness no be here, nothing fit enter una head.

lezz:
Truly your uncle is entitled and very wrong. But a slap in the back by an elder is like a spank and not a slap.

But you seem very hurt by his indirect accusations . Are you a Yahoo boy?

What if I am? Why is he pained to the point of hitting me and making snide remarks, am I the reason why he can't afford basic necessities he has to depend on free beer? Isn't it jealousy to look at someone condescendingly and conclude that the reason they're living fine is because they're into fraud? Make everybody dey suffer before they fit consider that person as someone who's diligently working for his money? It's not my fault that he's not living fine, I work for my money fraud or not, it shouldn't be his headache don't you think?

12345baba:
U are sooo wrong, what if he had died after the slap omo u future done end o. U for just lash am with tongue leave dey go ur way.

I could've died too as he slapped me, but that doesn't matter because he's an uncle, a drunk uncle knows best.

DeclanR:
Guy, with this your mindset, I won't be surprised if u get stucked later in life.
You are ill-mannered and uncultured.
Your nephew will do same to you someday

Lol Una too mumu I swear, try leave that tiny village that is your world and go outside, you won't misbehave anyhow under the guise of culture and they'll do you someday, you'll land in jail for small reason due to ignorance.

Mcslize:
I don't believe he slapped you at the back. He may have probably tapped you at the back, coupled with the fact that you were already angry, that was an opportunity for you to land him a slap.

My instincts told me he didn't slap you but tapped you. The tap may have been a bit more than normal. You were already angry before due to all that he said, you used that opportunity to get back at him.

Don't ask how I knew.

Ehn you were there na, infact you had a front row seat to his show called alchemy of shame, that's how you knew so well he didn't slap me, mumu.

Mcslize:
He didn't hit you. He tapped you. There is difference between hitting someone outrightly for no reason and someone tapping you from behind.

The tap may have felt like a slap. But it was not. You were already angry with him. That was an opportunity to get at him using slap as an excuse. Say the truth.

Let me advise you. Better go and apologize to that man. Don't bring unnecessary curses to your life.

If you like don't take this advice. Buy a wine and go and apologize and ask him to pray for you after accepting your apology.

The consequences of things like these are always brutal in the future. But you can overlook this advice and act woke. But don't forget we are in Africa.

When your problems will start you won't remember that it's an elder you slapped long time ago. That's how nature works.

How did you get to know he didn't hit me he tap me genius, it's like you be Merlin cuz you sounded like you were there, so wise like merlin.

Lexzeey:
I owe him respect because? And whatever reason you can come up with, ask yourself don't I deserve to be respected as well? Since I owe him respect, who do Una this thing.

You said it yourself that as African one has to respect his elder regardless. No be him bring u to the world dat u should be bitter he didn't help you.

Mcslize:
Don't mind the young man. It's a tap. The moment I started reading his post, I knew it was a tap and not a slap as he claimed.

Mo na leave the young man. Life go humble am. Life has a way of humbling arrogant brats like that. He is a spoiled brat and life will teach him a great lesson in the future that is if he will be alive to tell the story.

Everybody dey advice am but he is still forming capon. He will surely learn the hard way trust karma and nature for this. He is not wiser than those that had walked across the surface of the earth and beyond.

Life always has a way of teaching people like that a big lesson. Mo na leave am.

I pray I learn the hard way teacher, if I no learn quick abeg carry gun and ensure I do.

saphiere:

And as no be him bring me as well why is he bitter I'm living a certain way, did he merit anything regarding me that is due for harvest? And did I owe him anything as a result? He shouldn't be bitter as well about greeting and respect, no be me bring am come the world as well, your one sided assessment makes me question your sanity.

Britishpea:
Lol. Na the same blood dey run from una body. He slapped you and you slapped am back. Na family blood. Slapping na water!!! U wey u suppose greet am when he slapped and accused you. U for just warn am after you don greet am never to slap you again with a very strong voice.

exactly bro, it is better to issue a stern especially where people will witness the warning and call him to order rather than hitting the poor drunk man who is not in his right senses.

StillDtruth:
I think you are a very bad person but you just hide it by staying away from people, hence why you are an introvert.

You feel because you have gone through sh.... , then you have a right to behave as you like.

So, your bad nature showed because in spite of your withdrawal, your uncle still came into your personal zone. And so like a cobra in its hole, you just had to spring and bite.

Anyway, just know that another child is going to do it to you

Dumb talk ....another child is free to retaliate as well if assaulted.

ibechris:
Going forward,avoid that ur uncle by all means. U committed a big blunder and such uncles might end up doing u a very strong thing.

U committed an abomination...u didn't slap ur cousin but an uncle. Oga,there is no justifications for this.

If you want to talk a about "culture" then it's a different thing.....but on a normal ground what the uncle did is enough "justification".

kingthreat:
You obviously came here for justification for your act of violence you didn't get in real life. If the man has a son, you have triggered an unnecessary beef.

So what the man did is "Peace" then?.

illicit:
Na lie, u no fit beat ur papa back...

Dont try that here no matter what u smoke

We go join hands beat u like fufu ni and if u dare go to station

The DPO will beat u join

Really ? Are you justifying the wickedness of some irresponsible uncles ? THE TRUTH IS THAT BOTH OF THEM ACTED WRONGLY. NOT JUST THE YOUNG MAN.

this uncles them, u didn't do anything n the want you down, talk more of this one u come slap, better apologise and act like a good boy before they do u bad

Lexzeey:
I could've died too as he slapped me, but that doesn't matter because he's an uncle, a drunk uncle knows best.

but u didn't die. Learn how to control ur temper. This ur experience reminded me of my late brother , always ready to beat any elder that steps on him, e no end well fr am sha cos he died at age 36 leaving 2kids and a wife. Honour ur father and mother so ur days will be long, na my bro case b that. Try dey ignore those elder guys.

I am not about him being bitter that u are successful. My concern is the fact that you didn't greet him. When he patted u at the back or even beat you, u wouldn't have beaten him back

eagleonearth:
You lied. Hitting your uncle or an elder has grim consequences whether they crossed a boundary or not provided it is not self defence. You guys have lost it oo. Chai, where are the values our ancestors upheld?

Which guys lost what and what did they lose? If the culture was as great as you all presume, our country would have been better. I do not subscribe to violence nonetheless; you do not tell people how to react to your actions towards them.

His fighting for what he believed was his right wasn't the cause of his early death. It is unfair on him and his immediate family he left behind to pass such judgment on him.

martinskelly:
➜ I would have used "Some people" instead of "Everyone"…..
➜ but my point is; nigerian law does not always take it's full course regarding the incident between op and his uncle due to the nature of how it happened.
➜ If i may ask; Which law are you even talking gan gan? Is it the Nigerian constitutional law, the police law or the elders of the village traditional law because i don't really get this law thing you just yearn o.
➜ There are things done in the family that stays in the family, no be everything be law na; Somethings are resolved amicably without third party interference.
➜ And if you dig deep you might be surprise to see that this things are not as serious as the Op painted it to be. Now again, has the uncle being assaulting the Op prior to the "slap in the back" or was it just an overwhelmed behavioral act of superiority with the Op. I rest my case.

1. I am not you, so I will stick with using "everyone" in this case.

2. It does not matter your personal opinion on this. What is utmost is that there is a legal code and every citizen is required to, to the best of their ability, abide by it and enforce it where authorized by the law to do so. 🥱🥱

3. Are you merely here to waste your time thinking you waste mine by it? 🥱🥱

4. Are you merely here to waste your time thinking you waste mine by it? 🥱🥱

5. Please endeavor to avoid me with this ridiculous nonsense! 🥱🥱

You are a terrible brother for choosing to sum up your late brother's efforts in possibly standing up against bullies in the way you did here. 🥱🥱🥱

Babalegba:
➜ This kind of talk will not make people respect your parents or whoever brought you up. I'm ashamed on your behalf and I believe you are not from the south west.
➜You don't have a clue what life is about,such things have to happen in order for the human being to build character. Sorry I don't have time for this disgusting matter. I'm fairly certain that the o.p is not from the south west anyway.

Keep your shame for you and your parents, abeg!

If having a clue means reasoning like you and your ilk, I am glad I and my blood refused to tread that path in life. 🥱🥱🥱

u can call me names, that's ur choice u no know story, u physical fight wins all kind of battles. U are wrong for slapping ur uncle whether drunk or sick. And in future u will figure it out.

Wetin concern me...na advice I give am so.

He is wrong that is all.

I know but two wrongs dont make a right

Even students are not encourage to fight teachers even when a teacher beats them
