That father breaks my heart. He did everything he could to provide for his extended family, and they treated him like he was a monster and a beggar for needing assistance during a short span of market collapse. Then he paid back everything and gave some extra and they still had the nerve to march to his doorstep with their hands outstretched. That father has done more for his family than anyone ever had any right to expect, but, like the family in Kafka's The Metamorphosis, they grew to expect him to give them whatever they demanded. Mom is a real one, and thank goodness she was willing to stand up to the awful relatives. I hope that the father has the peace he deserves. He's a good man who truly embodied the spirit of looking out for his family, and it's long past time for him to shut his door to the ungrateful.
Seriously. IDK what this theory is called but it's basically the more people get things for free, the less they appreciate it, respect it or take it for granted. It sucks
We pray for people like his Dad and to know his own family couldn’t even see his genuineness is sickening ❤ goes out to him for caring the pain he never caused
The dad was kind but not wise, and that put his own family under threat. If those entitled cousins could have taken the money, they would have. Screw OP and his siblings. Shoutout to the mom who said “if you want to start talking debts you better be sure you have as good of an account as mine”.
@@tedybomber1713In a way I suppose. But his _continued_ contact and constant enabling by his mother, is what rotted him. But that _awful_ dynamic of her clearly resenting him, and him desperately seeking her approval, rots people who are totally raised in poverty _just_ as thoroughly. Of course a 12 yo will absorb the trauma of their upbringing… But I used to work in a rehabilitation facility for teens and young adults, many of whom had survived even more toxic childhoods, but were able to recover. Several of whom I follow on Facebook to this day (almost a decade later) and have accomplished SO much more than we generally let ourselves even hope for while we work with them. Not because we felt it wasn’t possible, but simply because it hurt so much already, to see if someone who was doing so well, fell back into drugs or crime. Or even died, or disappeared all together, as a result of what they were going through. If anything. From my anecdotal experience, the families that had more overall wealth, DID typically end up with better long term results for the kids that ended up at our facility. It just mainly depended on the love and support for them on the outside. But while I would say that _statistically,_ a 12 yo who’s lived through such crap, DEFINITELY has a harder time? It’s not true that they are a lost cause, simply because of what they’ve been through. For most younger age groups, with a proper amount of love and support, them growing into rotted adults is by NO means a given. Thankfully so 😊 Hopefully this doesn’t come off as an over correction. I just knew so many kids at that age that had already internalized this idea that they were already ‘too broken to be worth anything.’ It was so awful to know the pain they felt from that idea, especially after seeing so many times for myself, that it wasn’t even true. 🤍
@@delilahevil5089 Just so you’re aware, the term “location is everything” is a slogan that was used by realtors, property investors, and bankers, to *racially* profile and divide up cities, jurisdictions, and neighborhoods, during later racial segregation eras. They became not able to _legally_ say “This is a white neighborhood, and you’re black, so we won’t be loaning to you.” Or “This neighborhood has a lot of black and brown folks, so as a white family, you shouldn’t live here.” Ergo, this slogan and several like it were created. (ie “location location location” etc) I doubt that’s how you meant it lol. Just figured you might want to know!
“We’re having fun and making content” Yes! Please never change, there is a realness that comes with the entire OKOP family from y’all to us. Keep having fun, and please keep making content!
The first story, the person is Definitely a Nigerian (West African). The fact that he said "Tufiakwa" means that he's Igbo. Shout out to my Igbo brother right there ✊🏼✊🏼
Omg I figured before even getting to that part. Just from the part about taking your extended family through school and the bags of rice. Sounded awfully familiar.
19:00. Wow. Nope, I'd be so done. He could rent a truck, pack up, and leave right now or his stuff can be thrown onto the street. Either way he wouldn't spending another night in my house. He can go live with his mom for all I care and I'd never speak to either ever again. What an ungrateful leeches.
I love John and Riley getting confused by six kids over 20 years.....my dad is the oldest of 10 and is 3 weeks short of being 20 years older than the youngest. And I'm the oldest of three - my sister is 3 years younger than me, but my brother is almost 18 years younger...... I just see it as normal! Ha ha ha
Same-I am the oldest of 9 (Im the reason my parents got married😂), and they had my youngest brother when I was 23 (he’s 36 now)-just regular, no worries….😂
Story 1 is the reason a lot of wealthy people don't go out of their way to help family/friends out because a few bad people take advantage and ruin it for other's. I know without a doubt if I had money my family would turn into monster's.
My ACT’s I got a 35. In my area we didn’t do SAT’s, which I think are harder. But my cousin, the brainiac, got an almost perfect score on the SAT and became a physicist.
We stopped doing SATs after middle school where I'm from. On my ACT I got a 22, but I was on a homebound plan due to my health. I was told I was coming in to fill out some paperwork, and I suddenly hear on the intercom "Seniors report to your advisory class for ACT testing". I had 4 hours of sleep, no breakfast, no study time. Most of my classmates scored lower, but if we had the money I still would've wanted to retake it. 35 is the highest you can get, so to get a 35 means you're most definitely a smartie.
What I learned at church is tithe is 10% of your earnings and a personal choice which goes to some kind of godly service, which can be to the church or to charity or other service to others.
First story: I have a kind hearted husband who will help anyone who asks, and I have had to basically gatekeep him to keep him from being run ragged. Secons story: I did the reverse - I accidentally sent my tithe to my choir. It was easily sorted though - we pay a fee to the choir every semester to cover costs, and it was coming up shortly and the treasurer just marked me as "paid." The church just got their tithe a tiny bit late 😀
It’s insane to me how people can be so entitled and rude when literally I would cry over $4000 dollars and give every bit of gratitude and respect for that. I just could not imagine having such ungrateful family members.
I like to think Riley's mis-sent money was a huge blessing for the person whose account it ended up in. Like he put food on someone's table and kept a roof over their head that month. Probably got some good Karma by not pursuing getting it back
I think you guys are thinking in USD. OP had said the properties both sold in the low 6 figures. I think the dad is probably at like under 5 million. But I think it would translate to like $10-15 mill
First story: I can relate to this so much! I know an entitled lady like this aunt. They think they deserve everything even after being super rude to everyone all the time.
Plot twist he's using all of them to build multiple businesses that he could never do by himself and they're just unwittingly really employees who think they own the business but everything is probably in his name
Anyone who demands 29,000 dollars from me should I ever be so lucky to have that level of stacks I’d say okay and pay them exactly $1 a day so in about 80 years they’ll have the amount in full provided they hold onto their daily allotment
When I was in school we had both of those tests and they were worth 100 points and you needed to take them to graduate. But I lucked out because of COVID. So they couldn't hold them.
Op’s cousins mom definitely had her hooks too deep in him when by the time they picked him up. I’m sure he exhibited some signs that the rest didn’t pick up on but ops mom def did.
Ummm no, you should not give them the money. Because what's going to stop them from coming back and harassing you for more knowing that the first time they asked for money you gave it to them just to shut them up? They know that it was easy the first time, so why wouldn't they come back and demand more money? Even if you tell them this is it do not ask for more go away and leave me alone and stop bugging me That's not going to stop them.*before watching whole story*
My dad's oldest sister is 32 yrs older than him. It wasn't unusual for people to have large families or for women to have both early and late children in their lifetime.
Really upsetting to hear you guys bring politics into your podcast... making that snide remark about how Trump pays people off in the beginning was very distasteful.
@@chubs191 so should we mention how Biden is selling us to China. Or money laundering tax payer money to Ukraine. Or how the bill he signed incarcerated thousands of black Americans. Or how he openly sniffs children and clearly has dementia. I mean what does this have to do with people telling their personal life events. Politics has nothing to do with this channel. Nobody followed this channel because of their one side political views. People follow to hear funny or unfortunate stories.

I’m Southern African, I have an uncle who is like OP’s Dad and the entitlement some family members have for his money is mind boggling.
My granny used to say that helping ungreatful people is like throwing pearls to pigs or pouring water in a basket.

First story sounds like they spoiled him too much. There's a such thing as too nice. It creates people who think everything should be given to them.
Nah he was 12. He was too damaged by that point from his mom. Her resentment seeped into him and turned to entitlement.
Wife nailed it. People feel entitled. Also the nephew is stupid. Location is everything

He also took risks allowing the entitled son moving in becuase if he did commit the murder then he could murder someone in his family

I feel so bad for the dad he did all this for his family and not even a thank you from the family
It’s insane to me how people can be so entitled and rude when literally I would cry over $4000 dollars and give every bit of gratitude and respect for that. I just could not imagine having such ungrateful family members.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 the mom is my hero what a lady 👏
Yaaay perfect timing guys! 🎉🫶🏻♥️😊
The entitled mother and son story made my blood boil.
31:33 no entitled son’s mom that’s talking right now is not the wife’s sister. It is the dad‘s cousin who he always treated like a sister.
I love watching you all every day
Guys please get Riley a sturdier production desk the camera jiggles every time he moves. No judgment😂
I meant to pay my friend back but accidentally sent it to my partner 😅 we have combined finances, so it was whatever, but transfer fees were paid 🤦♀️
First story is saddly common in west african countries. Youll take care of a person your whole life and they treat you back as an enemie
37:45 not only that, would the entitled dude have a working business if it weren’t for the uncle?
Hell no that's exactly what they want. This is exactly what entitled people do.
I like to think Riley's mis-sent money was a huge blessing for the person whose account it ended up in. Like he put food on someone's table and kept a roof over their head that month. Probably got some good Karma by not pursuing getting it back
