Obiageli Juliana Okoro, a UK-based Nigerian woman, has sparked buzz after sharing a blunt advice for people whose relatives only reach out when they need money.
Her message struck a nerve because it touched on a reality many people face but rarely talk about: being treated like the family ATM.
Obiageli’s warning comes from a place of tough love and personal experience. In a Facebook post, she explained her perspective clearly:
“If your family only calls you for financial help, block them. You are more than 2 in your family, but you are the only one they call for financial help! Block them! If anything happens to you… they will move on sharply.”
Her words resonated widely, especially among those in diaspora who have felt drained by constant financial requests from relatives.
Feeling pressured to provide over and over can be exhausting, stressful, and emotionally overwhelming.
Okoro’s post ignited a lively conversation online. Many praised her no-nonsense stance, applauding her for prioritizing self-care. Others suggested a more measured approach, recommending clear limits instead of completely cutting ties.
Either way, her message is clear: you do not have to sacrifice your life or happiness for endless demands.
