Some too-quick-to-conclude fellas will shout 'africans are too entitled.' When I play with my nephews and nieces, and juxtapose that with this question, only thing I can come up with is that most people get greedy when they're living outside because they know they don't need anything from folks home. They're not even staying with you so why should they care what you think? Others too are simply greedy from the onset.

My big brother has been in the states less than three years, and he's been so generous to us!

Some are generous and can afford to assist.

Some aren't generous even as they are buoyant.

Yet we have those who are genuinely unable.

There is even the remote case of those who are struggling yet go overboard to help.

Guy, think more of what you can give then, by so doing you will be surprised what you get in return.

Give and it shall be given unto you.

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.

Some people have their spiritual home in their roots.

I know of people who do kpeke in the west, live a spartan life, yet invest in friends, family and properties back home.

I get you but my point is this, when you invest in people back home especially those who are not your primary family ie wife and kids, ur life will always be a struggle in the west, I repeat always be a struggle. have you not heard of people living abroad returning with one suitcase after 40 years with nothing to show for? I have a friend from being 20 years in German after 35 cars he met just one, abeg story plenty

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.
