Openfortruth:You need to confront your brother to clearly understand his perspective on things and also what his expectation of you in this is. Then you can ask for help from your parents or relatives if truly he refuses to help you with this. You have to speak to him about it since it is clearly disturbing. ![]() 4 Likes |

trendyprettygir: Honestly, I feel like shedding tears.. Denying your blood Food....Food? Ordinary Food? I just don't know how some people think. I don't really key into this entitlement mentality bullsh.it, it's just another phrase for pure wickedness..As long as I am well to do financially, I owe my siblings financial stability. What's the essence of having wealth or money if you can't make a change in the lives of your siblings, sibblings who probably can't afford their next meal or a better life. isn't it better to make that person financially stable, empower them so they can cater for themselves and that way, you rid yourselves of envy, jealousy and hatred. 28 Likes 4 Shares |

Openfortruth: My dear, you're actually very right. Don't mind all these fellas saying thrash. Family is born to help each other. Unfortunately it doesn't always happen that way. Please, double up and look for more ways to get money. Beg if you have to... If you can stay alive you can win. However, don't you hate him. He's helped you from the village already, take that as his little help! 6 Likes |

Well, personally I wouldn't do this to anyone talk more of my own blood but everyone is not me and I don't know all the details so I won't judge him. However, let me ask if it was both your arrangements before you came. For now, my sincere advice will be, take everything in good faith, relate with him well, show respect, share whatever you have with him and dont pay him back in his own coin as two wrongs can never make a right, this is not easy to do but trust me, if you can this, it will change alot of things for the better both in your relationship and even in your personal life. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Mindlog:I'm glad u felt his pains. Life is now different from what it used to be. A man must now pick himself up with no hope of being assisted. To think I have lived that way for over 10 years and now realize I owe no one anything, begins to worry me now and I have to repeatedly question this feeling. 1 Like |

The first page of the thread, shows how irresponsible some people are. If the brother couldn’t house him in the first place, he was suppose to tell him to stay back in the village. These are the same men that will squander thousands of Naira on a random girl from Facebook. An older sibling opt to be a leader, a friend, a father, a role model, a pace setter for the younger ones. If you want your junior brother to man up, show him first that you are man enough. The boy is barely 21, no skills yet, no tertiary education , no support from the one he calls brother. And some of you were blaming MOHBAD’s family, most of y’all are worse. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Kobojunkie: I am inclined to agree with you to the extent I would not treat him badly like his brother is presently. He is still lucky to have a roof over his head though! All the time I allowed family members live with ended badly as most do not understand boundaries and tend to have issues,I am likely never going to have a family live with me either now or in the future. I would try make an alternative provision that will not include living in my home. In that regards, I would call him a lucky guy for having a roof over his head. A lot of things must have transpired than the OP is letting on. Life is full of curve balls and he should learn to keep his head down, talk to his brother and I am sure they can work things out. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Some people replied tire me,to be an Elder broda is not a mere title,he supposed to be concerned since you are under his care,even if he doesnt have much,at least he can do the little he can.It is so bad that he does not feel responsible for you.your brother is wrong.The foolish people supporting him are psychos.Even our last born who is 25 and in 300level.i randomly call her to send her money ,airtime or Data.when I was in Naija.i sort her monthly.But now because of some unbalanced things .its random because I sit down and care alot to send her money.odinary indomie ,he cant give you.mtcheeew 13 Likes 1 Share |

Openfortruth: You know what, people learn in different ways Some hard way and some soft ways Your brother maybe the I don't care type of person, so if that's who he is, don't expect much from him You already know that you are not from a rich home, so bear all you have complained of Just bear it if you can and unfortunately hunger is not something one can bear I think you can discuss it with him that you are starving and hear what he will say If his response ate negative, then you are into a big sheet What next, look around if you can see family's who will need you to wash their cloths, especially young guys You go to them, help wash their clothes and dry them in their premises or wherever that is safe, to avoid theft Clean their house and wash their cars, then it on their clothes This can be done on Sundays, forget about what people will say, that's not your business Now The main question I want to ask you is this I hope this is not the person you are expecting to train you in the school, I mean university Because you may face the worst hardship in school if you hope on him 7 Likes 2 Shares |

All this one-sided stories. I would have loved to hear from your brother. You seems entitled, that someone owe you because you're blood relatives. That's a perfect recipe to failure. You'll have to paddle your own ship, and be grateful for little help. 12 Likes 3 Shares |

Stevenbright: I'm the one that clean the house, wash his clothes when I wash my own, fetch water and do anything in the house. Last night, I openly told him I haven't eaten and I'm very hungry. He told me I should bear it till this morning and he dropped N500 for me before he left for work this morning. I don't know if he wasn't even happy about it, he said I should help myself and not expect much from him. 4 Likes 1 Share |

pansophist: Everything is not entitlement sir. I guess if a child complains of hunger, the mother should feel the child feels entitled to her food. I have seen where the elderly ones stand as parents to the young ones in the absence of the real parents. At least this is not going to be for long. I'm making effort to make money and be on my own. I won't expect him to help me again then. If I were in his position, I would do better for my younger one. 7 Likes |

Openfortruth: Ok, I see. He doing what he wants to do. But then you have to appreciate the fact that you have where to stay and ensure you don't nurse any grievance against him. Just continue to manage till you start being able to get something from where you are apprenticing. If where you are learning is a busy place, you can ask your oga to also permit you to do marketing by standing in a strategic location and asking people if they want to repair their phones and any customer that comes through you, your oga should find you small thing to hold body. You can ask him to give you one or two hours for this daily. |

This is basically to say that your brother doesn't have much, and he's pretending to have. He would have come out open and let you know that he is struggling to earn a living. 1 Like |
