This is why i don't really give a f ... That way you wont think of anybody's entitlement mentality or what they think about you . I'd give you and go my way without waiting for your thank you or bla bla bla crap so you know it doesn't really matter to me 9 Likes 3 Shares |

sukkot: That is why they became rich in the first place, by saving and investing their money. I see a lot of broke people squander the little they have and i see individuals with over $1 million in the account fight over 20cents fees charged on their accounts. 20 Likes 4 Shares |

Skyview01:lol it's very true. There is this rich guy who was worth like 4 million dollars, he would only flush his toilet once a day because of water bills. But truly the more money you have the more you want to hold onto it . The less you have the more you want to spend it. It's weird 14 Likes 2 Shares |

sukkot: I used to work in a bank and at month ends, accounts and transaction fees are charged. We have an instruction to reverse fees ONLY if the customers asked for it. Most rich people will 100% of the time ask for a reversal of the smallest amount and lots of the poor people never ask for their money back. I have seen up to $180 reversible charges in transaction fees in a poor person's account and could have been reversed if they had asked for it but, guess what, they are either too proud, shy or ignorant to ask. The distinction between being rich and poor goes deep into mentality and build up of individuals. If you give 20million dollars each to all the young people today aged 20 years, in 25 years, the rich will still be rich and the poor would have squandered the 20 million dollars and still remain poor. I give to people that are really in need; the motherless babies home, orphanage homes and the likes of that. 22 Likes 5 Shares |

Skyview01:i totally agree with you. It's a mindset. Being rich is a 24 7 job. You have to always be alert and assertive and scrutinise everything. It's hardwork. That's why most of those guys don't look very well. If you see a man who looks very well put together and heavily manicured and his hAirline is on point ? That's a mildly rich or comfortable man but if you see a guy who looks unkempt and rough looking and nervous and not very healthy ? ThTs a billionaire lol 12 Likes 1 Share |

sukkot: 100% agree. I had a Nigerian lady walk up to me, Gucci bag, Gucci top and pullovers and looked very rich with a pair of gucci sunglasses to match but all her accounts in the negatives. I also have this Vietnamese guy who wears the same shoe everyday and was always in the bank early in the morning to save money from his drycleaning business. I had asked him once, why he did not buy a new pair of shoe and he told me he had no money. Mind you he had about $500,000 in the cheqing account at the time. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

Omo I learnt this a long time ago. These guys can feel so entitled!!! As long as your salary is given to you as at when due,I don't owe you jack ...I no dey give shi Shi...that" onyeoma Cy" is not for me.... asides the fact that they act entitled,they are still ungrateful...I rather give to total strangers who would appreciate!!! Plus d moment you stop giving them anything you will see their true colors....they don't do anything free for you once they know they stand to gain or benefit nothing!!! 8 Likes 2 Shares |

This also happens amongst family members. If you want to test how loyal a family member is to you, just lose your job, then you will see their true colors. I always tell people never to make anyone completely dependent on them because the day you fail to deliver, you will become an enemy. I also try not to depend on people so I don't end up behaving like those ingrates. I am currently assisting a teenage boy whose parents don't care of his existence. But I am careful about the way I go about it because I noticed the dude is becoming too entitled. That feeling that you owe him because you have been assisting him. I try to space the times I assist so he won't think I am his responsibility. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

It's general human pattern for most people who don't think. Give once, they thank you. Give twice, they expect a third time. Give the third time, they become entitled. 18 Likes 7 Shares |

I think Na you dey reason am too much... I stay somewhere around the Island during holidays, our gateman is also a young man... Na if we give am, him go collect o... If we no get to give am, we no dey even look him face... Nobody send him to help us with trash or any other job... So, since we don't send him on any work outside his duty, we no send him mama o If peradventure we send him on an errand outside his duty, we try to compensate him ... Shikena 12 Likes 1 Share |

Lol, there are these guys at the bus stop towards my area, they will always hail to give them something, I've given all of them once each(individually). I will just ignore them anytime they tried to ask as they always tried to whenever I'm going home. The worst part is that the day you need them, they will still want you to pay, so I just ignore them. Another na those boys wey dey sell snacks for people or security at the malls, I will be like u no dey collect salary?? 4 Likes 1 Share |

That security guard is prolly of igbo origin ... They don't appreciate anything that isn't instant life changing. They see such generosity as their birthright but they can never in turn do it for anyone else 1 Like 1 Share |
