If you are the poorest amongst your siblings or not doing well financially, avoid family gatherings until you have money - Nigerian lady says

Lolo Nneka Obani Wrote on her Wall:


If you know you are the poorest amongst yoursiblings or you aren't doing well financially, l recommend that you avoid family occasions or gatherings until you have money. If you must attend, kindly sit at a corner like a visitor.
Let the people that are serving the food and souvenir serve you like one of the guests, so you don't end up embarrassing yourself.
Do not go close to where the food and drinks are being served, sit at a corner and observe. Stop setting yourself up for insults.

May God enrich our pocket

Omo i don see shege banza i am the eldest and poorest, good abeg ooo, the fight we had few days ago was that my mum respect them more than me, na today my papa settle the fight

Very very rare here. Neighbors won't even see the family in a good light if they get to know the eldest,even any of the siblings got disrespected because of poor status

Not all families please.

Dis is wrong

K

Avoid and remain poor na..

You think anything on earth beats human resource and quality of relationships you have with other people

You think someone that is termed "poor" because he or she doesn't have money don't have other ways they are indispensable

There are problems money cannot and won't solve..quality relationship can do.

If you think you are poor...make sure you are useful in other ways...with that, luck and fortune can smile on you

Which kin family be that?

Women always want to make everything about money.

Some people will be surprised that there are families that would treat their siblings this bad...


But we all this to be true and some siblings compete within themselves. Especially homes where a mother would love one child against the other.


This also happens amongst uncles and aunts.

I was opportune to meet a family where these guys live like a family. The guy's uncle stays abroad and he visits the man's house from school and the other cousins where there. This uncle returned and dashed them dollars. Omo the uncle wasn't bossy at all...

But I know people who's uncles will use police to arrest their nieces and nephews for being too free around them.

Than you no get siblings be that O! You can hardly tell who is rich or poor among some siblings during family events. The senior will always be the senior and the junior will always be the junior

No condition is permanent as long as you don't quit moving , if na to crawl ,just don't stop moving.....

If you no get money, hide your face

Lmao

Happy New Year Everyone!

Back on the topic

Call me a Taurus! Its not personal. As a Taurean, been around people a lot is too stimulating. We like to stay on our own & in what we define as a luxurious comfort. We believe if you know everything , where lies the mystery or the rarity of our being! You see 💁💁💁

Nothing concern me but E dey mind


Happy new year Nairalanders

LoL

Na who no get hope of making it go dey hide face. Some families got good morals, everything isnt abt money

Only from a dysfunctional home. We each other to progress.

Lol

if you can't be vulnerable, poor in peace among your own family then maybe you need a new family.

This is arrant nonsense!

this clearly shows the type of family that Nneka of a lady is coming from, and this also shows the reason some people engage in some dubious activities in order to make it and make the family proud.

speak for your family alone pls.

egopersonified:
Not all families please.

No mind am.. Just because hers or some1 she knws ain't perfect. She just drop bullshit call am advice.

Everything you read on the Internet na manipulation

Find out now.. Na inside film or inside one quote she read am decide to post. Thats what people do. Dey wont drop all d quote dey stole. Dey will pick the ones dey wanna use to drop points like preachers do

True talk

So true, especially in the SE. Not just among siblings but cousins and extended families. The intimidation no be here o from the super rich siblings. The competition and show-offs too much. I pity those struggling in the midst of their wealthy siblings and cousins. To talk or contribute in family gatherings is always difficult. For the married ones, the pressure from their wives increases when the wife sees what Oga's siblings and cousins are doing for their wives and children. May God prosper all men struggling legitimately.

Sad,but true

Even if you are the poorest and you still maintain your dignity but not begging from them, or calling them every minute like a beggar.
Your yes is yes
Your no is no
They will always fear and respect you
