“My friend is crashing out because her husband, who has been abroad since 2021, wants to relocate his brother instead of her.
Back in 2021, her husband’s father retired and received about ₦13–₦14M as his retirement benefits. He used part of that money to send him abroad so he’d be able to send money home and support the family. That was the plan, and it happened.
Over the years, he has consistently sent money home to his wife and child, as well as to his parents. As time went on, he got a better job, became more financially stable, and started sending even more money. He increased his wife’s monthly allowance and also increased the amount he sent to his father.
Earlier this year, he told his wife he wanted to bring his younger brother to Canada.
She was shocked at how he could choose to bring his brother first when she and her child were still in Nigeria. She felt they should come first.
Her husband explained his reasons and said his father sacrificed his retirement money to allow him to relocate and because of that sacrifice, he feels he owes it to his family to help his younger brother first. He also added that once his brother is settled in and starts working, the responsibility of supporting the family back home won’t rest on him alone anymore. That would make it much easier for him to bring her.
She disagreed completely and suggested that if he truly wanted to repay his father, he could simply save up the amount his father spent on him and give it back to him instead of bringing his brother abroad first. To her, they should be the priority.
The husband, on the other hand, insists that because his father emptied his pension to help him relocate, the normal and honorable thing to do is to repay that sacrifice by helping his brother first.
Please, I’d like to hear your thoughts, who do you think is right in this situation, the husband or the wife? She'll be reading your comments…”
A Nigerian lady has sparked reactions after reportedly expressing disappointment over her husband’s decision to relocate his younger brother to Canada before bringing her and their child to join him.
