Nigerian Man Shocked by His Distant Relative’s Request to Pay School Fees For Her Kids Since He Is Chiildless

A Nigerian man was left stunned after a distant relative requested he pay school fees for her child, citing his childless status as justification. The relative, with whom he rarely communicates, assumed his singleness meant he had excess funds. The man shared his disbelief on X (formerly Twitter), revealing his father’s readiness to confront the woman. The post sparked lively online discussions, with users debating entitlement, boundaries, and family dynamics.

Some warned against enabling dependency, while others saw humor in the situation. The incident highlights the complexities of navigating family relationships and financial responsibilities.

@TheLydiaLadej: “Once you start paying for their kids’ school fees or sorting out their expenses, they almost never want you to settle down and face your own family. Once an entitled person, forever an entitled person. They are so going to resent you once you start focusing on your family.”

@im_tolumichael: “Why do some family members do this though? They believe as long as they have the tag ‘family member’, it means access to everything from a fellow family including those they don’t talk to or know anything about them.”

@Gracebal0: “Reminds of that Chinese dude that k*lled his neighbor for always asking him why he wasn’t married. People need to learn to mind their business.”

@Nana_Abekah_: “She’s right tho. If you start practicing paying fees now, by the time it’s your own you’ll be used to it.”
