Why Do People Living Abroad Rarely Help Their Relations by helpyom(f): 2:10pm On Apr 16, 2017
My mums brother is in Australia for 11yrs a masters holder in an NGO doing well no family member he's helping am a university graduate graduated 2yrs ago and served being doing a menial job as hospital pharmacy assistant i have always wanted to travel to countries like Cananda,Australia,usa,germany but i seem not oppoturned its been my desire to go and study pathology for graduate diploma and Physician Assistant/ immunology & vaccines for masters being that i was frustrated by my Hod then in sch to sleep with him before i could graduate this led ,me graduating with a 3rd class.

i have vision for studies seriously need help nobody to even help me to travel out to achieve this dreams even if it takes me working my ass off for 1/2yrs to send my self to sch there i dont mind,worst is here in Nigeria no work even someone determined to hustle this hard and make the money can't even see any talk of saving i have tried little saving up to 40k just wondering how long its going to take me achieve this dream i intend achieving all these before 30yrs am 26yrs meawhile i got admision at age 19yrs due to all my encounters with my pervert sch lecturer made me graudate at 24.

i cry each night seeing this dreams fade away i have dreams but i can't i don't know where help comes from i wake every night praying and crying to God sometimes i would think no hope on my side.




Edited:
For people bashing at me i accept and ingest all you throw at me you wouldn't know how it feels with the rate of unemployment over here only the poor with such dreams can testify and know how it feels like.

2.I never said money over there falls from the tree or easier thought based on the bills paid over there am all about remembering loved ones at home based on the fact life ain't easy.

3.Brothers and sisters I told u all about my dreams and visions in the research/medical industry my situation sometimes make me cry but I refuse giving up.

Am a 3rd clas graduate of Pharmacology therapeutics by circumstance but with vision and goals.

Prospective visions/goals
Pgd:Pathology /Pharmaceutical Quality assurance
Msc:Immunology & vaccines/Physician Assistant

4.Brothers and sisters talking about me going to Ecowas country am all about those programs and gaining knowledge practically also hustling /working to help my self in school.


I believe it will end in praise for those bashing at me thank you,I hope to be back on this thread in years to appreciate.

FOR 3RD CLASS holders with visions please don't give up.

your uncle is not your father, You don't know what he is facing over there. People will always believe when once you're abroad all is well with you, my advice: Whatever thing your parents can't do for you don't think it's anybody's obligation to do it for you because they also have their own problems.

Just let him be. Some people are lIke that.

But there is a way you can show him something; by being successful. Just pray to God and he will send you a helper.

Hm i live abroad and we tried to bring my brother and nephew to Europe. Both showed laziness and poor interest, expecting everything on a golden plate, even stealing money meant for visapreparations. So we gave up on helping them, cause we struggle here too, only in a different way.

Living in Europa doesn't mean plenty of money to waste.

Self entitlement has robbed a lot of peeps that they only lazy around for so long but only comes to terms when it was too late


talking from experience

My sister be careful about abroad oo so that u won't end up in the hands of human traffickers given that you're female. Continue your justle and look for small scale business to do while you search for employment.

A lot of our brethren over there hide when they meet Nigerians who are on business trip due to the type of job they do.a

Sorry Op, that's life. "Familiarity does not compell mercy". Don't wait for an uncle to help u, you can do it you've got the zeal and determination to succeed. Everything we imagine is real and dreams do come to pass.

Forget, it has become a story. Face your hustle, the little sum you have try and use it to get a passport. Pray to God to pave a way, in no time things will fall in line just don't give up.

Get that "I am entitled" mentality off your head if not you will continue to struggle and not succeed until you take your last breathe.

I am not against family members helping out if they want to and if they don't leave them and find your way.

Your uncle doesn't have to help you. He is not obliged to.

This is why Nigeria is the way it is now. We all believe that the most successful in the family should be able to help others (CARRY THE LOAD OF THE WHOLE FAMILY)-and this mentality of ours kinda leads to laziness because we spend 70% of our time complaining of one family members or the other and 30% looking for a way out. I call it "playing the victim syndrome".

Imagine a case where this uncle of yours did not travel but is in Nigeria suffering with you. What will you do then? your answer is your way out

Stop looking at your uncle for help. FIND YOUR OWN DESTINY

Anyway, what is it exactly you are expecting your uncle to help you with? I mean in your own clear words.

Op I read and read your story and I shake my head. See that's how life is. Try and get your passport and apply for the school you want. After that pray to God for more helper on your behalf. That's how life is. It is only God that will help not man. A lot of people are in your shoes but they didn't give up in their dreams. Move on in your hustle and succeed. It is very challenging but God will make a way when seems there's no way.

She is a citizen in Norway she has been there for 13years now and yes she has built her house.

When the person is your relatives it's somehow difficult to help but if its your biological brother or sister its easier however my sister has tried her best to the extent of renting an apartment for my father's second wife and her children. Like i said it depends on individual families
