US-based Man in Pain as Uncle Misappropriates Money Sent Home for Building Project
US-based Nigerian man is in pain as he recounts how his uncle squandered and used the millions of cash he sent home for a building project to get a second wife for himself.
The Nigerian man revealed that while he was in the United States, he had been sending money back home to his uncle to help him build a house.
He stated that his uncle had been sending photos to him showing the supposed house that he had been erecting, not knowing that he wasn’t carrying out any building project.
The US-based Nigerian man revealed that he later found out to his devastation that his uncle had been lying all along.
According to him, the uncle had used the cash to live in luxury and get himself a second wife.
He added that his uncle is defending his actions by saying that he, the young man, shouldn’t complain since he has more in America.

@Uyotistic_Uyota said: “Beware of such uncle please. He could do even worse for your own money.”
@PetersLightt said: “Person wey you suppose arrest, lmao.
Don’t be sentimental when it comes to business, if your family hasn’t shown capacity to handle money, why entrust them with money for a project that you won’t be there to supervise?
Get an actual professional, so that when the person messes up or defrauds you, you’ll deal with them ruthlessly and no one would come to beg you.”
@heisG3orge said: “That’s why most people based abroad say you shouldn’t give money to family members in Africa…but I don’t believe it sha, it depends on the kind family wey you get”
