this is the thing. the nigerian economy is very very difficult in nigeria right now. i for instance had a payment that i have been waiting for since november. and i had alot of commitments riding on it. after a while it will sound like you are a story teller . even worse, by the time the money camein, its value had been severly eroded by inflation. i am sure th OP must have told his brother severally, hang on , the money is coming.
i personally think its a rubbish clickbait story though - because everyone knows whats up right now with regards to cash flow

there is nothing wrong with having a payment delayed NOR there is anything wrong with someone not being able to help any longer, the issue is that, if this is what happens then LET THE PERSON KNOW ABOUT IT SO THAT THEY DONT WASTE THEIR TIME/ENERGY WAITING FOR NOTHING:

Akinpresident:
Shut up and just shut up!
Is the entitled brat of a brother his boss that he'll be reporting to?
Obviously, you're one of such brothers who doesn't consider the sacrifices siblings make to meet up with requests.

if i promise my brotha something then i either fulfill such promise OR let my brotha know that i really tried but unfortunately, i cant help at this moment in time (due to whatever reason). what i certainly wont do is say nothing to him, put him in limbo and waste his time... and then getting upset because he is still expecting what i have promised to give him.

Op is a liar

I promised my brother that i will assist him to get a laptop for his design business by contributing half of the money. Th HP system cost 120K, so i should pay 60k.

But it's over 2months now and the money i was expecting did'nt arrive. He called me yesterday to blame me for being the cause why he had already spent half of his contribution.

The last text he sent to me on whatsapp was"thanks for the delay!". And this morning i discovered he had already blocked me. I only saw my messages on his dm and none of his texts were there.

Can a poor man ostracise a rich man?

When he is tired of being childish, he will apologise to you.

Just ignore him.

MrBrownJay1:
- why didnt you contact him all this time, and explain the situation to him?
- if you cant fulfill your promise to somebody then be honest to them
- who else should he blame then, since you promised him something that you didnt deliver?
- dont you understand why he is upset?

God bless u.......

Don't promise when they funds is being expected.

Then your peace is yours to keep.

If you give him the money now, it is useless to him, because he had already spent his own half of the money.

DON'T GO PROMISING HIM ANYTHING AGAIN.
ELSE YOU WOULD BE REMINDING HIM OF THE ONE YOU PROMISED WHICH YOU DIDN'T FULFILL.

blackpanthar:


You are a good brother.... but be wise, avoid black tax.

YOU DIDNT HAVE TO PROMISE HIM ANYTHING.... without a TARGET.

I mean you should have told him "IF YOU HAVE THIS AND THAT, THEN I MAY GIVE YOU HALF"

emphasis on MAY.

I believe your cash will come this month.... SEND HIM 61K or 65K.

Then when he is so happy and unblocks you.

FINISH HIM..... CORRECT HIM AND TELL HIM THE EXTRA 1K or 5K was for him to buy wisdom, tell him you will NEVER HELP HIM AGAIN TILL HE IS NO LONGER FEELING ENTITLED and then BLOCK HIM.


Move on... and what how his mind will crumble.

being his ELDER BROTHER should be proven by having ability to correct him in a way that will shake his mind

kudos bro

THIS ONE IS TOO FATAL..

ESPECIALLY THE “AND THEN BLOCK HIM”.

If my sibling makes a promise and is UNABLE to fulfill it, I would be worried. Worried about his comfort, his state and all that. Blocking you shows the level of stupid entitlement he has. Worse he should have done is to call you and pressure with the need he has, hear from you and if it is worth it, you may even go a step forward to borrow.

He is evil

Hope you can give the same advice or follow it through to the letter if it were to be your brother that was involved.

Big Yes!

My people know me and my own definition of family, if you think cause we are related by blood you can be ungrateful and move like a snake around me, you are in for the shock of your life.

I have people not related by blood that I consider family and i have people related by blood that are not my family!

I respect that!

Make peace with your brother. You know him better. I also believe that the prerequisite to making peace is by being truthful.

You've promised him and he looked up to you, meet in person and explain your challenges and also how you guys can get the laptop.

Don't fall into the ego trap of blocking him back, keeping malice and doing stubborn. It just makes things worse, and the both of you weaker. Blood is thicker than water.

I mean if it's a non-nuclear family, I'll just say "no gree for am", but a brother? Just make peace. Just as simping is sweet, fighting (thriving in weakness) is sweet, but the consequences are huge.

See Andrew Tate and his brother. Two brothers who are tough as rock, and no government or individual can come between them. Strive to be like that with all your family members.
