Nigerian extended family meeting will show you premium madness 😂💔
<p>My dad was just fined ₦50,000 by the family for giving "wicked advice," and I can't even stop laughing.</p><p> Gather around for this story.</p><p>My dad’s cousin has an only daughter (20 years old). She travelled from Lagos to Calabar to visit her aunt but because of crazy traffic, she didn't get to Calabar until 1:00 AM.</p><p>She called her aunt multiple times, but she didn't pick up.</p><p>A 20-year-old girl in a strange city at night. She managed to find her way to the house by 1:30 AM and knocked on the gate. Her aunt actually came out to the gate, but refused to open it.</p><p>Her reason? "It is too late. And she has principles in her house. </p><p>And she also said, what if thieves followed you? I have to protect my own family."</p><p>The girl was crying, begging that she didn't know anyone and desperately needed to use the toilet.</p><p>Her aunt told her to go look for a hotel in the middle of the night, turned her back, and went inside to sleep.</p><p>By pure luck, a soldier returning home saw the girl stranded and crying at the gate. He took pity on her and gave her a place to stay for the night.</p><p>The next morning, the girl charged her phone and called her father to explain what happened.</p><p>Her father didn't shout. He didn't fight. He just silently stopped the monthly allowance he had been sending to his sister (the aunt), and immediately stopped paying her three children's school fees.</p><p>The extended family called an emergency meeting. They said the man was being "too harsh" on his sister.</p><p>The man was frustrated, so he called my dad to vent. My dad listened to the whole story and told him: "You are actually being too soft. Evict her and her husband from that house in Calabar. After all, you are the one who built it!"</p><p>Yes. The house the aunt locked the 20-year-old girl out of actually belongs to the girl's father! </p><p>When the extended family heard the advice my dad gave, they paused the original case, dragged my dad into the matter, and fined him ₦50,000 for "escalating the issue and bringing wicked idea.</p>
