A Nigerian man has sparked conversation online after sharing how his aunt, who lives in the United Kingdom, blocked several family members on WhatsApp.
The man, identified as @-99George on X (formerly Twitter), revealed that even relatives who had never asked his aunt for money were not spared, as she reportedly blocked multiple contacts at once.
In his post, he explained that while the move surprised many, he doesn’t blame her, suggesting she may have been overwhelmed by constant financial expectations from family members.

The tweet quickly gained traction, racking up over 200,000 views and drawing mixed reactions from social media users.
