My sister in Houston just sent me N550,000 for rent. I work in a tax office where the salary is 70k monthly. She has really tried for me, I also got an iphone 7. She sents 70k monthly to augment my salary so at least money won't be a problem.

Move to a cheaper apartment. With 70k income, you need to cut your coat accordingly.
All that extra money she’s putting in your landlord’s pocket could have been better spent on investment for you.

This is the same advice I’d give any relative of mine in your shoes. Unless she’s ready to keep sending you money forever instead of helping you get on your own two feet.

How about what do give to relatives abroad when they come to Nigeria or Send through a friend of theirs ?most times,that little #2000 slippers or even a small Ankara of 2k goes a long way..
Personally,I feel we should try to extend stuffs to them too once in a while..not every time,gimme gimme cheesy..our thoughtfulness can open doors we least expect too..#just saying# lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

That was y i paid for my uncle ticket tro and fro to surprise him and so he will stop seeing my family as beggars when we call him for something that has nothing to do with money

I have received so much from my people in abroad. I can't keep count. He has always been sending to me and my siblings. We have been finding it hard to stand on our feet here. And he supports generously when ever we cry out. May God continue to bless him.

Let me start my own this way, I know in this life nobody owes us anything but that doesn't mean our lives must always be about us and us alone. There's a blessing in giving.

I'm opportune to have an uncle who has stayed in US for more than 20 yrs now. He's a surgeon and one of the best in his field but the biggest gift I've received from him was 800 naira in 2007. Though he use to give me those big bargy trousers once in a while I still see the 8h as his biggest gift to me because trouser no be my problem.

Pls tell me your own.
your own even give you #800. Mine kobo I never get, na last year she remember say I dey exist come dey ask me to send money for asoebi for burial of mama wey die 5years ago. I dey hustle jeje for naija, I no need anybody's gift abeg
