‘I’m on the verge of losing my son!’ Germany-based Nigerian lady cries out over his unruly adolescent boy

A Nigerian lady living in Germany has taken to social media to seek advice on how to handle her difficult adolescent son she just brought over to Europe to live with her.

According to the lady with the moniker, Aladeenitan, she left the boy when he was only three years old to emigrate to Germany where she has been living since then.

She recently went to Nigeria to bring him to Germany when he turned 16. He has barely spent 5 months in Germany.

Enitan complained that the boy did not want to do anything other than play with his phone from morning till night.

According to her, the boy would not even do assignments given to him in class. Neither would he help her with the house chores.

She narrated that the latest incident that caused a major rift between them was that she asked him to wash his own clothes with the machine and clean the living room after she had washed two batches of clothes and cleaned the rest of the house.

Enitan said her son refused to do any of the chores and instead went to sleep.

When she ordered the boy to go for a stroll as a punishment, the boy reportedly went to the police to report his mother that she was stressing his life and that he wanted to return to Nigeria.

The police reportedly told him it was not part of their job and referred him to an agency saddled with such duties.

According to Enitan, her son actually went in search of the address and only returned home after he was unable to trace it.

“I searched for him everywhere in panic only to return home in frustration to find him at home. She said the boy had the effrontery to hand over the address to her and told her to help him find the agency or contact them with his request to return to Nigeria.

Enitan said all her family members pleaded with him to change his mind, but he refused, insisting that he loved life better in Nigeria where he had many friends who were urging him to return.

According to her, the boy begged him to allow him to go back to Nigeria with his phone and a speaker she bought for him to further his interest in music.

But the aggrieved mother fears that she may lose the son forever if he returns to Nigeria, especially as it appears he does not love her any longer after she had left him in Nigeria for so long to hustle in Europe.

She said she gave the son the best life, sending him to private primary and secondary school in Nigeria before bringing him to Germany.

She broke down in tears at a point in her narration, explaining that she had tried her best for her son and expected him to love her in return.

She is afraid that the boy may get her in trouble with the authorities in Germany with his attitude.

She called for advice from those with adolescent boys who have similar experiences.
