You disrespected all of them.

There's something called "manner of speech". Work towards getting it.

Learn to chew your words before spitting it out

make I no talk my own experience

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?

To be fair, it's your money. If you decide not to give him, you're not wrong.

How time flies!!

The good old days. She really made my childhood interesting.

I think it was 6pm then. After tales by moonlight, we get ready for family circle, papa ajasco, Fuji house of commotion, heaven's gate, before the 9pm news.

That was when we had good and educative t.v programs

Lawd!! This is savage😂😂😂😂

BlissGod:
You’re just a stupid man, I don’t know you but you Sound like one cocky piece of crap. Your stupid ego will soon scatter your marriage, just 300k that you’re here looking for gratitude a woman that could have lost her life in childbirth or worse.

A woman who has sacrificed her body to give you two kids. You are the problem of your marriage. Imagine using the word taming your wife as if she’s a dog you dey tame. Your wife might be going thru post depression of childbirth. Instead of sorting things out you’re here typing rubbish to talk nonsense about her. So let’s hate her now.

God bless you for this comment. You took it out of my mouth.

Just imagine the nonsense he's talking. You tamed her for life.... You parted with #300k when she was in between life and death bringing your child into this world and so she should be eternally grateful....

People dey truly marry rubbish. Alpha male isonu!

MikeBetty:
where are you from? Are you Igbo to spew this trash? If you are onye Igbo, you deserve 30 lashes. Ifeanyi is not and can never be unisex. Ifeanyi is short name for Ifeanyichukwu. Which woman dey answer Ifeanyichukwu for your village?

See as you just show your ignorance waaaahhh.... Ifeanyi na unisex name oo. Dey check well before you rush to reply person.

It's not the oily face that caused the pimples. I have an oily face too. I have seen men and ladies with oily face and without the pimples. Check what you eat.

For the oil, get a face towel that you can carry about. Use it to wipe your face if the oil is much and you can also buy oil control powder ( it's not only meant for females). It's in a normal long powder container not pancake powder o

Who did we offend in this country?

Hello Kalan, do you have M.ed past questions on Early childhood education?

Thanks

This is Lagos!!

In Lagos, you don't talk to strangers

In public places, you mind your business most especially in a bus.

Learn to keep your opinions to yourself because you don't know who is who. You may start interacting with someone and make a friend or you'll be scammed.

JGirl20:
I need some encouragement people
I'm at that point in my life where nothing seems to be working in my life. Sometimes I feel like giving up and wish this phase of my life can just end already
Someone should please tell me "it's gonna be alright dear"

It will be alright dear. I know it's worse for introvert cos you may not have friends to talk to and those close to you may not understand what you're going through. I'll say lean more on Good.

cheesmooth:

My own introversion ehnnn.... I love my quiet space, I can be indoors for one week and neighbours won't know I'm around. Now that everyone is getting married don't even know where to meet Mr Right or strike up a conversation. It's worrisome
