Common Problems Nigerians Living Abroad Face From Relatives by tzoracle: 11:04pm On Jan 21, 2015 |
When by chance you happen to make your way out of nigeria and start to make a living abroad some relatives of yours make life not one to be enjoyed here are some of the common ones Letter of invitation: if you per chance become a full citizen you become inundated with lots of requests. Everyone wants a letter of invitation. Finance: This is the most annoying. Everybody expects you to be super rich once you live abroad,you keep being asked for money for saundry things that could well have easily been taking care of without your knowledge. Take for instance if you live in america and you earn 700$ a week after paying all your bills and sending money home you have very little savings,you can't afford luxury things for yourself Spiritual attacks (winch) Like m.I says 'bad belle is allowed' but the one from people in the villa is too much. Most people won't live and let live they keep looking for whose life to destroy.once you go abroad even if your a janitor who barely makes a living they still send bullets to u Gift: when during xmas period you see a black person carrying a lot of gifts in his/her trolley that person is probably a nigerian. You buy things for everybody ranging from your siblings to your father's nephew's cousin's sister's stepson's gateman. Everybody must get something or the person woulrd start to spew trash about you These are some of the ones I know of if you have ever been in this position feel free to add yours 47 Likes 3 Shares |

every tom dick and harry will ask for money. even people who have never talked to you will email a list of things you should send to them. relatives you never knew exist will tell you how they are entitled to some ridiculous amount of dollars from you monthly. why, "na dem train your papa for secondary school" your immediate family nko? they will go and collect gbese to pose all in your name... "my broad dey yankee, e go soon send me dollars now now. no worry I go pay" which way naija? 22 Likes 2 Shares |

When you take out a personal loan from bank just to go home for a couple of weeks, what do you expect people to think. I don't have such problem cos I'm almost invisible when I go home. Have sketchy schedule and disappear as unannounced as you came in. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

One thing I have come to understand about needy people is that they are generally good in receiving than giving . Ingratitude and sense of entitlement is their hallmark . More so , they are also insatiable . Meanwhile , to every giver out there , take solace in the fact that " the hand of a giver is always on top " ... To the both parties I say " it is good to be a cheerful giver and grateful receiver " . 30 Likes 2 Shares |
