Hello everyone I created a different account for this particular topic...
Pls pardon any incorrect articulation....
I feel there a lot of matured people on family thread that's why am posting it here

Lately I have been trying to deliberate on this matter, but the fact that am still young (17 this year) makes me feel I shouldn't make this decision all by myself...

Anyway it all started back in 2016. After 5 years we landed the shores of Nigeria my dad had a lil problem financially so his brother in-law he helped (when he was still doing well) bought him a clean small vehicle (Nissan almera) brand new which he was using for his business activities...

The car started giving problems in the year 2017.
Then he took it to his mechanic friend to fix, probably after like 1 month the vehicle was still with the mechanic. So on one good day my dad called the mechanic guy to come see him....

To cut the long story short he dashed him..... I witnessed it
I was out of secondary school that time was at home......

Later on after series of down falls on the part of my dad he called the mechanic to request for the vehicle. It went on, the mechanic returned it all fixed up without requesting for a dime...

My dad used the vehicle for some time again, during that period His friend a MAN OF GOD as he would say.
The man of God told him to return the vehicle that his in-law is using it against him spiritually, my dad never thought twice he gave it back to his mechanic friend immediately my mom went out (she was never in support of it).....

That same 2017 my dad fell ill (partial stroke)....
I was with my uncle then...
My mom sold some our properties and we also recieved some aids from family and friends were able to get him out of hospital...
The stroke affected part of his brain....

Late 2018 I went to see him, and most of the time I talked with him he always talks about his vehicle.....

Actually since the mechanic took the vehicle he totally forgot about my dad....
My mom also disturbs him to bring the vehicle back but he said with a sum of 100k he will bring it back....

As the first son.... The zeal to hustle came to me..... I was thinking of a best way to start up as a lad... Then a friend placed a bet for me which was my first time and i got 63k instantly, I invested it in a lil biz in school (I got admission 2018) and it blossomed coupled with my French tutorials......from here i made lots of cash enough to even pay for the vehicle and still have much remains...

So I came up with the question on the title of my topic�.

I honestly don't understand the head or tail of your story.

calgaryFriend:
@Op you need to work on your writing skills, you are still young so I believe you still have the chance to improve.
I'd suggest you read sites like Dailymail.com or cnn for about 1 hour everyday so you can understand the art of articulation.

Having said that, I am not sure if the jazz story is true, yeah I know there is jazz.

I'd suggest you talk to your mom about this and thread carefully with wisdom. You are a young man with so much in front of you, you dont want to get yourself into some things .

I wish you all the best.

but I did not mention anything about jazz

If I where you I will not go close to the car. And stop your gambling habit and do something good with your life

Just thinking aloud.. Assuming it was a landed properties,and it was in the hands of your dad's friend would you have left it?

Even if the "man of God" prophesy that land is not good, that there is a big poison buried in that land, .. Would you have agreed to abandon the land because he said so?

The car belongs to your dad. As a member of the family u have the right to retrieve it if u want..

Everyone must die someday..A life that is full of fear is not a way to live. Having said that , it doesn't mean that u should throw caution to the wind.. In my opinion If u have the money, get your properties back and ask your mother what she thinks u should do with it.

but that was my first and last time....
I don't gamble.... I hustle neat

ireneidiva:

Are you sure you read the story? His father gave out the car twice to the same person. So why should he collect it back?

Richy4:


Trust me I read it perfectly.. Based on that story, Have you considered the reason why the father deemed it necessary to get the car back after the so called first time dash? . Why do u think on his sick bed he's still thinking and mumbling about the car?

How many individuals in their right mind would give out a property like an only functioning car in the family to another when they got none to supplement it, especially when it was used in running day today business..

I still maintain that if the car is special to the Dad, and he ignorantly gave it away due to brain washing; OP should tell the mechanic family friend the circumstances surrounding the car, how special it was for his old man, pay whatever the man said was the costs of fixing it and get it back FULL STOP
