....


In 2004 my uncle asked i and my brothers what we wanted him to get for us. Being teenagers then we asked for a console game... You won't believe this dude legit sent us a well packaged Family con.. I later sold it for 250 naira to one Wilson guy complete with the pad and infrared gun..


...

Thinking about it now, i feel if we had specified the type of game we wanted him for buy am because dude was rich

yes I was also a teenager in 2004 but you should have just said ps2.cos I remember 2004 I already had a ps1.

shogsman:

You people with your overly right attitude,let me give you and isntance,you have a Samsung s8 and an iPhone 11pro max and you got another 11pro max as a birthday gift ,would you continue to use the 3phone knowing how much it could Fetch you just because you want to prove a point

Please stop explaining your reasons

You owe no one explanations

Well I have one that doesn't stay there but goes there like he's going to market. Thank God, he is the one sponsoring my university school fees. And also upkeep. I'm really grateful to him. Thank you sir

PrimadonnaO:
Electric doll when I was 10...

After that, countless eye masks.

How you?

Socks

lepasharon:

Leave them. Everytime they call their family abroad it's always one issue or the other that involves money. They always make the convo about them.
Never just to say hello.

Lol, don’t mind them. Anyway, Nigeria is very hard and some tell themselves that parting with few dollars/pounds wouldn’t hurt the diasporan.

cenaman:
Even Cotonou na abroad na � � �

even Accra na abroad



na must say person go get abroad relative?

MichaelSokoto:

fixed!

don't thank me, thank God!

Okay... If you say so

Na today, no be when you get person there.

#250,000 naira. The guy is good but his parents are bad. His daddy is my uncle. The guy gave me $ but his parents change it and gave me #250,000 which is below what he sent.

Mine sent invitation letter for I hubby and children and footed d travelling expenses for us all to visit. Sent a big box of new baby clothes when I was expectant years back. Paid fees for study in Canada for me but they no give d visa despite meeting all d requirement.

I get anybody abroad? I beg, make I Waka pass jare!

pocohantas:
Make we start to give them small na. No matter how little. This attitude of always expecting from them is what makes them block our numbers.

Anyway, I really can’t pick out one. I just know I have gotten lots of pleasant surprises from them- by not asking.

Looking at the topic again, they weren’t even RELATIVES. Mostly friends, with the most surprising being from a Nlder.

Gist us about the Nairalander

pocohantas:


Try dey use your brain na.

Na joke I day o, no vex I just wan look for trouble.

Abroad relative ?

What's that ??

SyrusdeHansome:




U don't know me nd I don't know u so ur words doesn't hurt.
It's true that stingy pple defend stinginess.

Not true oh! Most stingy people will tell you they hate stinginess . Very funny!

#2000 only

Mine was £2500. God bless him...

Got my first car with it...

Is South Africa abroad too?

I don't live a life of dependency upon people for material gains. Teach me how to get the money and put me through and I'd be so grateful to you for empowering me.

To expect something from people, expect shit too. Not all people living abroad can be classified as givers, I've realized that UK Nigerian residents are so stingy and too conservative. Expect nothing from them.

Bible. Hanty wuz deported from yankee without her kids and all she see gimme na bible. I wept. She later went back but as is the custom of awa our village folks, she died on the plane. So much for her yeye bible.

lepasharon:


Do you know not all nigerian foods can be gotten in the west?

Not once do these scrounging relatives consider sending fresh produce from Africa

It must have been that easy to send. Though, I agree that people who are getting things from their relatives abroad should also be thinking about how they can make these people feel loved and appreciated

But this topic would have made more sense if you guys asked, as a guy or a lady, what gift(s) have you received from your friend or ibalopọ abroad
