Am I Wrong For Refusing To Support My Extended Family?
This is one of those silent battles many Nigerians are fighting but rarely talk about. You finally start making money. Maybe it's salary. Maybe it's side hustle. Maybe it's your small business finally picking up. Then it starts… “Send something for your uncle.” “Help your cousin with school fees.” “Your family is counting on you.” “Don’t forget where you came from.” Before you know it, your income is no longer yours. So let’s ask the uncomfortable question: Am I wrong for refusing to support my extended family? Not because you don’t care. But because you’re trying to survive in Nigeria’s economy, pay rent, eat, save, and maybe even build your own life. Or are you expected to carry everyone once you start earning? Be honest.
