It's true, I know a couple that the marriage broke up because of husband sending money home and telling his wife he doesn't have money. He leaves his wife paying all the bills in the US by herself. The wife got tired and divorced him. Now he has to pay his bills by himself. Let me see how much will remain for him to send home after paying his bills.
Unfortunately, men fault more in this area. I'm not saying that men ain't financially wise or conscious. There is a saying which goes thus. Pay yourself first. As you're thinking about your immediate family... Wife & children, as a man working to sustain the home, you also need to look after your personal self which is yourself & wife for the future. I mean, be responsible towards your children or do your obligations as a father and husband. This same logic should be applied towards extending helping hands to family/ies or been responsible towards them. When the chips are down, very few or none will show up. Yoruba will say "ebi o see duro de beni won se sa fun" meaning you can't run away from or avoid your family neither can you depend on them" Just be sensible. After all, we are all human.
Everyone is selfish. Even those that give, do so for reasons of showing that they can---that feeling of importance. So, being selfish is not bad at all, in fact it is what it is, like the head on everyone's shoulder---cut off selfishness and die. So, be more selfish even in your giving, remembering that those whom you are giving are receiving selfishly. Don't be on the foolish side of the relationship.
If you really appreciate this guy please gather here and be blessed 🙌.my dear the main thing people don't know you cannot solve every body problem .Thanks and remain blessed
@@peteradoga9096 The assumption is, people abroad never received any help? Truth is, some people in Nigeria make more genuine money than people abroad. The attitude that everybody back home is a beggar is wrong. Life must be managed and proper coordination is key
Why do people in Africa automatically think that we are rich just because we live in America. We have poor people here as well. It’s up to that individual to decide if he or she is going to do something to make their lives better and to be able to bless others. Some people try to take advantage of you and wait on you to provide for them instead of making their own money moves.
I stop sending money to my sister when she told me “all your mate abroad has at least two houses” 6 months later she asked me for money I told her I’m building my first house. I learned how to say ‘I don’t have’ believe me they will survive. Only send money when you have money or only for emergencies.
Yes, or if they have real projects and you are sure of their honesty about it. I don't mind helping someone going to school or opening a business there if I can, I prefer this 100 times than paying for someone's life basic stuff like eating, paying the bills which we should all learn to do by ourselves! My god
That person is an in-great I sent $100 dollars and The thank you I received encouraged me a lot. It is good you stop sending money. They think people leaving in America are sweeping money on the streets. 100 dollars is #38,000 and that person did not thank you?? That person got what he or she deserved from you.
🤣🤣Are you telling me? Ask me what happened when I got deported, thank God I had a small house. So I took all my problems in my house and shut the door and cry
@@hadidmusa2837 Lol, those are just assumptions made by people. Not everyone who goes abroad likes showing off. And also if they went abroad for studies, where would they get money for the expensive cars and homes? And if one did buy an expensive home, they'd have somewhere to land, they would not need to trouble people about accomodation. But your advice is sound; one needs to think of themselves 1st.
I live in Ukraine and if I tell you how much I've sent to friends, you'll pity me. My wife(A white lady) told me "You can't be a sun for everyone" After that, I stopped! Few months later I got my first car ever!
*Brother PREACH!!!! Even when I was laid off years ago, all they cared about was how much I could send them. The words "I just lost my job" went in through one ear and came out through the other. Protect yourselves, Brothers and Sisters!*
Drazen Larry; took me forever to understand the “beep”; I used to think the lines just disconnected and would wait for them to call back. I could not stop laughing when my husband told me that meant I had to call them back😂😂😂how ridiculous
I have gone to Europe and back to Nija I can never ask for money from a relative abroad, because I know how difficult it is to get money there. I have always told people the truth, no money abroad.
Boss, I wish I could give you 1million likes. Before I moved to the uk in the 90s I never once asked my brother who already lived in the uk a dime. I just believed it was not his responsibility to take care of me. I decided to take up a labourers job just to get by.
I was making more money when I was in Nigeria than now in abroad. When I say it to people here, they doubt me, but only me know the truth. I left my well paying job in Nigeria for abroad out of ignorance.
Bro ,trying to help 10 poor,you become the 11th .You should help but do not stress yourself if you do not have the means.These people are crafty ,they will drain you then blame you for not achieving much .Very ungrateful lot
@@muzikhumalo9886 that's nothing I was sending every 2weeks 250£ and pay for my brother he was in prison £3000 for solicitors, did he checked on me when I was in hospital for 8 months , nothing not even how are you doing. now what I can say to them fk to them.
The sad thing is that you have to reach out to them to see if they received the money, so ungrateful don’t have the decency to call or text to say thank you. I like this is my job or hobby
I asked one if she got the #50,000 that I send to her, cos I sked her to give #30,000 to my mum and take #20,000 . Then I called her to kno if she gat it and she said to me , I have sent it as you said, meaning that I sopporse to give her 30,000 and give my mum 20,000
@@@ndidionwuzulu1197 you can imagine the level of ingratitude .The most painful part of it they feel you owe them ?The last time I checked no body owes any body anything on Earth .Even our parents what they owe you is the foundation after that they owe you nothing .your survival is between your hard work and God .may God see us tru .Amen
@ peter Adoga, it marvels me at times, I even sent a friend of mine #20,000 which she said she want to add to her business just 2months ago and now she is asking for another help to pay for her daughter 's school fees while she knew very well my mum was not fine as she broke her leg, we're a he do she want me to get it from, they think if you are in America that you plug money from the tree, am not listening to no body
I’m saving this video so I can replay it anytime my hubby wants to send money home to pay someone else’s kids’ school fees. Meanwhile, we are a single income family struggling with bills here and there. Mtchew
Do u think they care , even when u send them money they misuse because they think more is coming , it's the same everywhere. Build a house for them ,when u get home there is no place for u to sleep .
Ifeyinwa Ruth Nnajiofor my sister that’s great truth even last week my best did it to me. I send him 200$ to him the could not even call me to say thank. The only thing I saw from him was this ‘’ thanks bro’’
U keep waiting and wondering if they receive the money yet. Then u get a message from Western Union that money been picked up, but you still waiting for a thank you that never came until next time again a message comes from WhatsApp again, More begging.😆
My wife is upset over me doing this I don’t blame her I have spent Thousands of dollars over the years and yes not a single thank you in return The next time I hear back from them is when school starts So sad
Wow!!!!! This holds so much weight coming from an African. I as an African-American married to a West-African man has said this for years to no avail. I watch how my husband and people from his community put so much pressure on themselves and they wonder why they are not progressing 🤦🏾♀️
@@chakubanga1 no i chanted for peace. If i can have a family that understand money don't grow on trees and the love for me is not conditional, I'll be very happy to have them in my life.
He speaks the whole truth and nothing but the truth. The people you keep sending money to wouldn't bat an eye when you are in dire straits. The reality of their uncaring attitude can hit really hard.
Sarah Ddembe very true and we are busy working our butts out and someone is busy enjoying our sweat we are not even enjoying our money ourselves this must ✋ stop
Preach it brother!!! I'm 🇯🇲, and I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I'm estranged from majority of my relatives because of this situation. Take care of yourself first, because not even your own children that you sacrifice for will be there for you sometimes.
👍100% they are still going to be the ones to laugh if you got no house but you practically sacrificed it all for them. I only send when is necessary to my mom ooh only. Others can kiss the sun.
I am watching this in September 2023 in Canada on the eve of my 60th birthday. This message is so true for me. I spent 6 years sending money home to family and friends and got nothing, NO THING, in return. Not even a handwritten letter. I've eventually stopped all that and focused on myself. If I can't do that then, I'd be a fool at sixty. God forbid. Thank brother for the message. God bless you and increase your wisdom.
Most african diaspora in western countries can truly relate and nod to what you said bro. I am one of those who stress out to dead to support family back home. When I got seriously ill, I never got even a single encouraging words from my older brother to whom I was sending money every month for 4 years. Thank you for this video.
1. Some of you come home to visit and give the guys at home the impression that abroad is heaven. 2. Even when you give them money, they still laugh at you and say your mates are sending more back home. 3. My advice, only your kids back home are worth the sending.
Edward Banjo; correct; I remember when I visited home when I was in college, a cousin of mine labeled me useless for wasting my time in Europe when there Gambians in Germany who are building mega mansions back home. Most of those were drug dealers and are now mostly in jails in Germany or deported back home. Those fools were doing that to impress other fools back home. Sad.
I just started my journey in the USA. Just few month's the whole Nigeria start requesting cash from me .. I felt annoyed cos it is like a spell . No one says hi except they need something
Only my mother was the one who use to say that I don't have money, and people should not ask me money, only my mother she never asked me anything. I just send money to her without asking me, and if I ask her if she has any problem she will always say no am fine darling.
It’s exactly like continuing to supply money to a drug addict, you’re enabling bad behaviour that isn’t appreciated. Feel bad for these families on both ends :(
Truth. I lived in diaspora for 18 years and made permanent enemies. One of them is my very son who will not talk to me or call me mother. I came back over a year ago and we live near each other but never spoken. Why? Because whenever he called out of the blue to ask for huge sums of money and I just did not have it, he got resentful and swore off me. I was so poor while abroad!!! I have forgiven him. But I a, just sharing that the relatives sometimes get really demonic. There are people in diaspora becoming mad to the point of getting into an institution because of relative-related stress from back home. It's so serious the degree of entitlement by relatives is so unreal that people in diaspora at some point go silent and are never heard from. Africans!!! Stop this madness!!!
The problem of needy relatives and friends affect even those holding jobs and living in Africa. You cannot solve everybody's problems. If you are abroad and can afford buy a rental property for your parents so that they can survive on the proceeds. Buy ready houses as opposed to building unless you are very sure of who will handle the project for you. Save something for your retirement, when you can no longer work the long hours. If you are planning to come back home ensure you have a constant source of income. Life is tough these sides and the people you used to assist will avoid you when you have nothing. To all those working hard in foreign countries to help at home we love and appreciate you but please take care of yourselves first. We need you back alive, not in a casket.
A word to the wise...it's not even the lack of appreciating ..u send and they won't even confirm u still have to call and ask..."ulipata" I can't add more to what u have said brother ...u have said it all
Chai! This guy just said it all. When on this earth will relatives back home send money to those in DIASPORA? I said to myself yesterday that am not their ATM.Habaaa !!!! Send money send money send money that's all they know. TUFIAKWA!
I'm African American living in the United States and you speaking real truth. I got tired of always being the giver to my friends so now I'm my own best friend. Seven months ago I broke my ankle and couldn't walk or cook for myself for four months and not one person came to help or inquire to see how I was doing, for a short moment I was sad but learned I am the only one who I can depend on and that's alright with me. When Love for others comes before Self Love your expections will always be shattered. Great video. 👏🏾✌🏾💙
This man is preaching the truth . It gets hard once you are old to work and if you have no savings you are in deep trouble for survival. I sent money to my friend in London like $70 . After receiving the money I was talking to him on phone . The next thing he is like let me break it down . You have to send me more money and this and that . The next thing he did not know what was happening I turned and switched off my phone number. He probably called and called no response I got a new number. I was just annoyed that he was expecting more money from me. No one is giving me any money. Here in the western no one gives money . Once you are broke you have to wait until you secure some money by working and waiting until you get paid. It is also scary.
so true! someone reached out to me yesterday to ask for money and they hadn’t reached out to me in a while. Africans back home pls Africans here go through a lot. just don’t come out of the blues and ask them for money. Africans here pls stop giving people Money back home be wise! thanks for sharing this video ma’am.
Thank you bro. I have been saddened by the treatment of the people I have supported financially back home. And they were the first to laugh that I have not even build a house at home. Those who asked and I said I did not have money, we have become enemies. Our relatives take us for granted. Ask yourself this, if you were the one in need after you return, would the relatives you supported help you? Likely they would laugh at you for having been abroad and came back with nothing. Took long, now I know.
Even though I have not finished watching this video, I choose to type my message because I just finished scolding my elder brother for giving his phone to his under age son to send me a message asking for money. What a hell! How can he be encouraging the kids to become beggars at their age. When you call to check on them, you hear all kinds of money request, buy me this, send me that. Hmmmm. NO! It is wrong I said to him. Thanks bro for sharing your concern. Happy Sunday.
Justina Olaniyi I had to do the same to my older bro. Dude doesn’t have a job, I’m the one financing him and his only daughter, he even wants to have more kids. I told him that’ll be the end of my sending him money
Justina Olaniyi. Pls don't explode. I know it really hots especially when your sibling wants to turn you into a money making machine. Just take it easy and use your number 6 for them.
I just reactivated my personal bank account back home in Africa and every week I make it a point of duty to send money a token into that account, a wise friend advice me, now am smiling each time I look at the balance, be wise people......
You said the truth bro .I remember when I was in Africa. though I usually say hi to my bro but when he usually send me money I took it like nothing till when he finally brought me here in to the usa .I now see his pain his suffering. I will for ever be grateful to him .I pray we make it together. Thanks bro for ur advice .
I live abroad, but my family doesn't disturb me, and they are not rich, just comfortable. I love my family so much. Even I try to send they tell me not to bother, even when I insist they refuse.
The most disgusting is that they eat that money like a dog . Your brother who was a calm man become alcoholic, your father left home is leaving with another woman your mother is seating in church everyday giving everything you send her to the pastor , finally the money you been sending home killed your family was peaceful . Finally you start to think that : they said it . This is blood money ,is evil money, confusion full inside your brain
They take it for granted, that is the problem. We should cut sending money BUT actually do things that can help them get their OWN money, and become independant on their own. I don't believe in sending cash (unless emergency)
it happened to me really bad Sister's brother's and my mother all of them they haven't give me any support after being disabled. this is very sad but God his watching down on me thanks lord Amen.
My 5yrs of hard labour was wasted n wen I was about to home they parted ways living my kids alone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭the pain was unbearable but God will pay me I still believe
Ghana!!! . I studied in Ghana.. I got friends from other African countries, till today, I see +233, +225, +226, +234, +254 all saying send me money.. in life, we cant satisfy anybody. I do not care no more..
Diana care k.c. Are you really sure that you are living in USA. My reason for asking this question is becuse of your bad writing. Why must you be in the river bank and still suffocate out of thirsty. Can't you invest your leisure in a part time education.
The kind of life people back home are living ehnn, they wear nothing but designer, real gold, all expensive stuffs from head to toe. They are more comfortable than us and the major reality is that, they have peace of mind. Nobody is sending them back anywhere. Majority of people in diaspora are not even legal and have no peace of mind. Talk-less of thinking of wearing Prada. The way people work here and the kind of job we do, its crazy, beyond explanation. Who is even talking of savings. And talking about $100 as 5hours of someone’s life. That is if you are working a job of $20 per hour. Majority of people are earning $8, $7 per hour. And sometimes under the table jobs. Its really crazy here. May God bless you for saying this truth. Who sits at home here on public holiday? Work work work. Abeg this video is much needed.
Very true, @ Bookie, they woe an expensive clothes and shoes, one day I peep on Facebook and saw all that I have been sending money to, looking wonderfully nice and me here in my cna uniform day and nite can't even buy nice cloth to church talk more of outing, can't even save little in my account, mehn, we over here gat to think twice, some will even tell you is this little money that you are making noise about, some will say you dnt even call us no more, as if they call you and you did not pick up the call, I mean it is crazy. They want you to do every thing, call, send , care and even bath them, not me. Christmas is now approaching, I will block all even my uncle
This is why I have never fancied living abroad except you have a very good job or profession. If you earn $1k a month in Naija, you can be a big boy: save plenty, build your own house and not die from paying taxes or getting sued over trivial stuffs. In my family we're contented. We don't go begging for money because we all know how extremely difficult it is to live abroad.
They want the latest iPhone even when they don't have a job. Then, u will be sending money home to buy datas and airtime for the phone. That's madness.
I love this brother and I’m an African American who just got out of a relationship with a Nigerian man who was stressing me out because his family was stressing him out
Yes Brother, I really bless my family for this, my mom knows that I don't have so she will even advise me not to send them anything, they can handle themselves, LOVE YOU MUM ❤️
Well said Brother. I'm on this situation ; living in London ; only have box room to live in shared with three others in a small house. Work for 13 days out of every two weeks. Most of my income goes to rent & bills. Rest to send back home. I've nothing to show for all my work after 20 years of working. Just got fought up in that rat race to try to get somewhere in life. Like this video ; thank you for posting. Felt like you was telling my story and many people I know. Time to change!!! Now or never I guess!!! God Bless 🙏🏾
Blessed to have seen this vlog today. I used to send money to a family member. It’s been almost a year since I stopped. I stopped because when I visited my family this year that very same family didn’t even invite me for dinner despite me asking. I would have even brought the food and all she had to do is prepare and share. I wanted to taste home cooking. Not even a bean was shared. That family hasn’t contacted me since I returned to England. Abroad they are better off than me. Living their dream whilst I sacrifice, sending money aboard. Wow this vlog is an inspirational message to money senders like myself. Thank thank
My brother am in Jamaica and I am watching this and everything you said is so true , it’s not just Africa even the Caribbean too may be its black thing ,
A black " thing" but it's got to STOP! It's up to the givers to have courage and get rid of the shame or pressure to send money. As the proverb says, to help a fisherman to fish, u give him a net , not money, buy the net only once , no more, he must survive on that!
The mostly pain is when theirs received the money no call to say yes we received or saying thanks nothing 😭😭 they is no one day their call to check on you never just their call when want a help from you and if you refuse their talk bad on you😭
1 1 Spot on bro. Do you know on my wedding day in Nigeria I still have to provide transportation for my friends to come to the wedding. These are people I have sent $200, $100, on a monthly bases in the past
Nothing like naked truth,,, the beneficiaries should here this n sink it in their mind, people don't pluck money from trees like leaves... God bless you brodah
I just missed this piece after talking to someone who asked me to buy chicken for them, so I came back here to listen to this unlimited wisdom. Africa..... "Wake up motherland" (Bobi Wine)
After I got the courage to say no, now they have stopped calling me or checking on me.... everyone thinks am stingy now but my mind is at peace and I can breathe now.
✋ too almost died of stress but now that I've learned to say no even to my own parents I am gaining sme weight, can you imagine dad called my husband to ask for money when I was just a week in hospital after csection to my son. Almost broke up with husband because of family begging yet we are a young couple very young children thank God they don't call to check on me again I can breath.
Its more blessed to give than to receive..However give with wisdom..Giving to those who are helpless and are in need and are in no way your responsibility brings great blessings... However when giving to relatives and friends back home who feel entitled, remember that they see your giving almost like a right..Apply wisdom in doing so..
The first time I visited home after 3 years in the UK the whole village was asking me for money. I blew £1000 in a week without realising it. Out of all things, people were asking money for alcohol. Now I am a lion when I visit home. I only buy groceries and do a few repairs on the house, that’s all. Anybody who asks me for money gets an insult in their face, followed by an indication that a slap is on the way.
Preach it my brother! Too many ungrateful people among us,and most are blood relatives! This is also a problem in the Caribbean. No need to apologize for speaking the truth! Very profound message indeed! One love..
Very intelligently delivered. Message sent! I approve this message. You cannot give what you don’t have and you cannot take care of someone else when you are sick or dead!
I wish my mom had the same mindset she kept sending money to Kenya while her sisters children were being well taken care of sent to the best schools etc while we were struggling in Europe they have even surpassed her in terms of accomplishment
Jessica, you are wise. Sending money home ruined my mum and dad. He is now in his 70s with nothing to show. I don't know why we black believe it is our responsibility to feed our village.
After you’ve done and done. Just that one time, you decide not to send money just because then here goes the “ are you GOD” no more pim from me to anyone ever again. Let everyone Dey their Dey.
I paid for the masters education for one of my cousins in Ghana. I didn’t know that this guy was using my money to build a house. He went around telling people that I’ve been in America many years but I haven’t been able to build a house :(. The only people I care about now are my parents!
I did that with my brother used me so bad until I was going crazy took my money for partying and woman had about 7kids he wanted me to feed them like I gave brith to them I stop that he does not talk to me now but I don't give a shit so I know what he is talking about
I am a mother myself, I left my kids when they were so young, I thought that the time they will reach their teens I will be done with working. But my dear the people I left my kids with used me like a moop because of my two kids. I use to send money to every kids so that my own kids get better life I couldn't save any money at all. Now my children are grown up, am starting a fresh to do something for myself. But my body is tired I can't work the way I use to work when I was still in UK. 😔😔
My marriage broke cuz my husband wouldn’t stop sending money to Sierra Leone .
So so sad 😩😩
It's true, I know a couple that the marriage broke up because of husband sending money home and telling his wife he doesn't have money. He leaves his wife paying all the bills in the US by herself. The wife got tired and divorced him. Now he has to pay his bills by himself. Let me see how much will remain for him to send home after paying his bills.
Its well
Unfortunately, men fault more in this area. I'm not saying that men ain't financially wise or conscious.
There is a saying which goes thus. Pay yourself first. As you're thinking about your immediate family... Wife & children, as a man working to sustain the home, you also need to look after your personal self which is yourself & wife for the future. I mean, be responsible towards your children or do your obligations as a father and husband.
This same logic should be applied towards extending helping hands to family/ies or been responsible towards them.
When the chips are down, very few or none will show up.
Yoruba will say "ebi o see duro de beni won se sa fun" meaning you can't run away from or avoid your family neither can you depend on them" Just be sensible. After all, we are all human.

Givers should have limits because takers don't...
PREACH!

This man isn’t telling us to become selfish but to have self-awareness.

Everyone is selfish. Even those that give, do so for reasons of showing that they can---that feeling of importance. So, being selfish is not bad at all, in fact it is what it is, like the head on everyone's shoulder---cut off selfishness and die.
So, be more selfish even in your giving, remembering that those whom you are giving are receiving selfishly. Don't be on the foolish side of the relationship.

Emergency will show up!!!

Ah my brother you have said it all!
Some will even ask you,why are you sending $100 instead of $500.
I’ve stopped! I don’t care who or what they say!
That person is an in-great I sent $100 dollars and The thank you I received encouraged me a lot. It is good you stop sending money. They think people leaving in America are sweeping money on the streets. 100 dollars is #38,000 and that person did not thank you?? That person got what he or she deserved from you.
That corroborate my earlier statement that you people send stipends home . Guys keep your money and stop complaining.
Their attitude changes immediately when they hear you're coming home for good. They will not have space in their homes, even for your bags!

@@rosemutonyi4963 wow sorry to hear. Hope you are back on your feet now.
That's why you gotta build your own home first! Before buying expensive cars and expensive homes in hi-class areas. Etc..

Those who clicked “dislike “ are the ones who call their loved ones abroad only when they need money, and would not call to appreciate...
Kingsley, MD;😂😂😂😂true
So true. They even don't call when them need your help, they F**king beep u to call them back
Drazen Larry; took me forever to understand the “beep”; I used to think the lines just disconnected and would wait for them to call back. I could not stop laughing when my husband told me that meant I had to call them back😂😂😂how ridiculous
Yes o
You nailed it the way it is
I have gone to Europe and back to Nija I can never ask for money from a relative abroad, because I know how difficult it is to get money there. I have always told people the truth, no money abroad.
Boss, I wish I could give you 1million likes. Before I moved to the uk in the 90s I never once asked my brother who already lived in the uk a dime. I just believed it was not his responsibility to take care of me. I decided to take up a labourers job just to get by.
No money abroad bro..
Yes no money abroad but bills
I was making more money when I was in Nigeria than now in abroad. When I say it to people here, they doubt me, but only me know the truth. I left my well paying job in Nigeria for abroad out of ignorance.
@ Walter Osadebe I can relate.
It's not only in Africa in the Caribbean too , whenever you can't send money to them they become your enemy.
Truth
That's black people for!
Say it again... They thought we pick them on street
True my dear Caribbean family I fell out with my mom oz she loved money more than me they are heartless bastards
Bro ,trying to help 10 poor,you become the 11th .You should help but do not stress yourself if you do not have the means.These people are crafty ,they will drain you then blame you for not achieving much .Very ungrateful lot
A lot of respect for this man! Doesn’t matter which parts of Africa, the mindset is still the same.

no he didn't care about me.
That's true
Nice talk brother
The sad thing is that you have to reach out to them to see if they received the money, so ungrateful don’t have the decency to call or text to say thank you. I like this is my job or hobby
Exactly!!! They're sooooo ungrateful 😠
Very ungrateful, you make the money sending and you sto8make the call to kno if they get the money, very ungrateful people
I asked one if she got the #50,000 that I send to her, cos I sked her to give #30,000 to my mum and take #20,000 . Then I called her to kno if she gat it and she said to me , I have sent it as you said, meaning that I sopporse to give her 30,000 and give my mum 20,000
@@@ndidionwuzulu1197 you can imagine the level of ingratitude .The most painful part of it they feel you owe them ?The last time I checked no body owes any body anything on Earth .Even our parents what they owe you is the foundation after that they owe you nothing .your survival is between your hard work and God .may God see us tru .Amen
@ peter Adoga, it marvels me at times, I even sent a friend of mine #20,000 which she said she want to add to her business just 2months ago and now she is asking for another help to pay for her daughter 's school fees while she knew very well my mum was not fine as she broke her leg, we're a he do she want me to get it from, they think if you are in America that you plug money from the tree, am not listening to no body
I’m saving this video so I can replay it anytime my hubby wants to send money home to pay someone else’s kids’ school fees. Meanwhile, we are a single income family struggling with bills here and there. Mtchew
This message is for me, I'm tired sending money back home. They don't appreciated!
Stop sending
Stop my dear i was a victim
This is reality.... only those who understand the message will understand him also.
And not take offence!!👀
Do u think they care , even when u send them money they misuse because they think more is coming , it's the same everywhere. Build a house for them ,when u get home there is no place for u to sleep .
The worst is that as soon as they receive it, they can’t call to say they have received it. They either text or not even notify you at all😡

Wow!!!!! This holds so much weight coming from an African. I as an African-American married to a West-African man has said this for years to no avail. I watch how my husband and people from his community put so much pressure on themselves and they wonder why they are not progressing 🤦🏾♀️

They almost killed me through witchcraft cos I stopped.
They sent me demons to disturb me when I stopped sending money
Going to witch doctors to uproot money from you by force
Appreciative or not, it's not our role to be wage payers to lazy people
This happens for Latinos, it’s something the ones back home aren’t in our shoes. Real talk, respect ✊🏼
Preach it brother!!! I'm 🇯🇲, and I know EXACTLY what you're talking about. I'm estranged from majority of my relatives because of this situation. Take care of yourself first, because not even your own children that you sacrifice for will be there for you sometimes.
PREACH!
Amen, Amen and amen!!!!!
👍100% they are still going to be the ones to laugh if you got no house but you practically sacrificed it all for them.
I only send when is necessary to my mom ooh only. Others can kiss the sun.
You are right.
Exactly! It's only my mum I send money to on monthly basis because no amount of money will be too much for the sacrifice she made for me!
Yes you are so right
Me too Bro. Only my mother I send money to. relatives who doesn't care about anything apart from money can go to hell

I am watching this in September 2023 in Canada on the eve of my 60th birthday.
This message is so true for me. I spent 6 years sending money home to family and friends and got nothing, NO THING, in return. Not even a handwritten letter.
I've eventually stopped all that and focused on myself. If I can't do that then, I'd be a fool at sixty. God forbid.
Thank brother for the message. God bless you and increase your wisdom.
Most african diaspora in western countries can truly relate and nod to what you said bro. I am one of those who stress out to dead to support family back home. When I got seriously ill, I never got even a single encouraging words from my older brother to whom I was sending money every month for 4 years. Thank you for this video.
1. Some of you come home to visit and give the guys at home the impression that
abroad is heaven.
2. Even when you give them money, they still laugh at you and say your mates are
sending more back home.
3. My advice, only your kids back home are worth the sending.
This is it!!!
Edward Banjo That’s exactly my mind👌👌👌
You are right.
Exactly
Edward Banjo; correct; I remember when I visited home when I was in college, a cousin of mine labeled me useless for wasting my time in Europe when there Gambians in Germany who are building mega mansions back home. Most of those were drug dealers and are now mostly in jails in Germany or deported back home. Those fools were doing that to impress other fools back home. Sad.
I just started my journey in the USA. Just few month's the whole Nigeria start requesting cash from me .. I felt annoyed cos it is like a spell . No one says hi except they need something
They expect you to be sending money in times
Bcos they believe abroad is money not knowing you have to work harder.
Its bcuz they know u just got here.they need to get something from u b4 u changed
Anywhere in Africa believe me
It is actually a spell
Only my mother was the one who use to say that I don't have money, and people should not ask me money, only my mother she never asked me anything. I just send money to her without asking me, and if I ask her if she has any problem she will always say no am fine darling.
It’s exactly like continuing to supply money to a drug addict, you’re enabling bad behaviour that isn’t appreciated. Feel bad for these families on both ends :(
You are very right,They only call when they are in need and know thank you reply.
Truth. I lived in diaspora for 18 years and made permanent enemies. One of them is my very son who will not talk to me or call me mother. I came back over a year ago and we live near each other but never spoken. Why? Because whenever he called out of the blue to ask for huge sums of money and I just did not have it, he got resentful and swore off me. I was so poor while abroad!!! I have forgiven him. But I a, just sharing that the relatives sometimes get really demonic. There are people in diaspora becoming mad to the point of getting into an institution because of relative-related stress from back home. It's so serious the degree of entitlement by relatives is so unreal that people in diaspora at some point go silent and are never heard from. Africans!!! Stop this madness!!!
The 4 dislike are the people you are sending money 4🤣🤣🤣
😂🤣🤣🤣 they're haters
😂😂🤣🤣
You're right😀
Nikky One 😃😃

The problem of needy relatives and friends affect even those holding jobs and living in Africa. You cannot solve everybody's problems.
If you are abroad and can afford buy a rental property for your parents so that they can survive on the proceeds.
Buy ready houses as opposed to building unless you are very sure of who will handle the project for you.
Save something for your retirement, when you can no longer work the long hours.
If you are planning to come back home ensure you have a constant source of income. Life is tough these sides and the people you used to assist will avoid you when you have nothing.
To all those working hard in foreign countries to help at home we love and appreciate you but please take care of yourselves first. We need you back alive, not in a casket.
Very true about already built houses. Makes sense
A word to the wise...it's not even the lack of appreciating ..u send and they won't even confirm u still have to call and ask..."ulipata" I can't add more to what u have said brother ...u have said it all

I'm African American living in the United States and you speaking real truth. I got tired of always being the giver to my friends so now I'm my own best friend. Seven months ago I broke my ankle and couldn't walk or cook for myself for four months and not one person came to help or inquire to see how I was doing, for a short moment I was sad but learned I am the only one who I can depend on and that's alright with me. When Love for others comes before Self Love your expections will always be shattered. Great video. 👏🏾✌🏾💙
This man is preaching the truth . It gets hard once you are old to work and if you have no savings you are in deep trouble for survival.
I sent money to my friend in London like $70 . After receiving the money I was talking to him on phone . The next thing he is like let me break it down . You have to send me more money and this and that . The next thing he did not know what was happening I turned and switched off my phone number. He probably called and called no response I got a new number. I was just annoyed that he was expecting more money from me. No one is giving me any money. Here in the western no one gives money . Once you are broke you have to wait until you secure some money by working and waiting until you get paid. It is also scary.
I wish there was a love button.... I would have clicked it a thousand times over.
Sending money to any black country!! They do it to us in the Caribbean!!! The SAME TING!!!!!
Very true!!!
so true! someone reached out to me yesterday to ask for money and they hadn’t reached out to me in a while. Africans back home pls Africans here go through a lot. just don’t come out of the blues and ask them for money. Africans here pls stop giving people Money back home be wise! thanks for sharing this video ma’am.
Thank you bro. I have been saddened by the treatment of the people I have supported financially back home. And they were the first to laugh that I have not even build a house at home. Those who asked and I said I did not have money, we have become enemies. Our relatives take us for granted. Ask yourself this, if you were the one in need after you return, would the relatives you supported help you? Likely they would laugh at you for having been abroad and came back with nothing. Took long, now I know.
This gentleman is really positive, I like his logic
Very true!
Even though I have not finished watching this video, I choose to type my message because I just finished scolding my elder brother for giving his phone to his under age son to send me a message asking for money. What a hell! How can he be encouraging the kids to become beggars at their age. When you call to check on them, you hear all kinds of money request, buy me this, send me that. Hmmmm. NO! It is wrong I said to him. Thanks bro for sharing your concern. Happy Sunday.
Aunty you stand strong. This is so SAD because people reduce family relationships to a bank transaction, like he said Banking Mindset smh...
Justina Olaniyi I had to do the same to my older bro. Dude doesn’t have a job, I’m the one financing him and his only daughter, he even wants to have more kids. I told him that’ll be the end of my sending him money
Block that dam number!
MyYTChannel I know dey waste time to block number
Justina Olaniyi. Pls don't explode. I know it really hots especially when your sibling wants to turn you into a money making machine. Just take it easy and use your number 6 for them.
Most people forget that those who are away from home are also looking for a life...
MaJoR Me exactly
I just reactivated my personal bank account back home in Africa and every week I make it a point of duty to send money a token into that account, a wise friend advice me, now am smiling each time I look at the balance, be wise people......
Soo true. I'm African too. Our culture is horrible when it comes to this subject.
You said the truth bro .I remember when I was in Africa. though I usually say hi to my bro but when he usually send me money I took it like nothing till when he finally brought me here in to the usa .I now see his pain his suffering. I will for ever be grateful to him .I pray we make it together. Thanks bro for ur advice .

Negobrun52 M! Same here haiti 🇭🇹
Yep this is 100% true.
The most disgusting of all is they don’t appreciate, all they do is complain.
The most disgusting is that they eat that money like a dog . Your brother who was a calm man become alcoholic, your father left home is leaving with another woman your mother is seating in church everyday giving everything you send her to the pastor , finally the money you been sending home killed your family was peaceful . Finally you start to think that : they said it . This is blood money ,is evil money, confusion full inside your brain
They take it for granted, that is the problem. We should cut sending money BUT actually do things that can help them get their OWN money, and become independant on their own. I don't believe in sending cash (unless emergency)
it happened to me really bad Sister's brother's and my mother all of them they haven't give me any support after being disabled. this is very sad but God his watching down on me thanks lord Amen.
very true
True am suffering from this they don't appreciate
My 5yrs of hard labour was wasted n wen I was about to home they parted ways living my kids alone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭the pain was unbearable but God will pay me I still believe

Exactly
Diana care k.c. Are you really sure that you are living in USA. My reason for asking this question is becuse of your bad writing. Why must you be in the river bank and still suffocate out of thirsty. Can't you invest your leisure in a part time education.
Givers never lack
The kind of life people back home are living ehnn, they wear nothing but designer, real gold, all expensive stuffs from head to toe. They are more comfortable than us and the major reality is that, they have peace of mind. Nobody is sending them back anywhere. Majority of people in diaspora are not even legal and have no peace of mind. Talk-less of thinking of wearing Prada. The way people work here and the kind of job we do, its crazy, beyond explanation. Who is even talking of savings. And talking about $100 as 5hours of someone’s life. That is if you are working a job of $20 per hour. Majority of people are earning $8, $7 per hour. And sometimes under the table jobs. Its really crazy here. May God bless you for saying this truth. Who sits at home here on public holiday? Work work work. Abeg this video is much needed.
Well spoken! Thank you so much.
True you forgot iPhones haha
Very true, @ Bookie, they woe an expensive clothes and shoes, one day I peep on Facebook and saw all that I have been sending money to, looking wonderfully nice and me here in my cna uniform day and nite can't even buy nice cloth to church talk more of outing, can't even save little in my account, mehn, we over here gat to think twice, some will even tell you is this little money that you are making noise about, some will say you dnt even call us no more, as if they call you and you did not pick up the call, I mean it is crazy. They want you to do every thing, call, send , care and even bath them, not me. Christmas is now approaching, I will block all even my uncle
This is why I have never fancied living abroad except you have a very good job or profession. If you earn $1k a month in Naija, you can be a big boy: save plenty, build your own house and not die from paying taxes or getting sued over trivial stuffs. In my family we're contented. We don't go begging for money because we all know how extremely difficult it is to live abroad.
They want the latest iPhone even when they don't have a job. Then, u will be sending money home to buy datas and airtime for the phone. That's madness.
"Play God for everybody" that's what my mom did. Today for 10 years she is paraplegic because she has a stroke. Thank you brother.

Blessed to have seen this vlog today. I used to send money to a family member. It’s been almost a year since I stopped. I stopped because when I visited my family this year that very same family didn’t even invite me for dinner despite me asking. I would have even brought the food and all she had to do is prepare and share. I wanted to taste home cooking. Not even a bean was shared. That family hasn’t contacted me since I returned to England. Abroad they are better off than me. Living their dream whilst I sacrifice, sending money aboard. Wow this vlog is an inspirational message to money senders like myself. Thank thank
My brother am in Jamaica and I am watching this and everything you said is so true , it’s not just Africa even the Caribbean too may be its black thing ,
Exactly it's black things 😥😥
A black " thing" but it's got to STOP! It's up to the givers to have courage and get rid of the shame or pressure to send money. As the proverb says, to help a fisherman to fish, u give him a net , not money, buy the net only once , no more, he must survive on that!
The mostly pain is when theirs received the money no call to say yes we received or saying thanks nothing 😭😭 they is no one day their call to check on you never just their call when want a help from you and if you refuse their talk bad on you😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣U remind me one dec l send money for 4 month's, they didn't send any message 2 inform me, when l call they said they dont hv money .

The first time I visited home after 3 years in the UK the whole village was asking me for money. I blew £1000 in a week without realising it. Out of all things, people were asking money for alcohol. Now I am a lion when I visit home. I only buy groceries and do a few repairs on the house, that’s all. Anybody who asks me for money gets an insult in their face, followed by an indication that a slap is on the way.
The last part cracked me up 😊

I did that with my brother used me so bad until I was going crazy took my money for partying and woman had about 7kids he wanted me to feed them like I gave brith to them I stop that he does not talk to me now but I don't give a shit so I know what he is talking about
Jamaica I thought was the worst but I guess not
This put me to tears because my mom have ended up with nothing,,, sending all her money to family and friends 😭
I am a mother myself, I left my kids when they were so young, I thought that the time they will reach their teens I will be done with working. But my dear the people I left my kids with used me like a moop because of my two kids.
I use to send money to every kids so that my own kids get better life
I couldn't save any money at all. Now my children are grown up, am starting a fresh to do something for myself. But my body is tired I can't work the way I use to work when I was still in UK. 😔😔
Very sad and they never appreciate.
