Ten years is enough time for to have worked hard here and make up for your prodigal life. Maybe you are still into dirty deals.

When half of my neighbors have travelled, I am now left alone in the compound. every year it is only me who remains back, I am ashamed. I can't go home. I offended my family so much.

I was deported from South Africa for drug trafficking, my father spent all his life saving to send me abroad, I went there to do drugs,

Now I have my freedom, but my heart remains in chain, seeing my family struggling financially because of me and the failed investment on me. I am depressed because of this.

I can't call them, I don't know what to do. I may take my life if the emotional torture becomes much.

At the boldfaced, you need to break free from those chains. The past is past. You can never move forward in life if you continue living in the past.

Go home. They are your family. Yes you wronged them but they will forgive you. That's the only way you can move forward in life.

Get out of this dark place you are now. You are depressed and thinking of suicide. Dude be a man, man up and face your demons head on. Go home and beg for forgiveness and you will see that instant relief.

Guy they've gone pass that stage... Don't think they are where you left them 10years ago. If you had died they'll still Survive without you. After all people invest millions in business yet it fails. So look at yourself as failed project at the moment. Forgive yourself and move on and Seek forgiveness from your family. Nothing is new under the sun...don't contemplate suicide man!

Confront the fear of them resenting you. Your fears are borne out of superficial indignations, they may be reinforced by the way your family will treat you but they may be wiped clean if they accepts that you're a perfectly flawed man and that you take full blame and responsibilities for your mistakes and you're equally committed to effecting a lifestyle change for the better.

Good luck, if you can still afford TFare, go home now, whether you arrive before Christmas, on Christmas Day or anytime before the festive's period runs out.

Good luck on your reunification with your family! Ga'a n'udo!

I brought this issue to nairaland to straighten out some things, as the first son of the family, I am under immense pressure to defend the tradition of igbo.

my sister wants her Traditional Wedding to happen in the City, I have never seen a city traditional marriage, it sound abnormal to the ear, it seems I am the only stumbling block to this marriage. white wedding can happen in the city but not traditional abi?

truth is that most of our families reside in the city, they grew up in the city, and the cost of logistics is their excuse. please is it right that I should allow this to happen?



This doesn't sound like someone who's not in touch with his family.

If you feel depressed how do you want them to feel. If you feel like taking your life what do you think they ll think of their son las las.
As a father, It's better for me that you are alive and free. I will be depressed learning you are in prison in SA no matter the reason. I will be more depressed to hear you took your own life. I will never forgive me. For failing as a father but I will be happy learning you are free and back to 9ja. I will ne happier to see you back home to start afresh as my son. For my age is fast going.
My son wouldn't you rather come home let's make our live with you in it

Better still tell them a white lie that you were set up and then deported.

You think by killing yourself you spare your family the shame or what? Your family will never forgive you if you kill yourself, at first you disappointed them by selling drugs they regretted sending you there, now what do you think will happen when you kill yourself? Your parents will regret and course the day you where given birth to. You are a man to even admit you your screw up shows you have changed and ready to make things better. My brother stop letting your shame define you the truth is that we have all made our own mistake and moved on this is life. Try and work harder to show yourself approved and worthy before your parents again don't give... Good luck
