Op,

You really don't need to come on here to rant about your friends and family.

Take charge of your situation.

If you are in a position to assist, assist! If you cannot, simply tell them.

zeezahbee:
Big daddy stop lying. How are you able to make $6k a month when u earn just $15/hr. I believe a full time job is 40hr/wk and that makes you earn just $600/wk. tax is not included ooo.

Abeg gerrahere my friend. You and the OP are same same

$15 * 15 hour per day is how much ??
Multiply it by 5 days a week
What's your answer ??
Then multiply your answer by 4 weeks a month.
Do you know if i do other jobs ??


Do you also know the nature of the jobs i do ??

OP stop feeling so important,a primary 6 certificate trader in Alaba,,Ladipo and trade fair gives more than this and nobody hears of this,there's this young ibo dude in lekki that runs an IT support outlet to telecoms companies,that pays house rents and school fees of his junior staffs,like drivers and gatemen.....so please park well,when you make good money,u can start ur charity work ...All this attention seeking noise makers!

I always say it, staying in abroad does nt guarantee u being successful but 3k is 3000naira

persius555:
Simply send multiple texts to everyone asking them to lend you 3,000 dollars, u go see as all of them go run leave u like say u carry ebola.

Lol @ this strategy.

Makes sense.

I'm not so good at saying NO too. What I do is ignore. I hardly pick calls, don't reply facebook PM etc.

As a young man that justed started working in Lagos years back, my father xmas disposition landed me in serious financial crisis.

Now, other than my parents, a couple of siblings,family members once in a while, I no dey share money anyhow again o

I don't even pick calls, as I know 90% of calls from certain people are to ask for money which I find difficult to turn down.

This doesn't however mean I don't give. I actually do, probably more than an average person, but I've become very selective.

I strongly believe "it took a whole village to raise a child" so that child must give back to the "village" (I.e family). As a student in school, I know how I also taxed my brothers and uncles.

"I don't have a high school diploma but i make over $6000 every month.
I work for 5 days a week at $15 per hour."

bros, the bolded does not match up. I assume that would have been a typo error, because even with 3 full time job with same hourly pay, u still won't earn $6000 every month.

shalom!

$15 * 15 Hours per day is how much ??
Multiply your answer by 5 (number of days i work in a week)
What's your answer ??
Multiply you answer by 4 (the number of weeks in a month)
Tell me what you get.
Do you know if i do rack up some hood deals ??

astrodome:


You mean I should send myself to my death (for that is the reward for drug trafficking in Indonesia) to avoid them?

Your facebook posts will say a lot about you.... May be you show off mostly in your posts if you think they are not monitoring you on facebook you are deceiving yourself....... If you keep a low key profile and not show off they won't bother you.

15 hours a day * 22.5 working days a month * $15 per hr =$5.06k per month

That's the gross pay and 75 hrs a week is not sustainable

Stop telling porkies

Helping and being kind when you can isn't bad but when it's done to the detriment of your wellbeing then it becomes a fault.
Take a stand and be mature about it telling them know you have other financial obligations.
Your true friends/family will understand and those who won't understand simply don't want your well being.
A man who gives all he has can't/won't have enough for the rainy day

I don't know why u bother giving advice to this people...when people give and complain,simple!.........they don't have what they r given out,but out of pride they still give to announce "I have arrived"

Kizyte:

How were you allowed to live with four kids in the U.S? That's supposed to be irresponsible.

Family of 4 does not mean 4children. ...And you have insulted the guy..

Well, we are in the same shoes. My Jss1 English teacher calls me frequently to send card and buy him some others. My siblings my dad and pals too.
According to one man advice (he's just a pal to me on the street), he said, you can give if you know it wouldn't affect. But, if it would tell them the gospel truth.Indeed,they will hate u thinking u have but dont want to give. If them ask of 3k and u can only give 1k and it wouldn't affect u. Why not?

I could write an epistle here too. Think over this, if you say yes to everything and everybody, you will say yes to the devil and poverty.
Here's how I handle mine.
Every month, I divide my earnings in %s,
10% is for Charity, when ppl come to me for money I give to 1st come/the most desperate case, the rest must wait till next month. Even if the sky in their village is falling, they must hold it with a bamboo till next month. Then those I'm giving, I tell them I cant dash them the money and they must payback, within 3 - 6months max (just a trick cus I know 80% won't pay back). All those who don't pay back have never received more than 10k after that from me. I tell them point blank that I can't loan them more cus they weren't faithful in d last one. I dont make enemies, I don't spend stupidly.

Meanwhile do u know that $3,000 can get u a nice plot in Lagos every month?

Now, you know the reason for my very poor phone call habit.

BabyDaddy20:
When i was in Nigeria i was hustling, busting my ass just to make #300 everyday , people called me all kinds of names,no one wanted to help me, no one fuccks with me.
No girl wanted to be my girlfriend.

Then, God answered my prayers & i traveled to America, those same people who called me useless & insane are the ones begging me for money now.
Though, i bust my ass here working, i make a very good amount of money every month.
I don't have a high school diploma but i make over $6000 every month.
I work for 5 days a week at $15 per hour.

I have many Nigerian girls wanting to date me.
Nigerian guys who called me useless begging me for cars & money.
I don't block them on Facebook, i only hide my presence on Facebook & chat with those i wanna chat with.

15 dollar per hour is not up to 6k per month even if you work full time. Some people can lie eeh

I read your comment and am like ''Can you imagine what this guy just type""..So giving out to people when is not convenient for you is PRIDE, Uhhhhh.People can be very funny, am learning everyday. So this is what people think about me when I have to go out of my comfort zone just to help them. ....Such is life.....What you just type eehen change me.

in summary,you can't give what u don't have! Read one thread I posted,I gave a couple 300k for their rent since 2011 ,they've not paid me back,so I don't lend out monies,I can't let go anymore.........when we were in school,our parent pay our fess and bills ,convenient or not and they don't complain,because of love,giving should be out of love and not social status!
