I have no stake in this, and possess absolutely zero interest in embarking on a psycho-philosophical discourse on the concept of suicide.

See as they have been judged by all the comments, nobody wants to listen to their own side of the story, what if they are telling the truth, una dey here dey shout kill, castrate, amputate... This na the same people wey go complain if Sars harass them, we all know Nigerian police.. My take is, what if, just what if they are both saying the truth?

Family / Re: My Sister Got Married Without My Knowledge -- Now They Need Me To Mediate by swazpedro(m): 10:48pm On Apr 06, 2018
KOPT33:
I am the first son of my father who is now late.

When my father died some 11 years ago, I relocated to Lagos to finish my schooling. I lived with my aunt then but I had to leave their home because I was being abused. Upon leaving my aunt's house, things became so difficult for me but I persevered with my education till I finished my bachelors.

During my lean years, I fell out with most of my family members. My mom refused to speak to me for three years, I was essentially the outcast of the family. During this period, my mom and some elders in our family gave out my sisters hand in marriage.

The couple had a trad/white wedding. Bride price was paid, all the customs of our people were followed save for one: the consent or knowledge of the first son. I wouldn't get to hear about this marriage until six months later. That night, I cried because their action proved that I was nobody, a nothing to my mom and siblings.

Anyways, I kept on working hard and soon became comfortable. I mended fences with everyone in my family, but even at that, no one offered an explanation why things unfolded the way it did or an apology. I didn't make any noise, I just picked up myself and moved on after committing the lessons learned to mind.

Six years and two children later, my sisters marriage has hit the rocks.

Now they're asking me as the first born to mediate and talk to the man.

I REFUSED.

The man (sister's husband) won't speak to my mom or the other elders he had been dealing with regarding a possible reconciliation. My family know me to be a good mediator and peace maker and they are not wrong.

I refused because there is no point mediating in a marriage that was done over my head.

As it stands now, I have no interest in playing head of house or anything of such nature. I send money, I help make connections, I foot bills for everyone in the family but I leave their decision making to them since they discounted me right from the very beginning. I have no interest whatsoever in becoming a leader in that family.

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

The true meaning of forgiveness is doing what you would have done, if the incident didn't happen, I you have truly forgotten the past, then mediate and let everything be like it didn't happen, I feel your pain though
