His Wife & Children Mistreated Him. He Secretly Sold His House & Left Them by ariesbull(op): 9:51am On May 03
Is What This Man Did Okay? Is It Right ?

This retired civil servant in Abuja sold his family house without telling his wife or children.

Months before anyone suspected anything, the original house documents had already been quietly moved out of the house for safekeeping.

So when strangers eventually showed up for inspection, it had already gone too far to reverse.

That house wasn’t inherited. It came from years of deductions, years of sacrifice, living inside one of those government quarters that were later sold to occupants.

But retirement changed the balance of power inside the house.

His wife controlled most decisions, and gradually the children adopted her tone until the man who paid for the roof over their heads became almost invisible inside it.

He said there was even a period he fell seriously sick and nobody asked if he had eaten before leaving the house each morning.

Around that same period, his entire gratuity was taken to fund a family business. It was supposed to help everyone. It collapsed before one year.

That was when the quiet planning began. Not loudly, not emotionally but silently. He decided he would rather start life again alone than remain in a house where he felt unwanted.

Months later, the house was sold privately for 90 million.

A smaller house in a quiet suburb was purchased for 18 million, and the rest was secured quietly.

At home, nothing looked suspicious. No arguments, no sudden tension.

Weeks before leaving, clothes were gradually packed under the excuse of sending them to the dry cleaner.

Then one day, he travelled for what was described as a consultancy job. He never returned to that house again.

The truth surfaced the day the new owner sent people to inspect it.

Panic started immediately, his children that haven't checked on him since he travelled started calling nonstop, asking what was going on. That was when he confirmed it himself.

Yes, the house had been sold. By then, nothing could be undone.

Attempts were made to trace his new location, but he had already moved carefully and deliberately.
He said something that stayed with me since I heard the story:

“I didn’t abandon my family… I simply inherited myself before they buried me alive."

Strategic move.
Applaudable.

If he had died suffering in silence, they wouldn't waste time in selling the house, and fighting over the proceeds.

Sold a house in Abuja for N90m?

Standalone house? In a city where a single flat in a block of flats can go for N140m)?

Okay. Maybe na Kubwa. No wahala.

Where will he get a "smaller" house for N18m, tori olorun? Nwhere in Abuja, sha.....maybe in his village.
Re: His Wife & Children Mistreated Him. He Secretly Sold His House & Left Them by GodCovenant(m):
The funny thing that money will still finish. 90m nor be money again oh

Even if he burns 500k every months on a lowkey. Within a years 6-8m done walker.

Business na 50/50. Thank God he invested in business before which collapsed.

So the chance for him to go brake in the next 6-10 years is very high.

He should at least buy another one very quickly like 30m for the family while he marry another single mother to manage life together.

Many Nigerian women have used their own hands to destroy their family.
Their Children will hate them for all they did and how they misled them sometimes in the future.
I don't blame the man.
Peace of Mind is priceless.
Re: His Wife & Children Mistreated Him. He Secretly Sold His House & Left Them by dgr8truth(m): 10:10am On May 07
I support the man’s decision. A father who made countless sacrifices for his family, fought thousands of battles on their behalf, and dedicated his life to making things easier for them should never be neglected simply because retirement has reduced the flow of money.

If I were in his position, I would invest the remaining money in a mutual fund and live a modest lifestyle from the interest and appreciation of the investment.

We should always remain grateful to those who made life easier for us.

I still feel guilty that my own father, who sacrificed so much for me, did not live long enough to enjoy the fruits of his labour, while some ungrateful wives and children toy with the very people who sacrificed everything for them.

I wish one man I and my uncle gave this advice took it. There was a popular man in my estate in Lagos, his house is on two plots of land.

One day he came to borrow 20k from my uncle as he was sick and needed to go to hospital. My uncle gave him the money and told him not to bother returning as they were good friends. My uncle and I also advised him to sale a plot of land from that his property and use it to take good care of himself as he needed serious medical attention. The man refused saying he is leaving it for his wife and children. Some months later the man died.

Just last month, somebody told me that the wife and kids have sold a part of that land the man refused to sale and use to take care of himself

Sunnyvilla anywhere U are just know that they have sold the land you refused to sale for proper treatment against our advise
