There's nothing as bad as being forced to take responsibility for anything especially if you aren't ready. Be it pregnancy, chairing a wedding committee or even a funeral committee, it needs time and planning, not just being ambushed to take roles you aren't ready for.

Well, a Kenyan man is ranting about his aunt after she forced him to chair a funeral committee for one of their family members. According to this Kenyan man, his cousins (the bereaved), are not supportive and a year ago when he lost his mother, none of them (him and his family) helped out.

He further says that he has also been  forced to contribute not less than Sh 10k ($100)

"I need your advise. My Aunt passed on yesterday after kuwa mgonjwa kwa muda mrefu. Sasa shida yangu ni kuwa, my mother aliaga last Year but my cousins wenye Mama yao amekufa jana hawakushirikiana na sisi tulipokuwa na msiba.

They came during the burial day na after kumaliza hata hawakukaa kujulia watu hali. Now they have appointed me as the chairman of the organizing committee Nairobi branch and being the chairman ati I must contribute not less than sh 10,000.

Should I go to those meetings ama hata Mimi nitokee siku ya mazishi? Hii noma yote ililetwa na sister yao mmoja hujifanya ni kama yeye ndio mungu. She wants everyone to worship her because she's loaded. She controls kila mtu kwa familia yao. Alikam home akachukua mathe na kumpeleka kwake ati aishi huko. Tulipomuliiza mbona kafanya hivo aliturushia matusi nikastuka. Nao mabro za huyo cuzo wakatujamia ati tumekasirisha sister yao," he wrote.

Check out some of the advice from social media users

Moratta: Just do your part and forget what they did to you, be an eagle, not a crow.

Guru: Tenda wema nenda zako. Organise but do not contribute as indicated. Give according to your means. Pole kwa msiba.

Introvert: Be unlike them, bro. Saidia.

Conoiseur: Is there any repercussion that would happen if you fail to bring anything less than the 10k? I guess not. Instead of backing out, help them if if you have the ability to. But don't let anyone make the decisions and set conditions for you. Do what you can out of your own volition.

Templar: Just help them, jitolee vile unaweza and do it with a loving heart. SOmetimes it just takes one act of kindness to change a whole persons life!

Icecube: Just contribute what you can but don't ghost on them. Ghosting on them will just reaffirm to them that they did the right thing to act like that during and before your mom's funeral.

Omundu: If you can, please help. Never pay a wrong with a wrong. Tenda wema, you will be the winner.

Somesay: Soma bibilia: Do unto others before they do unto you

Bongo: Subdue them without a fight, just help according to your means, embarrassment will consume them, family politics ni moto wa kuotewa mbali. Very divisive
