Kelechi isn't as bad as the OP is trying to paint him. You can't remember everyone from your childhood

Is it not same Kelechi who took his best friend with him to England and it was reported that he even bought a house for him over there? That his best friend (from childhood) acts as his PA and everything.

Sometime last year, one of his old friend and PA in Owerri was involved in an auto crash and lost his life. It was reported that he works under Kelechi from Owerri, and he is one of dem old boys.

Op, maybe you guys didn't keep in touch for many years before he blew. He probably can't remember everyone.

Actually, I can't remember all my friends, but I do remember all my closest friends


Arcade Fire Lyrics
"Suburban War"

Let's go for a drive
And see the town tonight
There's nothing to do but I don't mind when I'm with you

This town's so strange
They built it to change
And while we sleep we know the streets get rearranged

And my old friends, we were so different then
Before your war against the suburbs began
Before it began

Now the music divides
Us into tribes
You grew your hair so I grew mine
You said the past won't rest
Until we jump the fence
And leave it behind

My old friends, I can remember when
You cut your hair
I never saw you again
Now the cities we live in
Could be distant stars
And I search for you
In every passing car

The night's so warm
Yeah, the night's so warm
I've been living in the shadows of your song
Living in the shadows of your song

In the suburbs I
I learned to drive
And you told me we would never survive
So grab your mother's keys we leave tonight

But you started a war
That you can't win
They keep erasing all the streets we grew up in

Now the music divides
Us into tribes
You choose your side and I'll choose my side

All my old friends, they don't know me now
Oh-oh
All my old friends, are staring through me now
Oh-oh
All my old friends, they don't know me now
All my old friends, they don't know me now

All my old friends wait

It is not the fault of the people who we have helped or mingled with to forget us especially when they are doing well in life.out of %100 only %5 will come back to show appreciation or reciprocation that is the nature of life for you.I feel the guy's pain sha, but be sure that there is a reason for every life event. people change, things happen but the most important thing is that LIFE GOES ON.

People like you talk trash.
horllar007:
So when you finally gets his attention, what will now happen call u over to do what exactly... you aren't an agent neither do you play football, this guy was once your childhood friend and he moved on so if he is around, will you be following him upandan like his hand bag or P. A.. Sir, when people try to move higher, being a friend to such person, you should have done the same even if it not through football but now I guess if he calls u over, you will still collect the money he will give u��

Life is like a moving train, if you missed yours, wait for the next one. It's not easy to keep up with those behind, when you even tried some of them will slow you down.
Sometimes your journey can even be truncated. When your friends leave you behind try not to hold it against them rather plan how to meet up or pass them, overtaking is allowed. Dont forget that you have left some persons behind too without looking out for them.

The truth is that you can't remember everyone you grew up with. The role you play in one's life would determine if that person would remember you when he/she get to the top or not. Attitude matters a lot. We have some friends, if you carry them along, they will bring you down.

Yes he owns the guy nothing but let me inform you that, that picture speaks a lot of things.
Me as an individual I can not forget my old pals now that I have a little. During the Christmas period I use to move about so much in the village looking for my old friends.
In some search I will discover that the person I am looking for had died many years ago.
This is life
you are so right, I had a heartbreaking experience last year when I visited my old neighbourhood and went to see one of my childhood friend, I was so shocked when they told me he passed away 3years ago. Mehn.... Instantly all the memories of him began to flow in my head and I couldn't hold my tears. The truth is every friends made in stardom are not ur real friends coz if u go below the level they will still leave u but ur childhood friend has seen ur worst state and will still love and accept u for who u are....... Neymar is keeping his old friends closer because he understands how this world plays.

Do not expect too much from people to avoid disappointment. Work hard and trust God for your breakthrough in life. Lamentations of "neglect"by someone in whose life you have not invested much portrays you as a lazy person. In life, you keep meeting new friends as you climb the ladder of success. Prove your relevance in his life now, I know many like you are feeling the same way towards him. Every successful man will naturally be attracted to many but their freedom of association should also be respected by others. I am not sure that you are still dinning with all your childhood friends. If you are still with them, then your circle of influence has not gone beyond where you were born. I do not forget my childhood friends but those who pester my life due to our childhood affiliations, I keep my distance so that I can focus on what I do for a living. If you become as successful as Kelechi tomorrow, you will also be accused of neglect by your childhood friends. Stay focused and move on with your life.

See my brother, really nobody owes us anything. This is the reason why we do things for people not because it is the right thing to do but because we will benefit later. Then why do we vilify our young ladies when they only date you for what you will give them. Why do we complain of nepotism, padi padi government and throaway merit. So you expect kelechi to leave working with people who will take me higher to begin looking for Op who might not offer him anything, only to remind him how they played football together and start making demands. This leaning is very manipulative so to speak. Many of our brothers abroad are giving their savings out so as not to look bad even to their own detriment. The world is big like a football field and we can all work hard to achieve our dream. I agree with you if they are close firends closer than a brother.
You will understand life one day. Even kelechi we are talking about was helped by someone. Nobody makes it to the top on their own. Forget all these talk. You owe someone something just as someone owes you something

Kelechi is just a typical naija guy. Most will forget their childhood friends and spend on olosho and irrelevances.

All they keep saying is HE OWES U NOTHING.
When u are successful in life, make ur friends and families successful with every connection u have such as getting them visas to go hustle in better countries or setting up a business for them. U may think u are helping them, but u are helping urself indirectly.
We have ex footballers, musicians or boxers who lost everything. When u touch ur family n friends life positively, some of them will help u from falling.

I simply don't think writing such an emotional epistle is the best way to get to "your old-time" friend.

He's successful and he's definitely not the cause of your problem. Hence, objectively he owes you nothing.

However, reach him through twitter, emails and other personal channels not writing a pitiful essay.

He is not God who blesses us. Would you have written this nonsense if you were doing well?

MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND HAS ROSE TO STARDOM AND HAS FORGOTTEN THAT I EXIST.

Kelechi Iheanacho was my childhood friend, we grew up together in the same neighborhood Nekede Old Road Owerri IMO state. We played the street balls together under the rain and scorching sun. We attended the same primary school; Unique Nursery and primary school Umualum Nekede No 4 b/stop as at then but has relocated to a new site now. We did almost everything together but today grace has found you and you've rose and clapped your way into the corridors of fame and stardom, you're now a celebrity not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

I remember how we conquered the environments of Ama - ato. Azuatalam, Chigozirim known as Podosky and you and I. If we are not there the games won't be fun but you've forgotten so fast and now mingles with those that you met after being famous.

We played an academy club "Danish" together for years before you moved to Taye academy how can you just forget those days so fast?

I remember how happy i was when i watched you play for Nigeria under 17 in UAE 2013.. I was not surprised when you conquered the world in that stage because i knew how good you were prior to then. Your senior brother Uchenna couldn't give me your contact because we are no more on the same pedestrian, you've moved higher.

Hear this,

I'm writing this not because hunger has finished my life but because a picture with you now will serve as a story i will tell to my children. Don't forget that the bodyguards and security personnel guarding you from people coming close to you, were not there when we use to go to the bush in Uzo ubi those days in search of riped fruits. It pains my heart that you've forgotten most of us who suffered with you and grew up together with you in the hood.

It's hard for me to get reach to you again as i've followed you in all social media platforms, Instagram, twitter, e.t.c. But it's easy if you want to get to me, if really you want to.

Please whoever that can reach out to Kelechi Iheanacho should help me and show him this letter and tell him it was written by Bala as i was nicknamed those days.

Rising to stardom doesn't mean you should forget those who grew up with you. I still remember paying for some matches we watched together at the viewing centres even game centres for PS2 (PlayStation). The things we did together are so enormous that i can't put all in writing.

Friends, i know Kelechi Iheanacho may not see this but you that is reading it now, don't forget the people with you now when luck shines on you.

Don't call them lazy, poor or feel irritated when you see them coming to you. We all started from somewhere and grace found you.


Godswill Uche (A.K.A Bàlà)



It is well..Godswill I know some people will laugh at you but Pls don't give up and don't lose hope.Keep believing.God will send helpers to you .
I have been in your shoes before until God intervene in my case.
You are not an abandon project in the hand of God.
