This is not the gotcha moment you think it is. It is one thing for your sibling to bail you out or lend you some money once in a blue moon, it is another thing entirely for your young, struggling sibling to start playing the role of a parent while both your parents are still alive and not crippled or bedridden. When this happened, my bro was having his masters in China(funded by the family), making a lot of money and my pure water business was dealing with me. I could have called my parents but that was when I was forming that I wanted to make it on my own without daddy's money so I did not want to ever call my parents for money. My younger bro did not give me the money because my parents were useless and he was the one carrying the responsibility of providing for me, i only asked him because I was too stubborn to call home. N500k might be a big deal for where you come from but from where I come from, if I had called home, I would have gotten ten times that from a man who understood his primary duty as a father. I was simply determined to not call my parents for money. My younger bro was not in his late teens or early twenties, chasing bangers on twitter for Elon's pay to be able to feed in school and then still using the little he was getting paid on twitter to carry the responsibilities of his parents and siblings. He gave from a place of abundance because if for any reason he goes broke, HE CAN ALWAYS CALL HIS PARENTS. The problem you people have is comprehension and you have been blinded so much by the trauma from your poverty that you cannot even see that you are a victim of poor and terrible parenting. Dragging me will not change my stand, it is not your job to raise your parents and your siblings. You are supposed to be a CHILD. If your parents cannot provide stability for you and your siblings, they failed all of you. Whatever circumstances that might have led to their inability to provide does not change the simple fact that they failed in their first and most important duty to their children. If for any reason I cannot comfortably provide for my own children tomorrow, I FAILED THEM. There is no sugarcoating it. Whether life happened to me or not is immaterial, I FAILED THOSE CHILDREN.

If una really know where some of us dey come from, the kind load wey we dey carry for head, the responsibilities wey dey our neck and how hard e be to reach this level, una no go just open mouth talk some kind things. Everything no be for social media. Everything no be couch, TV stand and fine room pictures. Some of us dey sponsor ourselves, support family, pay school fees, take care of parents, settle bills and still dey try build a better life little by little. The fact say my room never look the way you want am make e look no mean say I no dey make progress. The things wey matter to me fit no be the things wey matter to you. Before you judge person from one picture, remember say you no know the full story. You no know where the person start from, wetin him don pass through, and the sacrifices wey him don make to get where him dey today. I no dey compete with anybody. I dey move at my own pace, and I thank God for how far I don come. One love 💙🙌

Yes, parents should have plans for their children. But the reality is that life happens. People lose jobs, businesses fail, sickness comes, and situations change. Nobody forced me to support my family. I do it because I love them and because I can. Taking care of my dad or helping my sister doesn't make me a victim. It makes me responsible. Some of you see family as a burden. I see mine as part of my journey. The money I spend on them is not money wasted. It's one of the investments I'm most proud of. 💙🙌
