amazinghands:
I relocated to the United States about eight years ago. My relationship with my dad has been strained and continues to deteriorate.

Background:
I grew up in a lower-middle-class family with both my mom and dad working hard. Everything changed when my dad started earning significant money. His newfound wealth led to a lifestyle filled with parties, women, and alcohol (to be fair, he earned his money, so he had the right to spend it as he pleased). He built a hotel and was barely home afterward.

2010:
While I was in college, I wanted to leave Nigeria due to the incessant ASUU strikes. I told my dad I wanted to study abroad. Initially, he agreed and gave me the funds to start the process. I was admitted to a school in Ukraine and secured a visa, but he later said he couldn’t afford to send me abroad. This decision felt contradictory, as his lifestyle said otherwise. (To be fair, it’s his money, and he has the right to decide how to spend it.)

2016:
I got admitted to a master’s program in the U.S. and approached my dad for help again. He told me to "cut my coat according to my size" and said he couldn’t sell any of his properties for the sake of a child studying abroad. (Again, to be fair, he was right—he had already paid for my college tuition in Nigeria.) Around the same time, he married another wife.

On the other hand, my mom sold her only piece of land and some jewelry to give me half of my first semester's tuition. After involving family members, my dad reluctantly gave me ₦400,000, stating that was all he could afford. I thanked him for the support.

Fast Forward to Today:
I struggled and worked odd jobs to make ends meet, determined never to ask him for help again. Over time, I’ve become financially stable, secured a good job, and am now a permanent resident. I give my dad a monthly allowance and occasionally send more during festive seasons. My mom, on the other hand, gets spoiled with gifts, extra money, and I’ve even invited her to visit and spend time with me in the U.S.

Now, my dad is broke and has suggested I buy him a car and increase what I do for him, despite the fact that my parents are separated and he currently lives with his second wife. I’ve told myself I won’t go above and beyond for him, especially since he chose to prioritize his lifestyle and the new wife (who came with a stepson). I find it hard to reconcile his past decisions with his current expectations.

Am I in the wrong here?

DyshApp:
The "japa" movement has inspired many Nigerians to seek opportunities abroad, especially in the US, UK, and Canada. While adjusting to life overseas, they often miss the tastes of home, creating demand for authentic Nigerian foods. Nigerian cuisine, loved for its rich flavors, appeals to both Nigerians abroad and food enthusiasts. As demand grows for Nigerian ingredients, here are foods worth exporting:

Yam Flour
Yam flour, created by drying and grinding yams, is essential in Nigerian cuisine, particularly for preparing Amala, a cherished staple often paired with traditional Nigerian soups. It's light, has a long shelf life, and is naturally gluten-free, making it appealing to health- conscious consumers globally.

For export, ensure your yam flour is packaged and processed according to international standards. Highlight its gluten-free quality to attract both African and international customers.

Palm Oil
Palm oil plays a crucial role in many West African dishes, delivering a distinct, authentic flavour that's difficult to substitute. Beyond cooking, it's also commonly found in cosmetics and wellness products. Nigerian palm oil, when sustainably and ethically sourced, holds strong appeal in Western markets.

Ensure that your palm oil is certified as sustainably sourced, as environmental considerations are increasingly important to Western consumers. Additionally, make sure it meets FDA and EU regulatory standards for successful export.
