What is she going to do with 3 properties? Tell her to sell or rent out two and use the money to support and add to what you send her. Be straightforward and tell her how it is.
Op, you should discuss with your siblings about taking turns to send her a fixed amount of money monthly.

Can relate to this. I have a really nice job and make about a million a month so I give my mum 100k and Dad 50k monthly. But atleast 2wice a year mum will still bring bill of 500k above and its just hard for me to say no. I know my parents really tried to give me a good life - private schools (including England) but sometimes I really feel its too much. I too like this guy has no property whilst mum has about 3 houses in Lagos and dad about same so they are not poor in any way, shape or form.

It's funny how daughters relate with their mums versus sons. Same woman can't blackmail her daughter but will blackmail her son grin OP, it is your fault, ask your wife how she relates to her mum, you need to tell her how it is with you, this is what a daughter will do and the mum will understand, try it

The daughters are women like the mother and know about the manipulation tactic the mum is using. So it's hard for the mum to blackmail or manipulate their daughters the way they do their sons.
It is the same 9months that the mum used to carry both the male and female and the same care and attention. So why do the men feel more indebted to their mums than women. And they say women are more emotional.

Life can be unfair sometimes. Op, how much do you give your dad? You see, it is usually the mother that children remember. I want to advise you to ensure you have your own investment. Believe me, if things turn around negatively, it is the same parent that will say what have you been using all the salary u had been collecting since to do.

If government is not owing your mum salary, I will say that 30k is even much. Please your family is young, build it up first.

they will say its taboo to sell house and it belongs to us in the end. What I give her is enough just need to learn to say no to the extras and thats including aso ebi and random things like that which I even say no to my wife for but when it comes to my mum its always a grumble at first but I change my mind. I don’t let my wife know ofcourse.

I don't send my Dad money, we don't talk and we don't even have a relationship.

OK. it may be complex than we think. But I think you should reconcile with him.He would have been the one to caution your mum.
also investigate if it is not one pastor that is collecting money from your mum
