we all know the saying that goes "show me your friend and I will tell you who you are" over time I have seen this belief fail sometimes. I befriend people that are almost the opposite of me and we still get along so well. Most of my friends are Extroverts, flirty and hates books, unlike me. I have a very close friend that gambles for fun, for three years now I have never play gamble no matter how desperate I get, I don't even know how to play bet9ja even if I wanted to and he on his own side have never followed me to a brothel no matter how konji hold am. I have stop judging people by their friends, I either get to know you or ask people that have had deals with you. A guy once told me that he stopped greeting me when he learnt that my friend is gay ( I never knew until we left school) bcus he thought I was gay too, seeing that I don't associate with girls much. I only wonder how many people he have told. There was a runz girl that every body knew to be a dupe and a thief. She can't help stealing from and cheating people. All the guys that have booked her have said that they loosed something. she came to my guys room to beg for chair and stole his money on the table. On day we had a contest to supply chin-chin at a party and thus girl's closest, best and seemingly only friend was in the snacks business. We rejected her cuz we thought she is a dupe like her friend but due to time we gave it to her as she was the only one available, her integrity shamed me. The quality and quantity of the product were top notch, and the price was OK. Imagine she called me to tell me that one of her ingredients is not in the market now and so the chin chin would taste slightly different, that I can either go to another person or she would give me a slight discount for it. I told people of it and they said that is how she is.

When you become a pastor, imam, politician or MD/CEO, you will understand the proverb. When you have built a great name and you don't want it soiled, you will distance yourself from some friends
