In this life not everybody you see really deserves a helping hand. I can tell you that some poor people are proud than some elites. We once had a neighbour who we were very close to. As in family-friends. So one day i saw the trouser that my friend was wearing, the trouser was under-sized for him because he had grown taller than the trouser's length. And that is even one of his best trousers he wore to church. So one day i picked some of my favourites clothings and jeans trousers even palm shoes. I ironed the clothes and some trousers and presented it to him. He was very glad and happy and showed his mum, the woman pretended to be happy about it sha. But till date, i have never seen my friend wearing anyone of them. The thing pain me o because i still loved the clothes and shoes i gave him. I am even confused maybe it is my friend or his mother that are ingrate. What do you call this type of attitude? Happy new month! 67 Likes 9 Shares

Jashub:1 pair of stock jean is currently 20k at Mandilas in Lagos, long sleeve shirts is about 15k, shoes starts from 35k and above. Imagine giving someone all that and he disposes it in the trash and you're here saying his way no pure. Do you know what it takes to give out clothes that are still very useful to you in this Tinubu's era and the gift isn't appreciated? Some of you just condemn people recklessly without putting yourselves in their position. 281 Likes 18 Shares |

Definitely this is not help.... Something you did while expecting thanks is not an help... Either he wore the cloth or not shouldn't be your problem.... You have done your best for him and why not wait for God to reward you.... You never can tell the guy might cherish the cloth to the extent of keeping it as one of his best cloth that need to be wear while going to an important occasion...simply because you haven't seen the guy put on the cloth doesn't means he didn't appreciate... 102 Likes 9 Shares |

There is nothing bad in helping people because this your story no follow at all How can you give out something to someone only to start checking if they use it or not? It means you are not comfortable helping that person. Help people at your own comfort. If you know you are not comfortable helping then don't do it 29 Likes 2 Shares |

nifemi25:exactly... op, when you help someone genuinely, do not expect anything in return from them... you might get disappointed.. although, as humans, we love to be appreciated, I understand, but when you truly want to help, let that be the least thing on your mind, whether they appreciated you or not shouldn't be a problem, you've done your part... only expect your reward from your Creator. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Never Give Pple what they did NOT ask for.  When you do, They Hardly value it. They feel you are Mocking their Situation.  If You Wake up in the Morning and Take Rice and Beans to your Poor Neighbour, the Person will eat the Food but will be feeling like 'You told you I can't Feed myself, Are you saying I am so Poor?'  One has to Be Careful when helping Nigerians. 95 Likes 5 Shares |

Many factors can come in: 1. How do you expect your friend (who is a guy) to feel wearing that clothe or shoe that the community is fond of seeing on you? This is why probably won't see him wear it. He could only wear it in a new area probably where he will spend an holiday or something but not in your area. 2. For some diabolical reasons or fears, his mom may have advised him not to wear any. I know one Big man in my area from nowhere brought me a short rugged jeans saying he wants to dash me. My mum gladly accepted it with a smile but she never allowed me touch it. 3. Other reasons best known to him and his Mom that you and I don't know. Whichever way, it's not a good thing from your side if you think you need to see him on the these wears and regret giving him in the first place. It may hinder your blessings. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

@OP don't conclude this way. You might be so surprised to know that the clothes and shoes you gave the guy might be one of the most cherished outfit and he feels he would only wear it for 'important' event or occasion. Besides, you shouldn't keep looking out to know if he wears it or not. Just help/give; don't think it twice. 10 Likes |

it's your type will help someone and who won't give them space to breath. You gave out cloth and you're still monitoring to know when they wore it, so you'll have orgasm, abi nau. 5 Likes |

People prefer kindness by getting Food stuff or money rather than clothes. The reason isn't far fetched. You can be in a gathering and tell everyone your friend is wearing a cloth you dashed him. What could be more embarrassing? Just be kind to people regardless 7 Likes |

Your neighbour's mum's action was totally in order. It's you who didn't understand their personality. Although I don't know their tribe, but I know for a fact that some people find it appaling to be gifted used clothes by their colleagues or contemporary. Especially when they didn't beg for it. It's an indirect way of saying that you are better than them. It's hurtful to their pride and prestige. If your neighbour had begged you directly or indirectly, that would have been a different case. Even I too often forbid my wife from gifting her children's used clothes to anyone around. She'd rather take them to the beggars at the roadside. A good neighbour should be conscious of other people's pride and feelings. Do not do anything that will hurt their pride. PS- some people have the superstitious believe that collecting used clothes from another person is tantamount to surrendering their destiny to them. I don't judge them though, this is Africa, the land of superstition  11 Likes 1 Share |

Hey, take it easy. Your buddy hasn't crossed any lines. He likely plans to wear the clothes, just not around here. Believe me, he's really thankful. If you're unsure, just ask him to show you the clothes to confirm he still has them. Shikena |

I’ve seen poor people do these. They believe if they were the clothes you give them, it will steal their star, their grace or whatever the fvck they concort in their heads 4 Likes |

Testiebobo: You will find that he sold those clothes for a pittance. Poverty often completely fks with people's heads to the point where they do not understand value. More so when they get something without hustling for it. 1 Like |
