St_Black: Brimmie , You are damn right men!! Sometimes it really amazes me how Nigerians think. If the reason you don't stray too far from family members is because you don't know "Who Will be Who", then I insist on accusing you of the exact thing you seem to accuse others of. How pathetic we can be as Nigerians! So, you expect that in the future you should be able to curry favour from a family member who probably cheats or perhaps doesn't even cheat their way to fame and fortune? Please stop! "Not knowing who will be who" shouldn't be your slogan when associating with people. Be yourself first 4 Likes |

1. Don't call yourself what you're not. Don't give people back home the impression that you're rich by posting pictures of you standing in front of another person's car on Facebook. 2. Don't burn bridges, but you can block them pending the time; until you're stable. NB: This might cause a long term fight/malice, but trust me once you throw a few thousands at them, they would forget that there was a time you refused to pick their calls. 3. Be sincere with your parents, if you're doing well, let them know, if you're not let them know. 4. Deactivate your Facebook account, use twitter (I am really serious about this) 2 Likes |

A friend and I was chatting with a course mate recently as we haven't seen him in a while and he was almost crying due to stress of the demand from home and school. 2 of his siblings are demanding money for college fees and his parents are also calling for money. He doesn't know what to do. I just listened and asked him to pray over the situation. What I don't understand is if your parents can't afford to send you to school why are you doing jamb? Why not learn a trade? I mean something small for yourself? Why do jamb only for you to start asking others for money? I don't know. |

/ Every Nigerian migrant goes through that. I see it as either family members are ignorant or inherently wicked. Best line of action is call Nigeria with calling cards and make sure they don't have your number for the first 3 years. Else, they will give you hypertension. As a matter of fact, the requests are never ending. What they ask are high end luxury items that the ones they are asking may not even have such as ipad, BB, iphone, etc. Factor in how many people requesting these items from one person. Even if the person na Dangote or Zuckerberg. // |

tpia@: I know from one every second year when he travel home he takes a loan from his bank that everybody in nigeria see how much money he has, that is also the fake way because here in europa nor in america the money grow on the tree or you can pick it up from the street. He want to be the big boy at home and here in europa he live together with 3 in an two room house. |

Brimmie: This is a Fictional Story on what Nigerians in Diaspora faces from their Families and Friends at home. Ayo should come home. Simple. If his family is so wretched that without Ayo nothing else goes on. As have been said by quite a number here, the diasporans are not helping matters. They paint rosy pictures that pass the wrong images to their family members. some of us know how tough it is and and we keep some money aside to help you guys start afresh when you come back during xmas and spend stupidly to impress. Again, it dpeneds on the family's pedigree |
Re: Nigerian In Diaspora Faces Pressures From Home by hardbody: 6:23pm On Nov 01, 2013 |
Fhemmmy: Fhemmy, sometimes you guys are not helping yourselves oo. I sent you a post asking you to inbox me so that i can arrange to get a Lexus GX 450 from your car business, you never borthered to respond. If that is how you carry on with your business, how do you expect to have enough moneyto send to your family here? Just asking |

tpia@: so i should not enjoy my hard-earned money because others are poverty-stricken? if people want to believe money grows on trees, that's their problem. i work hard for money & i deserve to spend as i please. the scenario painted by the OP is just fiction. if ayo can't cope with the demand, he should change jobs or go back to lagos. |
