A recent post on X has gone viral after a man explained why his uncle, living abroad, removed his cousin from a family WhatsApp group. He said the removal followed a request for money.
Man Explains Cousin’s Removal from WhatsApp Group
The cousin claimed his wife had been unwell and unable to run her shop. He repeated that her illness prevented her from opening the business.
The man, identified as @AnyanwuMalachy on X, said his uncle, who resides in the United Kingdom, took the action. He added that he contacted his cousin via direct message to understand what happened.
During that conversation, the cousin revealed that his wife was expecting their fifth child.
The original poster admitted he considered blocking his cousin, an electrician, on WhatsApp after learning about the pregnancy.
Online Reactions to the Incident
Chinonye Olisa remarked, “God help them. They should sort things out themselves; family planning exists for a reason.”
Joy commented, “I don’t mind how many children someone chooses to have, but they shouldn’t involve others in caring for them.”
Dreh observed, “Criticizing him in the family chat likely won’t fix anything. He still needs to own his responsibilities, while relatives can support him and discuss finances and family size openly.”
