When a man tells you that choosing to buy a dog is better than choosing family, read it two times to understand....
''I spent over £34,000 sending my younger brother to the UK.
I paid his school fees, and he lived in my house for free, with his food and accommodation fully covered. He finished his Master’s programme, moved out, started working, made enough money, and opened a barbing salon with eight chairs in the heart of London.
He has never bought even a loaf of bread for my sons.
He built a house in Nigeria without telling me. He even flew his girlfriend to Spain for her birthday.
One time, I lied that I was broke and asked him to send me £500.
He told me he had used all his money but had ₦1 million he wasn’t using.
I sent him my naira account details.
It has been three months, and he has never replied to that message.
Family is not blood.
Now that I have decided to be wîcked, nobody should blame me.
I have seen all sides of human wickedness.
I have repeatedly told him and other family members that if God had put them in my position, I would still be in the village suffering. The highest they would do is send me $100 and ask me to be grateful.
I have lived the first half of my life for others, and now I have decided to be wicked, selfish, and stingy for myself and my sons.
Humans are terrible. Just buy a dog.”
It's unfortunate how some people treat their benefactors. I hope you won't be labelled as feeling entitled, because that's what people who demand accountability are often called here.
ReplyDeleteWhen you mention those you've helped so much who show no appreciation, people will say you feel entitled. They forget that gratitude is a virtue on its own.

That's human for you. part of the reason i decided not to get married.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm!!!!
DeletePlease rethink
Somebody decided something. You are asking him/her to rethink? Really?
DeleteHow does this work?
@Anonymous don’t mind the pick me. No be only rethink… you think everyone is marriage centered like you.
DeleteAs long as you are happy and fullfil..
DeleteStella, rethink say wetin happen? Everybody will not get married. Deal with it.
DeleteIngratitude is another form of evil.
ReplyDeleteGratitude is everything.
Some people are like that.
ReplyDeleteWhen you show them front hand, they show you back hand .
Do you
Whatever that makes you feel good..
See ehn, 8 out of every 10 you help will surely ignore you when you need their help. It's just life.
ReplyDeleteI served someone for over 7years of my life, risking my life traveling just to make sure his goods were delivered safely. When I needed his help, he ignored. Told me he was driving, till now, he hasn't gotten to his destination.
It's life though
lol @ he hasn’t gotten to his destination
DeleteLol@not gotten to his destination 😂
DeletePinky, his journey still far.
Now Nigerians are appreciating dogs. Now they are understanding why the white man calls a dog a man's best friend.
ReplyDeleteFamily is not blood 💯
ReplyDeleteDo you!
Ours were friends and family, though. But we have all learnt our lessons in our family, and we have all turned wicked. They would ask for our address so they could come and visit us whenever we were in any of their countries for holidays, but we always politely turned down the offer. They tried adding us to the family WhatsApp group, we declined. They called to let us know our names were on the guest lists for weddings, anniversaries, and other important events, and we told them we were indisposed.
ReplyDeleteIn all, that’s why God allowed you to be the giver and not the receiver. He already knew you would suffer if you were in their shoes.
Anyways, Mr. Gaius, welcome to the club.🤝
I like this kind of wickedness. Let everybody stay in their lane.
DeleteThis will be the fate of some family members very soon. Ungrateful lot. I like how God keeps shaming them.
.........that’s why God allowed you to be the giver and not the receiver. He already knew you would suffer if you were in their shoes....... This should be printed, framed and hanged on the wall.
DeleteExactly Sluttychic, just too ungrateful.
DeleteI tell you Zaram, God is always ahead of them
It is well wit u. Forget d bitterness, After all CHRIST was crucified for us... U have given to family, You can now join d Charity ORG.
ReplyDeleteD joy on d faces of d needy gives ur Heart happiness. Na so e be. .BLESS US ALL LORD. WE'RE GRATEFUL N APPRECIATE U..AMEN. CHEERS.
I like the just buy a dog bit...ROTFL
ReplyDeleteJust help people without expecting anything in return.Africans are the most greedy, entitled and envious people I have ever known!
So he should not expect anything from his own blood brother, whom he trained and took care of? Instead of condemning what was wrong , you're blaming him ?
DeleteIt is so sad to say family is no longer blood
ReplyDeleteIt is well with you Mr Gaius
I don't blame you my brother..been there not 10 times..but can I change? I don't understand the kinda heart I have..na so I go fumble not to help again yet my name no change from "charity"🥱
ReplyDeleteWhat An Ingrate Of A Brother
ReplyDeleteNothing Like Gratitude oooo
It Is Well With Him oooo
Hello Iya Boys
It is well
ReplyDeleteIt's well ooooo
DeleteSome people are like that, l learnt my lessons from my parents.
ReplyDeleteIt is well o
This here is the story of so many first sons especially from the igbo tribe and I honestly blame it on some parents. They make it looks like it's the first son's duty to take care of the younger siblings but when the younger siblings stand on their feet, it's all about them.
ReplyDeleteThank God that trend is gradually fading away. Some siblings are so ungrateful.
You're right dear. A young man will be saddled with work that the parents should do. Same with 1st daughters 🙁
DeleteHmmm 🤔🤔🤔
ReplyDeleteHis brother really did him dirty....as in pig mud dirty.
ReplyDeleteI cannot blame you ojare.
Your brother is an ingrate.
ReplyDelete“Humans are terrible, Just buy a dog” …why then did you have sons, are they not human?
The solution is not to be wicked, selfish and stingy…why turn into the character that you clearly despise? Kindness is applied with wisdom, people have been entitled and will continue to be so. Do not let the actions of others push you into a negative space.
Maybe na dis im picture dey prejudice me but I m supporting his brother in this.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't matter how wealthy a person is, if that person paid for a whole master's degree that is so bloody expensive, you should be kissing their feet for the rest of your life. Anybody who secured you a debt-free education should never be forgotten, on top they made sure you had no out of pocket expenses, what kind of brother is that? Taking girlfriend to Spain when he hasn't even taken his brother to a dinner, then denying him a measly 500 pounds. Ingrate is an understatement.
ReplyDeleteThat brother is complete trash, garbage minded human. I'm looking for someone right now to pay off these student loans and sponsor a Master's and brother man is fcking it up for good hearted folks like us who know how we would value and pray night vigils of blessings for our benefactors. He should take his shytty azz on over to his brother's house and apologize for his horrible behaviour then make amends.
Your brother is very wicked. I will not be like him if I were you. We are all different in our personality makeup, if you try to be wicked, God may turn HIS back on you. I will carry on being kind but cautiously like someone up there said. In the last day, when we stand to answer our maker, you have to give account of yourself and no excuses of why you acted the way you did.
ReplyDeleteMy sister paid my school fees and my brother’s school fees when masters in UK were 15k pounds and also give us spending money. She spent over 45k pounds for us.
When we finished and I got married, we paid her back because she borrowed the money from a bank. She also brought my brother to America after his education and got him a good job. My brother also paid back.
When I started working, I asked my sister what she wants. She said Louis Vuitton suitcase and penhaligon perfume. I did not even look back, I got it for her because if not for her, I will still be jobless in Nigeria.
although my sister has her own money but I am always here to support her in everything and I make sure she is aware of that.
