janykute:

Nothing like an african culture,rather human nature.Oyibos too are jealous.

chidyke77:

That her attitude is a minor jealousy in human being bt may grow to hatred,envy and other evil intention to bring her down.
The best prayer for your relatives neighbours and friends is to wish them well and successful too because any diabolical means to bring u down always comes frm them.
So pray for her children and your cousin to succeed too because this is hw it starts.

dominique:

help me tell him.
i dont know why we Africans like bringing ourselves down.

kokoye:

@ post.

your auntie's comments does not sound like jealousy - she just wants the best for her kids as well. is there anything wrong with that?

The jealous and evil nigerian woman will not talk about it infront of you - they will just be wishing evil behind ones back.
You are the one trying to insinuate and create a mountain where there is none.

Rumor mongerer.

Maybe you are also jealous of your sister and you are just trying to deflect it.

sophy09:

It is not only relatives that are jealous of one's success. Friends, neighbors and at times people you do not know. I was in

the bus, the traffic was something else. There was a young guy driving a latest car, he was trying to switch lanes and he

begged the bus driver for space in front of him. The guy in the bus screamed at the driver NO! He was so angry, "No, don't

give him any chance at all, all these rich men children. They  think they can just do anything they want." People in the bus

just turned to look at him. The driver was forced to ask if he knew him before. So my sister outsiders sef they jealous

people.

i will share my experience and lesson learnt.

i have a mentor where i work, he has been in the system for 10yrs and i just got hired then, he helped me settled in and kind of be on the look out for me concerning my career path and other office bureaucracy. One day i mentioned my pay to him and bam the next day his comments became very inflammatory and his attitude isn't very warm any more. thou i was wise not to tell him the exact amount it didn't help issues.

2ND episode

I got promoted last month , 2steps ahead of my colleague and now he is raising hell that i didn't tell him about it right from onset, he is not talking to me now.

I'm yet to understand why i owe him that line of story , his argument is since he is my friend ( not boyfriend oh ) i would've told him right from onset.

The only smooth relationship i have in the office now is with a female friend of mine and i guess its because i have not told her any thing. my family members don't take No as an answer or later now concerning their demands just because i shared my goodnews with them.

Lesson learnt
Say less to people, friends, family members,colleagues,church members, pastors etc,
