PLEASE THIS WILL BE A LONG READ

Today 19th November, 2019 is a day I will never ever forget. We were just evicted from our flat by my dad's siblings. The money used in building this house we are living in, was from my dad and his younger sister the Ada(First daughter). He put in his money because she was complaining that she had no money to complete the building of the house. Because of this same house, I was chased out of school in 2008 for the first time in my life cause of school fees (a year I will never forget). My dad had the money to pay my fees but instead he channeled it to building the house. My dad's siblings that are against him now were trained by my dad upon he's not the first son. The first son claimed he is born again just to run away from family responsibilities leaving all on my dad. Through my dad's connections when he was working at NITEL he helped his sister to travel abroad, the USA to be precise. His last born was able to get the links to travel the the UK because of my dad's connections back then. My dad also sold his car to be able to pay for the house and help his siblings while we his children were neglected. My mum bore most of the burden of our upbringing. All his siblings stayed with us in our two bedroom flat that some people even began asking my dad if he is the first son; my mum with her open door policy let the crowd stay which is something that most women will never do. Whenever his siblings needed anything, and we needed something from school, he will choose to spend on his siblings over us. Most people my parents helped testified to my parents' kindness and always told us to emulate them but I received a big shock when the so called siblings turned against him biting the finger that fed them. Upon my dad contributed to the building of this house both time wise and monetary wise, he never registered this house in both his name and that of his sister's together. He registered the house only in his sister's name because he wasn't concerned about possessing the property; he just saw it as a good thing he's doing for his blood. When the tenants pay the rent, my dad never used the money for our upkeep even when we needed to buy stuffs in school, he kept saying he won't touch the rent monies as he wants to send it all to his sister and that he did. My mum borrowed money from different people just to put me through the university; Madonna university to be precise with their expensive school fees.
This problem we are facing now started when his other younger sister wanted to put her son in Madonna university then she saw the school fees and I have a feeling that she began to reason that my dad was using her elder sister's money to train me in school which is a lie because my dad became the caretaker of the house officially in 2014 after I had graduated and we moved into the house same year. She then instigated her elder sister that owns the house to begin the fight against my dad, when that was not enough, she contacted all her siblings so they can fight against my dad at the same time. Now it is 8 against one (my Grandma gave birth to 9 children). During the course of this problem, my dad wrote a letter to them reminding them of all the good he did to them and asking for their reasons of turning against him. This had been going on for some months. I just received the shock of my life today when some repo people came with a court order to throw us out of the house. As I'm typing this we are outside and most of our load is outside. No place to stay at the moment. Also the repo people didn't allow my dad to take his documents as evidence that his money entered the building of this house. Man's injustice to man. My dad never bothered to claim this house. But his kindness has been used against him.
Also there was something that happened some weeks back, his younger sister that stared this whole saga brought one of these new generation pastors and poured oil around the house and poured the bulk of it at our door. We woke up the next morning to see huge oil splashed at our door and the door of other tenants but the bulk of the oil was at our door. They don't know that something like this can cause someone to sue them to court because that is a suspicious activity but being in Nigeria, they feel it is right.
To be honest I don't even know whether his siblings did juju on him because they way he acted then was abnormal; nuclear family neglected, extended family not neglected.


Please the lawyers on this platform or any other experienced person, I need your advice on the best approach to remedy this situation?

P.S: I don't know if this is the right place to put this thread though.
