If na you what will you do?

What’s the fellow complaining for?
He can jolly well find his way to America, since he thinks the roads are all paved in gold.
What does he offer others on his own?

Gratitude is the key.

You are not entitled to anybody's money unless they are your parents.

It's free money, if 50 naira is too small for you, you can dash someone else.

What is wrong with people?

Keep your money. If you don't have to give, don't give. Don't insult people in the guise of giving. If I dey sell food, person reach my front ask for food, I no go pour food for floor tell am make e go chop am for floor then expect am to show gratitude. I go rather tell am say food no dey.


I no go invite person come party give am rice, no meat, no spoon, tell am make e chop like that expect am to chop with gratitude after all, no be him money I take cook. E no make any sense. If I no invite am to the party, him dignity go dey intact.

The guy might be testing him for all I know. Don't be surprised if the guy has something big in stock for him. What if he has a big project he wants to start here, and he's looking for some1 responsible and reliable to handle the project. He might be doing that for a start to reconnect with him.

Most of your friends /families abroad first convert the money into naira before sending them. They still relate with you like you're both spending naira even if they are doing well over there.

you can literally reject the money or give it out to someone else if you are too big for it.

But trust me, if he has 1billion naira to give out next time, he definitely won't remember ungrateful entitled friends.

Your comment is the only reasonable comment I've seen so far. You just spoke my mind.

It is better you even send shoes, or other items than send a paltry $12. Is there any reasonable thing u can buy with $12 in the US apart from food and groceries?

Nothing else bro. Even the food and groceries it will get you is the junk category.

Wetin me go come do bayii. A close friend of mine that went to US like 10 years ago nko. The guy travelled to US through the help of God and me. He promised heaven and earth when leaving,he called me at the airport,even when they were on transit in Qatar he called. He's now a citizen,he brought his aunty in,that one is also a citizen now. Bought motor for mum and dad,he even bought for their last born. He came home last year to open a mighty mansion in our town. To cut the long story short,i message my guy some months ago to ask for financial assistance of which have never ask since he travelled. Baba said US economy is bad,that there is no work presently. And this same guy was pooping 2 large bottle of champagne on his whatsapp status. I just laugh(bitter laughter).
According to Portable 2023,he said "who go help you,no go stress you"
Thank you🏃‍♂️

Entitlement mentality coming from a person who has probably never worked a day in his life. It's the same mentality they have with widows and their husbands' wealth. Feeling entitled is one hell of a drug. He can return the money.
Widows n their husbands wealth is different. He must have written a will. Or if he has a big company the brother will definitely take over while de kids a still growing. But his houses should be for his kids. Unless where he has to many houses, u can give his brothers some.

Entitlement mentality will kill some people.

What’s entitlement mentality? U people just write without connecting your brains to your fingers!

There are things you don’t give people. If you do, you don’t just disrespect them but you also yourself denigrate yourself and reduce your worth.

How can u call someone and tell him you know about a hardship in a particular place, ask him to send his account details only for you to send $12.8.
After 18 years abroad. If abroad no pay am make he return. Or should we say he helped the guy do the conversion and then say ok 20k is enough for am I don’t get

A neighbor of mine called me on Saturday and was complaining bitterly about his Bossom friend.

He told me his friend travelled to the US in 2008 and after a few calls they lost contacts. Last week his friend messaged him and said he's aware of the hardship in naija and asked him to send his account details. My neighbor did and after a while he received an alert of 20k. I said wow!.. that's a miracle. but he hushed me and said I should let him finish.


He said immediately he did the conversion it came to 12.8 dollars. He now said after 16 years it 12 Dollar the friend could send to him that that's an insult.
I tried to make him understand the friend may not be doing well over there but he said the guy is doing well that he's weighing the naira value of the money and feels 20k is big money. He said he feels insulted. Me I just carry my two long legs Waka leave my ungrateful neighbor.

Is my neighbor right and did his friend do wrong by sending that kind of amount? 12 Dollars...

To me the friend did not do any wrong but my neighbor feels he could do better.that 12 Dollar is like 1,200 hundred naira to them over there.

Guys what will you do if you were my neighbor?
One of the reasons the rich always avoid the poor.
Entitlement mentality is very very wrong. Please ask your friend how much he is expecting from his friend abroad

Dou I hate ungrateful people. But the US friend is wicked.

Those black people abroad normally weigh dollar value to its naira before they give.

Have you witnessed foreigners gifting money gift to Nigerians? Either they are in abroad or here. They gift you money without weighing the naira value. I have seen a white man gift 100 dollar note to a beggar in lekki.

It's just the heart of a black man. Your friend is not ungrateful but insulted. He was clearly insulted by his abroad friend.

I blame the USA friend. Obviously his naija friend is even doing better than him. He thought what he was hearing about people in naija starving and how if you dash someone #5k now ehn, it's like you have dashed him the world hence he thought it applied to everybody. He don go do good wry Dem no send am. This tupe of good if you do it to a winch, you will I cure curses in place of thank you. Take note o, good doers, it's not everybody you do good for.

Lol...this is worse than insult. It's better to not send anything than ring someone up after 16 years in the abroad just to send 12$.

Some people will say it's 'entitlement mentality'. But if I see you for road, you dey mind your business I come hala say I know say life hard, take 50 naira go find biscuit chop, before you die for our neck. You go reason better blow for mouth. After all, you no beg me for food or for money. Despite the fact that I just gave you my 'hard earned' money, you'd know in your heart of hearts that I just undermined you.

For 16years, bro has been managing to survive, How would you message him out of the blues to send him 12$. One carton of indomie.





Dude,stop joining the ungrateful wagon, would he not have survived without the 20k? It's just an addition he should be grateful for. God loves a thankful heart
