A Nigerian woman, Ebelechukwu Eliana Onwudiwe, said her family members showed their true colours after she resigned from her job.
Onwudiwe disclosed this in a Facebook post on Thursday, September 4, 2025, while reacting to a story shared by an anonymous individual who narrated how his family stopped calling and visiting him after he lied about losing his job.
According to her, she worked as a manager in a Lagos firm prior to her resignation nine months ago.
Onwudiwe said since then her mother and siblings started treating her differently and stopped calling or checking up on her.
From someone her family once held in high esteem, Onwudiwe said she has become an object of mockery among them.
She vowed never to return home, saying she would rather d!e on the street and be buried in the bush.
“Happened to me too. It been 9 months since I resigned my managerial position in Lagos and moved home to start afresh and the once important Ebelechukwu is no longer relevant. No calls, no check ins. From being called mama London to not even addressed by my name properly. Today I have become an item of mockery and totally neglect,” she wrote.
“The little time my mum helped me financially, she used it to mock me and gossiped me to my younger siblings. Blood is never thicker. I will choose a total stranger over any family. And I will rather di…e on the street and buried in the bush than go home to family. I can’t relate to people who talk about being loved at home. So I intentionally create my own love outside home.”
