Ejlif:

TLDR; My parents want me to inform on my sibling. They suspect he dropped or was kicked out of college and now want me to go find out if that’s the case. Where would that put me?

Good morning elders. Thank you for making your way into this urgent sitting.

My name is Ejlif, son of Thomas of the Stockman clan. I’m in a dilemma and I could use your advice.

My blood brother, Morten, is a few years younger than me and is supposed to be finishing his degree right now in a local University. We’re not very close so we don’t talk much and our conversations are very casual, brief and rare. Therefore, we never talk about what we’ve been into, thinking or planning - I didn’t know siblings can be that distant. Anyway here’s the gist. My parents suspect that the guy dropped out of college an year or two ago without their (and my) knowledge and they now want me to go the the University’s offices to ascertain that he’s attending classes and isn’t suspended, expelled or has deferred studies.

I have to say that growing up, he was in a way the favorite son - jovial, outgoing, sociable and a lot of other things I wasn’t. But he was reckless, irresponsible at times and quite hard-headed. (He imbibes booze and might turn into a sod soon. He keeps the company of hoodrats and losers, does weed, and fucks bimbos - yeah, I’ve gathered that much). I finished school without much fuss myself and immediately began surviving on my own… I digress.

Swali nyeti ni hili. Would it be wise to do what they’re asking me to? Just walk into the offices, find out he’s no longer a student, that he’s been lying and ‘eating’ fees (yet fukara is synonymous with my family’s name), inform them accordingly and ruin my relationship with him for good? Or should I let my mother do it so she can go make a scene at the office, before having a heart attack and fainting?

For now, please ignore the family dynamics and advise on what you think should be my next logical move. Ahsanteni sana for giving me audience. Bows out.

All I can tell you is that enough murder cases of children murdering parents has emanated from this one issue of dropping out of school and pretending to still be in school. Tread very careful least yall become the next Warunge family. Handle this matter with alot of care least it turns ugly and you people end up dead and on the news.

Boys do worse things all the time so it’s not a matter of life and death. Even if he has dropped out, he can still get back so it’s no biggie. Personally I avoid getting involved in my parents issues with my siblings though they always try to rope me in. Let your dad go check and also let him know how to handle the confrontation least he gets killed.
