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.

Ok eh!!! No wonder... shocked

Another avenue to hate on the 'poor' folks left in Nigeria by those opportuned to have being on the boat

What of those who spend their life savings to put you on that boat


That's where you are wrong! It's the poor folks at home that have a warped mentality that you pick money from the streets of obodo oyinbo(when they are not pickabeau-pun intended) hence their incessant requests.

I remember a gateman we had a long time ago whose son travelled to one of the EU countries, would you believe that just three days after the son departed, papa was already writing letter to him to send money- his siblings school fees are due, his mother's store needs restocking- shoo.

Needless to say the son was deported barely a week later.

During one of my visits home, I was with my friend one day when his mum called. What she said, "didn't she bring anything for us?" I was only a student oooooooo and still had my own family to attend to not to talk of external parties.. I was so pissed .

I think she meant the kids are under 12 years.

That was a kind gesture comming from her part!

My elder bro is a US marine but we d direct family don't stress him at all. In fact my dad has told him not to bother sending a dime or even "wasting" money coming home. Since 2006 he hasn't visited Naija. When he sends he does it big time. But if he sends u a record of mails he receives for assistance u will pity him. Even me who is a private soldier I have seen hell in the hands of friends. My relatives don't even ask for a dime. But friends and classmates are the ones asking. The most recent is a gal who is from a very wealthy family(dads bro was a federal director and dad is an oil big boy) and uses an iPhone6+ but asked me for 3k. So I wonder if she is just greedy.

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

None of these are my problems. The know my parent's numbers.........

Just thinking about it......no one asks me for anything. Na wa oh

Dem think say I be meanie?

I remember when my cousins used to ask when I was a teen......I think message was received. embarassed

I guess these problems are for those who have hungry and low esteemed relatives.
for someone with self respect, and I am not crippled why should I always bother another person?

look at all of dem,shame on all of you complaining,if you notice dey are mostly ibo n few yorubas. Its a culture,some of you were sent abroad by pains frm dose relatives you so despise now,if its so bad out dere y dont you go back to naija?! I have friends dt ar abroad,dia family sold dia lands n even borrowed money to sponsor dem abroad and you hv d effrontery to say dey r disturbin you. Try dt in some families u go see pepper!. That is why i like the edo pple,wateva dey can do,dey will do. Any money i make i will send for my people because you will not live foreva overseas. Even if you die dere na dem go bury u. I know your types complaining,all dis janitors and burger joints workers. Rubbish.
