Dear LIB readers: Should I collect transport fare from my in-law?

From a male LIB reader. I laughed!
I am an avid reader of your blog and I need advice from LIB house on this issue. I work with a prestigious bank and am OK. I have been dating a girl since January and we are really serious. I have introduced her to my parents and I know hers too, most especially her mom ad sister. Last weekend she took me to her brother's house for introduction, when leaving, her brother gave me transport fare in an envelope which I politely rejected (don't know how much was in the envelop sha). The brother took no harm with the expression on his face. For 3 days after the visit my babe condemned me for not collecting the cash from her brother though it's been settled. But next weekend we are visiting another brother's house, if I am given transport fare again, should I collect?

  2. I don't think there is anything wrong in collecting the money, but it should not become a pattern, like a regular thing

  6. Bro, if you don't feel comfortable collecting transport money offered to you by your in-laws, don't collect it!
    If your girl wants it, she can quickly collect it whenever it's offered to you. Afterall, it's her family.

  7. Next tym collect it.. dey knw u don't need it. It's just a kind gesture welcoming u to d family.she knws ha family n iif she says collect pls doo so dey don't feel insulted

  22. Linda o, U will not kill me o, where do U get all this stories from. Guy I would advice you to dress and act the way you want to be treated. You probably are not presenting yourself as a confident person. Even if you don't have a car, just try to act more confident

  26. Just pray it doesn't happen, but take it no harm done. Maybe when you're leaving, give a couple of bucks to their kid if they have any, so y'all are even. Don't forget to bring a gift too. Nothing too fancy.

    ReplyDelete
  27. DON'T DO IT O. THEY WILL USE IT TO SING FOR YOU IN FUTURE.

    ReplyDelete
  28. No it was a trap. You did right. Your girl is a fool! If you collect transport fare from them it clearly shows that you will not be able to take care of the girl without her family. DO NOT take any thing from them. Politely decline each time.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Which kind Mumu question u dey ask.....Abeg carry ur medicine drink ...Linda pls stop posting crazy post

    ReplyDelete
  30. Why should they give you transport fare? It doesn't make sense ...so politely decline it. They shd give their sister, not you.

    ReplyDelete
  31. How many times will you post this Linda?

    ReplyDelete
  32. If u r not comfortable with it, politely decline!

    ReplyDelete
  33. UNLESS U WANNA HAVE ANOTHER ISSUE WITH UR BABE AGAIN THEN DON'T COLLECT.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Its commendable that u have self pride...but these i presume are older siblings..who see u guys as a young couple just starting out...so go ahead and collect it..its kind of part of our culture to give money to visitors...and family members

    ReplyDelete
  35. When I went with my fiance to my uncle's house,my uncle gave me the t-fare,but my bobo thanked him...but in this case,u shld av collected it sha,that doesn't mean ure begging or wretched..you wld av collected it for good relationship sake make dem no think say u get pride.I think uve got pride though..small one.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Nope no collect...na set up lol..ask ur babe why she wanted u to collect sha abi she wants u to look like u can't provide for urself in front of her fam ni?

    ReplyDelete
  37. HUMMMMM..BROTHER HE WON'T EVEN GIVE YOU AGAIN...BUT IF HE THOSE COLLECT IT TO AVOID ISH WITH YOUR GF..

    ReplyDelete
  38. It depends on which family you are looking at. Collecting it might be good with some families and collecting it might mean something else with another family. Try and talk to your fiancee to know how her family thinks...but on a safer side it's better politely refused. If the person offering you the TP is much more older, there should be no harm.

  39. What you need to do is find out if its their culture just so you are sure it wont be an insult to their cultural practice. But in my own opinion, still refuse it as politely as possible. You are a man now not a boy. You get? Goodluck though and congrats.

  52. This a very childish question..
    They can see you don't have a car, but why should they give you transport fare?, that's an insult/ a test!

    ReplyDelete
  58. My dear, might be a test, might also be an innocent gesture. ur a man, if u don't need It.....don't take it n stand ur ground with her dat its not pride, but u want to prove to her brothers, that you can take care of her. After marriage, if you need it, they wld give gladly witout you askin. Now is d time to make an impression, be wise.

    ReplyDelete
  64. My candid advise is do not collect, they maybe testing you. If they have transport fare or whatever to give, they should give it to their sister. You are not in laws yet you know?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Seriously, i laugh when i read this post... Well, yu rejecting the money is an indication that yu are trying to save ur pride which ladies will never understand and if this brother of hers want to offer yu money again kindly reject again, if ur fiance frowned at ur action, let her knw yu simply dont like the idea and be serious about it but if yu really want the asistance, then accept the money....

    ReplyDelete
  139. I dnt see any harm in collecting d tfare but why would your woman's people offer to give you tfare, mayb you should up your appearance (fashion wise) weneva you are going there. That's if you feel insulted by them giving you tfare. Another thing is that dey may indirectly be telling you to tighten your belt if you must marry their daughter as she is frm a well-to-do-family.

  154. Hummm...its somehow arkward anyways...but seriously,tradition or no tradition,i think issues like this has to do with personality,look at how everything goes,and if it goes well and the 'brother' is far away older than you guys (couples)...then you can collect it.....its nothing...

  161. It is good you refused the money. But na wah you who suppose carry yam,palmoil,rice beans and ugba go your in law house how come his bro is now offering you money? Did you really appeared ok on that visit? Any way you have shown that you don't need transsport. Abeg u no go there with car or some form of transport. Pls don't accept tranport money from you inlaws. Don't disrespect yourself. But why will that bro offer u TP no matter how wealthy he is. Some inlaws ehh

  164. In somr cultures its considered an insult to reject gifts from your inlaws. Even if you dont need the money, collect it then spend it on their sister.

  165. Did U trek there??? Plx use ur brain. Ur gf has no respect for U, if she does she won't quarel wit U for rejecting the first one. Use ur brain nd leave libers alone for advice

  167. SIMPLE ANSWER: NO. WHY? You are a man preparing to marry. One of the requirements/pre-requisites is that you should be financially capable of providing the basic needs for your family to be. Transport fare to and fro wherever you need to go inclusive. As for your girl, reorient her mind before marriage o, or this seemingly innocuous scenario will metamorphose into something else later.

  172. If it is not a cultural thing, is it a spiritual thing? I can't understand why you will give a grown man "transport money"

    ReplyDelete
  173. Consider it payment for showing interest in their sister/daughter. don't expect more after marriage o! Just joking. I think if you feel awkward about it then don't collect it. Let you lady collect it if she feels the need to.

    ReplyDelete
  174. Collect oh if dats what will make ur r/ship stay strong pls bro try n overcome them it doesn't mean u cannot afford a T-fair atleast u dey work
