Gist us about the Nairalander grin

Lol. A very wonderful person. Sometimes I think I am totally underserving of him. How does a man love you that way, believe and support you- without dating/fcking you.

Maybe he isn’t Nigerian sef. I need to check well.

The truth is that a white man does not spend lavishly, they r more discipline with money than we Africans. They channel their money into more meaningful ventures. Probably more reason why our brothers over there don't like to spend lavishly to impress us over here. They have learn how to be discipline in spending, so, stop complaining that they r stingy.

trying to impress me I mean I worked hard for him without collecting payments, normally what I will charge clients millions for, I don't collect shishi based on brother level, I handle his projects well without ripping him off, though am not his direct engineer but his engineer collects money from me and I and that engineer are not at par so if I try ripping him off which I can never do, engineer will tell him and the engineer dare not try to rip him off.
Or is it when I help him to clear his goods, do you know the stress involved?
So when I say he tries to impress me with meagre I know exactly what I was saying, and believe you me, I have never asked him for anything or any help.

Most of you guys typing this, if you find yourself in the position of living abroad I swear you wont even given person #5.
Sometimes you people thinks as if everything abroad is free or people get monies off the shelf.
If these people keep sending money to you all the way you are typing here , and tomorrow things turn bad for them, you people ll be the first to cast them.
See, people leaving abroad owe you nothing, just like those living in Nigeria doesnt owe you as well.
Ask yourself what have you send to him/her ever since you know that they are living abroad.

Some persons don't give untill you request. Have you requested any thing from him and he denied you? Don't wait until he will gift you just tell him what you want. Ask and it shall be given into you.



Yes bro. Even though I hate asking pple 4 help I recently did that after consulting my parent. After writing my final exams last yr I thought it wise to go and acquire a skill b4 going 4 youth service nd I know it wasn't right to ask my parent 4 the cash because I still have about 5 siblings in the university so it wasn't easy 4 them. I sent him a whatsapp message on the issue. I told him the skill I wanted to acquire, the cost nd everything. He read the message but never reply. After two weeks I greeted him again on whatsapp, he saw it but never greet back so I gave up. I'm talking of a very famous medical doc here. Has a medical doc wife, medical doc daughter, a two engineer sons. Thank God i have a great uncle in Nigeria who is very good nd generous. He's an amazing man

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.

SILENCE !!!

thats the best gift i have received.

oga you sound stupid sincerely, when people do things for you, try appreciating them expecially when they go all out for you. It makes dem willing to do more.
Your quote even sound stupid and unreasonable.. So u mean if I risk my life for u, I shouldn't expect something in return for hard work? If it was easy, he should shuttle BTW UK and Nigeria to complete his task now oswo

So you can charge your family members for a job to be done?

Wrong question.
Why would you ask people this kind of question
The purpose I don't know.
To compare or to brag or what exactly.
These are personal things to individual na.
Why would you want people to share this online like there is an important value to it.
Anyone who answer this question has no value.

All the senseless idiots ranting and asking "what did we give relatives abroad" did you consider that everything works abroad and virtually nothing works in Nigeria.

Relatives abroad are not worried about Electricity cos they have it round the clock.

If Nigeria has a fraction of basic amenities and employment then I'm sure nobody will ask a dime from relatives abroad.
