HE Trusted His Uncle And Gave Him Money to Build a House For His Mother,Only For .#story #folklore – Ty

It was a very hot Sunday afternoon over the leaky extenda stood outside there holding bunch of shiny new keys in his hands. He was smiling to himself feeling so proud. Mama will never believe this one e this surprise it will shock her. It has been 8 years 8 years since left Nigeria. eight years of saving, working, struggling in a cold foreign land.

He had promised himself that when he returned, his mother would never suffer again. He would give his mother the best life ever and also his younger sister. Now, was standing in front of a beautiful house he has bought for his mother. tall gates, white walls, shiny roof, the kind of house his mother used to point whenever they watching television years ago.

And the mother would make comments like, “One day my son will buy something like this for me.” Held on to that statement and believed in himself that one day he would buy such beautiful house for his mother. As he stood there in front of the beautiful house, his chest swelled with pride. He could only imagine his mother’s smile. He imagined her dancing with joy, clapping her hands and singing praises, all because he bought her a house.

He knocked on the gate gently. No answer. He knocked again, this time around very loud. Few seconds later, the gates opened and a tall man with a round belly stood there holding a bottle of malt. He was wearing a security uniform. Oh, you must be the security man. Yes, sir. Are you looking for someone or you came for the party? Party? What are you talking about? The security man smiled and stepped aside as if he was inviting him in.

stepped inside and was really confused. As he looked around, he saw children running around with bicycle, women under the ver not dancing to the tune of the music and also the DJ that was playing music to show that it was a family party. Became confused. I don’t understand what is going on here.

This house belongs to my mother. Watching Nas said to himself as he stepped inside. He walked inside a sitting room and what he was seeing was another family portrait photo hanging on the wall. Not his own family. A man, a woman that has two boys. Became confused. Then one elderly man came out and greeted Ucha. Who are you and what are you doing here? I can’t remember inviting you.

You are not a family member. How did you get in here? You see this stupid boy we call our security. One day he will bring in thieves here. Uhhuh. How can he let you walk inside without telling me that I have a guest in my own house? Now calm the man down. Calm down first. I think there is some kind of mix up somewhere. Please.

So, are you the owner of this house or this house was rented to you? Which one? I am not the owner of the house. The house was rented. Mr. Nambdi, he’s our landlord. Why are you asking? At that moment, could not breathe again. His uncle, his late brother’s younger brother, the same man who promised to build a house for him. Utena could not believe his ears.

He stepped back in shock. The man kept on asking him if all is well butcha did not reply. He just turned back and left the house. Before traveled outside Nigeria had lived with his mother in one small one room apartment in Enugu. The wall of that small room always leaked when it rained. The floor was cracked.

But nasa’s mother never complained. She sold granut by the roadside just to send na to school and she would always remind that she doesn’t have much but let him study well with the little she’s providing because she believes that one day the suffering will end and that was how managed himself finish university and got a job offer overseas.

It was not easy for him to travel. They had to sell their old car, borrow money from friends, family, even sold the last piece of land their father left before he died. From the first and second month, immediately landed overseas. He started sending money every day to his mother. Ina trusted her mother would do well with the money and also he started trusting his uncle Mr.

Nandi who was the only man in the family who could handle big projects. He wanted to give the project to his mother. But that is not the kind of thing which’s mother can do because of her age. And also before Oena started trusting the uncle, which had to make some investigations and also ask his mother some questions. And the mother assured him that Unambi is the only person who stood by her when their father died.

And unambi is also the only person who never abandoned them. He has always been there for them getting food stuff bringing a lot of things for them. He was never a greedy man. So now believed that the uncle would continue to be good not knowing that money can change someone. Nami was loud, confident and always full of stories.

Stories that will make you give him everything you have. stories that will buy you immediately. It’s as if he knows the trick and the answer to every questions. Immediately consulted him and told him about buying a land in Lei and building a beautiful house for his mother. Nami immediately jumped on the offer. Ah, leave it to me.

Ah, you should focus on your work there. I will handle your land and your building here, everything here. You know, your mother is just like a sister. I’ve always been there for her. So don’t worry yourself. So when Ucha sent the first big payment 5 million NRA, he sent it to Uncle Nambi’s account. He should use it and get a plot of land to start building.

Nambi immediately did so sent him pictures of an empty plot and building materials that he already got and work has started. Do not worry. Mama will soon move inside her house very soon. In the beginning, Nambdi was very transparent and that made Ucha to trust him the more. Every money sent to him, Ni will reply with evidence of what he got with the money foundation.

This is the wall cement. H we’ve bought ghetto. He kept on hailing now. Ah, my boy your house don’t enter level. You go soon shock your mama. Ah and when you see it you said you go confirm. Whenever now wanted to do live video with him is always available. He’s there to deliver he will go and do live video showing that he’s actually doing what they paid him to do.

Believed every word that comes out of uncle’s mouth. Even in their culture you have to respect elders and Nambi was not just an uncle toa he was also like a second father after na’s father died was a period when’s mother got really sick it was uncle Nambdi that rushed her to the hospital he was there made sure that the woman was fine and okay discharged now was so grateful and kept on thanking King the uncle regardless of the money now was sending home for the house.

He was also giving the uncle extra money. Anytime he sends money he will send more than what he want to send and tell him to take this one and use for his personal need and was always very grateful for the money that he sent. 8 years passed just like that. So when Ucha decided that he finally want to return home and surprise his mother, he didn’t tell anyone.

He just wanted to surprise his mother. He imagined her crying tears of joy when she would see the beautiful house standing right in front of her. Natu did not call uncle Nambdi. Now wanted to see the house with his own eyes before he even reach out to him. Now getting to the house, the same address that Uncle Nandi gave him.

And Uncle Nandi also told where to pick up the key anytime he comes. Getting to the house and seeing another family living there. It did not really make sense to why would another family be living in the house I built with my hard earned money. And why did they call Nami their landlord? Does this mean that uncleandandy finish this house? Instead of him to move in my mother, he went and rented the apartment out and was collecting rent.

Hey, what sort of joke is this? Okoni can’t do this now. He’s too He’s too big for this. Not after all the money I’ve been sending to him. This is not fair. The next morning, drove straight to the land registry office. He needed to see things for himself. He wanted no more stories and no more don’t worry. As he got to the office, the person at the reception then collected the land documents from Ucha, the one that the uncle gave him, claiming it was the land papers that he used to buy the land.

After they checked the land name on their system, the man then looked up. Um, I’m sorry. This paper is saying that the house belongs to one Mrs. Grace Okafo. Ah, is not possible. This house is registered under Mr. Namuro, not Mrs. Grace. Oh, what do you mean? That’s not possible. I beg. Check again.

My uncle helped me buy the house. I paid for it. And I told him to put it in my mother’s name. What? What do you mean by it? It is inside his own name. How is that possible? The officer turned the screen towards him. Look at it here. Mr. Nandi Okafo, owner of the house. Are you seeing it with your eyes now? Have you believed me? Okay, sir.

Thank you so much. Please, can I get a copy of this file because I think I will need it. This house was actually bought in my mother’s name. I do not understand why it is under my uncle’s name. The officer then told him that he will need to pay a small fee if he wants him to do that right away.

If not, he will follow due process and wait at least one or two days before the courts approves him to come and take it. That was how paid the officer immediately and collected the paper. As he walked out of that office, he went and sat inside his car. He sat there for a very long time, staring at nothing.

He was just thinking about his life. His own uncle, the man he trusted like his own father, has stolen his own hard work. And there is no way he would let his pass or let him win. The next day, Obina decided to drove straight to Enugu. He wanted to go and see his mother at least since the house issue is coming up.

Let him go and see his mother and hug her, greet her because it has been over 8 years since he set eyes on his mother. When he got to Enugu, the mother was so happy to see him. They hked, danced, and the woman was just giving God praises for bringing his son home back safely. You are looking so good my son. Hey Omo see you just look good on you.

This overseas looking good though. See your skin fresh was so happy. Mama you too. You’re not looking bad. They talked discussed about long long time ago the things you’ve missed about each other. They had a very long conversation before decided to ask his mother some questions. Hey, mama. Um, I want to ask you something.

Uncle Nambdi, how is he? I hope he’s still treating you better and he has not really changed. Eh, I could say he’s okay. Has been long he visited me and um he barely calls me on the phone these days. It’s been over four years since I heard from him. I I tried to reach out to him on his birthdays. I there was a time I heard he was celebrating child education. I called him.

He did not pick up my calls. It was as if he distanced himself from me. I do not really know why. Anyways, people change. You know, I had is now a very big man both in the city and here in Enugu. He has built a very big mansion and he’s living large. Probably that’s the reason why he changed. You know you say money change people.

Of course it will change your uncle because he has always been someone that likes money too much. So mama if you know that this man has always been a man that loves money so much. Why didn’t you tell me when I asked you about him that I want to start doing small small projects with him? You told me I can trust him and that’s why I sent a lot of money for him to help me get a property in Lagos and also here in Enugu and Uncle N have not been picking my course.

I’m not joking mama. It’s as if the man disappeared with my money. Jesus. Is that why you came back without anybody? Yes, of course. I need to surprise the man. The money is too much for me to just let it go like that. Hey, has he gotten to that now? Wow. What do we do to deserve this kind of thing? Now, this man in front of me and your sister, if you see the kind of way he was swearing that he will take care of you, take care of me, take care of everyone when your father was about to enter 6 ft below.

He promised heaven and earth. Why is he now behaving like this? Why would he scam his own blood? Hey, that is very bad though. So, what do you intend doing now? Don’t worry, mama. I know what to do. Just don’t worry. The next day aftera got back. He immediately went straight to his uncle house. As he got there, he didn’t call uncle to tell him that he’s coming.

He just went there to also surprise him, just the way he surprised his mother. When he got there, he met Uncle Nambi’s children who greeted him and pointed to where their father is seated with their mother discussing. Nambi climbed the stairs and went out to the veranda where uncle was seated within a newspaper. Immediately he cited he was so happy.

Hey, see my boy. You didn’t tell me you were back. Nami stood up to huga. Ouch. Chenna stepped back. Uncle, this is not about hogging matter. We need to talk talk. Okay. H we have plenty of talk. Oh, you didn’t tell me you were coming back. I would have prepared for you in a very special way. But anyways, this is not how to greet your uncle after 8 years. Oh, I came to hug you.

You are stepping back telling me you have a conversation. Should have greet me properly. That is how children behave when they see their elders. Anyways, I am so happy to see you. Sit down. Let one of my children bring malt for you. Uncle, thank you so much. I don’t want to drink or eat anything here.

I came here for a very serious business. So, uncle, I went to the land registry yesterday. And this face changed immediately from smiling to being angry. Land registry for what? For the house. The one I sent you money for years to build for my mother. Oh, that house. Hey, what is wrong with this now? Everything is fine.

It’s still our family property. The house is completed. Family property. Uncle Namb, my hard earned money is not a family property. What nonsense are you talking about? Ah, young man, calm down. Why are you talking to me like this? Did I not raise you like my own? Even your mother stays with us here sometimes when she’s not feeling too well.

and I will take care of her. My wife too will take care of her. So why are you talking to me as if I’m your mate? Or is it because you come back from abroad now you feel like you can come to my house to come and intimidate me or start disgracing me in front of my children and my wife? You think you know everything because you went abroad.

Hey let me tell you if you know how much stress I went through building that house for you, the contractors, the land people, the bribe I had to bribe to maneuver a lot of things. I deserve something good. Not you coming back here to talk to me as if we are mates. Uncle, so you took everything. You took my sweat.

You took my dreams of giving my mother a beautiful house. What kind of a man are you? This is wickedness. though on top of my own sweat. Do you know how hard it is to walk out there and make money? Then I have to send it to you out of trust. You chose to betray me. Uncle C, I respect you. But if you think you can steal from me and walk free, think again.

All you have to do is the land documents, please provide it. the one with your name, go and change it back to my mother’s name. Hand it over. Tell those people that are staying in that house to move out ASAP. Because if you do not do that, you will not like my next action. What I will do next, it will shock you. It was as if Uni was waiting for the right time to explode. I beg, get out.

Get out of my house. Look at you small boy of yesterday. You are standing in front of me telling me what is right and what is wrong. Change waiting. It must be it must be out of your mind. See you have no proof. I bought the house. The house is in my name and that’s on period. Angrily stormed out of his uncle’s house.

That night he couldn’t even sleep. He sat by the window staring into the dark streets. A betrayal. It was too much for him to handle. He remembered how as a child Nambi used to buy him things without even being asked and called him my little prince, my favorite person. Now the same man had turned into thief wearing fine fine clothes. K knew that he needed to do something.

If not that house will go just like that. He opened his laptop and started making some research on how to get the best lawyer that would help him get and recover his property back. He was able to get one after few recommendations. 2 days later, met up with a middle-aged man named Detective Carlo at a small restaurant.

The two of them sat down together. The man then asked, “Eh, so you said you want me to check out some land documents and money transfer, right?” Yes. Yes. Good. You will have to give me one week so that I will follow up on what is really going on. Then I will tell you what else we can do. But right now, after hearing everything you said, h it’s such a pity that we live in a world full of wickedness, greedy people, and people that don’t think before they act.

And your uncle is one of them. He’s very foolish. If only he knows the consequences of the action that he did, he wouldn’t have done that. So you will have to send me receipts, bank transfers and all the WhatsApp chats between you and your uncle. Forward it to my WhatsApp and also forward it to my email. That week was the longest week of Uta’s life.

He was so anxious. He was so restless. He didn’t really know the result of what he’s doing, how it will come out. And he doesn’t want his uncle to reap where he did not sow. After seven whole weeks, finally the call came true. Detective Caru called and asked him to come to his office. So Mr. after my little investigations, we found out a lot of things that your uncle did.

Yes, it is true that he bought the land in his name. you can still recover that because of the money you sent to him to buy the property and everything that was used to build that house came from you. So in court you can still prove that and recover your land. That one is not even the problem. But he went ahead to tell the people living there that it is you that owns the house, not him.

So he forged your signature and receipts that he’s using to collect the rent for the house for the past 4 years. Your uncle finished that house 4 years ago and has been collecting rent in that house. He opened an account in your name and used it to collect the money. Are you serious? You mean my uncle completed this house 4 years ago? Ha, that man is a bloody thief.

He told me that he completed the house just this year and that was why I came back uninvited without even telling him or my mother because I want to surprise them. This is wickedness. So, Mr. Chenna, do you want to take your uncle to court? Yes, detective, but not yet. I want to see how far my uncle can go.

I want him to believe that I’m done fighting. Then I will struck him when he expected it. That’s a very smart move. But keep your head high. People like that are very dangerous when cornered. Now that he knows that you found out about his small small dealings, he will find a way to take you out. So you need to be very very careful around him.

The people you call relative including your mother be very careful. By the time got home, he told his mother how the uncle collected money, bought the house, and was renting it out. Did not tell the mother that the house was actually for her because he still want to maintain the secret of buying her a beautiful house.

And the mother was so disappointed. Yay. So man they can go this far. He’s very wicked though. So he collected your money, buy the house and now rented it out for people to start living. Collecting the money in your name. Hey, that one is criminal. I never knew he can go this far because of money. But my son, you need to be very careful.

I want you to stay calm. Even though I want you to expose him, but be very careful because your uncle is not ordinary. I know I have praised him of his good deeds, but he used to put his hand in one or two juju. You have to be very careful. If not, he will come for you spiritually and I don’t want that. You’re my only son. I beg.

Mama, don’t worry. I will do as if I’ve forgotten about it so that he will feel relaxed. Then I will struck him when he least expected it. Okay. Oh, if you say so. Just don’t go threatening him up and down. He will have the upper hand. I know him very well. Anyways, I heard he’s doing um a party. You see a housewarming party.

I told you that he build one big house in this our village. He’s doing a an open, you know, he invited everyone for the house warming. So I think you should attend and maybe you can use that opportunity and give him the best surprise of his life. Oh that is good mama. If he has a party that means the whole family will be there. Very good.

Perfect timing and will give him the best housewarming gift ever. Then made call to detective Ku and told him what he just found out. The detective was so happy and told him to get ready that that day he would expose his uncle. On the day of that family gathering attended, the whole house was full with cousins, aunties, uncle, all the relative were there.

Immediately walked in. Now they saw him and started laughing. Hey, see my boy you came. I never knew you would come but come inside. Come and eat. There is plenty for us to eat and enjoy. Uncle, do I look like someone that is hungry or do I look like someone that have not eaten for days? Andy does not want to be disgraced in front of his family and friends, even his in-laws.

He had to start faking a smile to drag out of that place and give him the best warning of his life. But now stand still my boy. What are you saying now? Ah stop sounding like a stranger. Come. But come let us talk. Let us talk outside. Then pulled out an envelope and started scattering it all over everywhere.

Uncle this is your bank receipts, fake signatures, everything that you used to collect money. House rent from my house for four good years. You faked it all. You stole from me and you stole my mother’s property. Everybody in that room was standing in shock. It is me, your uncle. Ha, calm down now. Eh, don’t talk nonsense in front of my in-laws and my relative.

We can settle this amicably. Uncle, nonsense. You are talking nonsense. You forged my signature. You took my mother’s property and registered it under your own name. You collected rent for four good years and you are standing here telling me that you want me to go and resolve it amicably. Are you not wicked? And this face turn red immediately.

Would you wash your mouth, young man? You are talking to your elder. Oh no, uncle. I am not talking to my elder. I am talking to a thief who kept on stealing from me. You kept on collecting money from me for extra 3 years after you completed the house 4 years ago. You were still collecting money for the house.

Who? I was giving you money to build your own house. Is that how wicked you can be? The housewarming you are doing. Is this not from my money? Do I need to ring a bell to tell the whole world that you are a thief? Nami became very angry. He wanted to attack when two policemen walked inside. Good afternoon, Mr. Unamafo.

You are under arrest for forgery, fraud, and theft. Please come with us. And they tried to escape, but it was already late. The police surrounded the whole property. They uncuffed him right in front of everyone and they led him away. That was how the housewarming scattered. Everybody went back to their houses in shock.

After Nandi was arrested, they went from court to court and meeting after meeting, hearing after hearing and finally now won. The property was back in his mother’s name and the house was fully recovered. The people that the house was rented to, they were given just one week to move out. After a full refund of one year rent was given to them.

After they moved out, used his hand and did a lot of renovations. He painted the whole house all over again. The house, everything in the house was changed to brand new. And finally, he surprised his mother. the mother’s dream house. He gave it to her and the woman could not control her tears. She was so happy. Oh my son, finally you did what your father could not do in his lifetime.

I am so proud of you. Godo, thank you. Now was so proud that he was able to fulfill his dream of giving his mother the best house. Blood is not enough to make someone family. It’s honesty I keep the name very clean. Anybody can betray you. Your own blood brother, sister, name them. We all have to trade carefully when we are dealing with people, especially those outside the country sending in money for their loved ones to build.

It is better sometimes you come back once in a while and check what you are building or better still follow or use any good agency that can build a house for you. Hello besties.
