I am writing this with a heavy heart because my so call friends are huge disappointment to me,physically and online.

It's a long story but I'll try to make it short as possible.Some years ago I opened a Facebook account for myself to share pictures with families,my mom and sisters especially,I posted my wedding photos,people were liking them and congratulating us,before I knew it,friend requests were coming in from people that I knew many many years ago and from people that I never met before.My wife being an European said no do not accept people that you don't know,guess what?I went against her wish and accepted all.

Few days later many started writing on my wall,Thanking me for accepting them,I felt satisfied,months later many help requests started rolling in from school fees,hospital bills to visa and invitation letter.

I sent money to some with a very touchy stories,one particular man said he had visa but no money for ticket,I requested that he scan the visa to me to see and after that I can buy him the ticket,few days later his stories changed,to that the travel agent would not release the passport and visa until he has paid the agency fee of 50k.

I said ok I'll give him 30k and he go and rally round his friends and families for 20k and after which if I have seen the visa I'll buy him the ticket.to make long story short,I never heard from him till date.

Many more stories like this,another from a nairalander whom I was going to buy a land from,but he was a fraud,unfortunately for him the oba of isolo is my club member,I rang the oba and he confirmed that the guy is a thief,months later,because he (the guy)has my email address,a friend request came through my FB,without hesitation I accepted him without knowing who he was,few weeks later he PM ME that he's stuck in Ethiopia and he needed $500 to go back to Nigeria,I felt terrible for him,and I started investigating to see if he's telling the truth.i typed his name into my email book,his email add popped up,shit,is that same guy.

The one that actually got me to come here is with my wife.Some months ago we had students reunion,which I took my wife with me,I intro her to some of my Nigerians pals,my wife is a friendly person,guess what?our Nigerian bros mistook her friendliness to fancy.

Friendship is not about what you can get.

This got me to ask you,do Nigerians know the meaning of friendship?

Stop Generalizing... it's annoying.

Those are not friends, they are opportunists.

Unfortunate that you happened on the wrong crew but not all Nigerians are like that.

You are a Nigerian and i don't think you are like that.

How am I mugu?that I chose to help someone that the son is in the hospital and they won't commence treatment becos he has no deposit or because I want help someone that his visa is about to expire simply because he has no money for ticket.What if they were telling the truth.
