According to the story, the young man relocated to the US with a student visa, and it was not like he had started earning a lot of money.
Part of the story goes:
“My cousin who came to the US to study in 2021 and suddenly his older brother and the wife (her especially) started beefing him that he couldn’t send them something or he tells them he doesn’t have when they ask. The wife says things like; when he was in Uniben, he comes here for vacation, I am the one who cook and gives him food. I even collect money from his brother to buy him things when he is returning back to school. Eventually, that same wife’s younger brother wanted to get married and he sent him N20k. He called him to say he was disappointed that only N20k was what he could send to him for his wedding. A student in school on student visa o.”
The money issue eventually led to a strained relationship, and the abroad-based man was forced to stop communication with the said brother.
