Bitcoin Chief has opened up about his strained relationship with his younger brother after allegedly spending over £34,000 to sponsor his move to the United Kingdom.
According to him, he paid his brother’s school fees, accommodated him for free and covered his food expenses throughout his Master’s programme.
He said his brother eventually completed his studies, secured employment and opened a barbing salon with eight chairs in London. However, Bitcoin Chief claimed that despite his improved financial situation, his brother never offered support to his children or informed him when he built a house in Nigeria.
He recalled an occasion when he told his brother he was broke and requested £500. According to him, his brother replied that he had no money available but had ₦1 million he was not using.
Bitcoin Chief said he sent his naira account details but claimed that three months later, his brother had neither responded nor sent the money.
He wrote:
“I spent over £34,000 sending my younger brother to the UK.
I paid his school fees, and he lived in my house for free, with his food and accommodation fully covered.
He finished his Master’s programme, moved out, started working, made enough money, and opened a barbing salon with eight chairs in the heart of London.
He has never bought even a loaf of bread for my sons.
He built a house in Nigeria without telling me. He even flew his girlfriend to Spain for her birthday.
One time, I lied that I was broke and asked him to send me £500.
He told me he had used all his money but had ₦1 million he wasn’t using.
I sent him my naira account details.
It has been three months, and he has never replied to that message.
Family is not blood.
Now that I have decided to be wîcked, nobody should blame me.
I have seen all sides of human wickedness.
I have repeatedly told him and other family members that if God had put them in my position, I would still be in the village suffering. The highest they would do is send me $100 and ask me to be grateful.
I have lived the first half of my life for others, and now I have decided to be wicked, selfish, and stingy for myself and my sons.
Humans are terrible. Just buy a dog.”
The post has sparked reactions from social media users, with some sympathising with him while others reflected on the importance of having supportive family members.
