Someone that hasn't experience this will call u a liar, lol. Life is a lesson teacher

I used to think i had friends or colleagues. I resigned with over 12m saved but i was being debited on my accounts (250k, 200k). So before dem go tif my money finish, i transferred it to my baby mama pending when i resolve the account issue.

Before i could say jack, this woman has lost all my money. I had to sell my high end laptops and car sef.

Now the true color of everyone came out. Friends are the worse, the ones i bot fone for no de reach my house again. He comes every weekend cos we stay on d same street. Friends i de buy things for every weekend that i even dash money every and then stopped relating with me immediately. Hasn't called or chat.

The one wey dey come meet me borrow money every week wey i de even tell am to forget repayment embarrassed me cos he is now doing fine and i borrowed some funds and couldn't pay bak in time.

Only one or 2 colleagues reach out.

My siblings, two have been so supportive and encouraging. The other two wey i even place on salary for over 5 yrs no send me like dat.

My parents have been very wonderful mehn. They re lovely especially my mom. I just feel so sad i can't cater for her now but thank God dad is a pensioner

Street pple wey i de support financially nko i, lol.

Brokeness willq teach u lesson and u must learn

The moment God lifts me up again, i would not revenge or stop being good but omoooooooooo, i will always put myself first o. Big lessons mehn

Consider this period as a time to revaluate your relationship with people. It's good to be kind and help people but it must not affect your growth.
Also never be shy to tell people seeking favor (either financially or other forms of help) that you are helping them so that they will reciprocate the favor later. There is nothing bad in telling them because humans are always quick to forget.

Every one you have helped before you lost your job, do well to ask them for help either they help you or not. They owe you that favor.
Make dem no later con talk say you no ask them.
Another thing is keep applying for jobs and don't settle for jobs that are less. Wait no matter how long it takes. Don't settle for less

God bless you whoever u are. U will never lack anything good. Your words are so encouraging

As for job, it isn't easy cos i reached assistant manager in a bank and i have been applying but it is not easy seeing a similar role. I should have invested more in myself instead i was even opening businesses for my sibling and supporting others so much.

I have learnt well and another opportunity given would never go to waste.

God bless u abundantly

Being in a genuine situation of financial need will truly reveal how your friends and family value you and whether or not they have your back, and whether they are stingy or not.

When you and your friends all have money, they can spend a lot on you eg outings, food, some business ventures, etc knowing that they aren't really in a superior position than you.
But when they know you are broke, that's when their true colors will come out.

Some will;
-Ignore your messages and pretend not to have seen them
-Stop picking your phone calls
-Pretend they don't know you
-Promise to assist you and then start dodging you
-Lie to you about their own finances just to avoid helping you

The longer you've known a person and the closer you've been with them, the more pain you will experience when they turn their back on you when you don't have money.

The irony is that you may have assisted many of them before but they won't remember what you did for them in the past.

Mind you, the very same people will try to run back into your life when you are in money again. Lol.

*The vast majority of people around you will abandon you, very few will help especially those you were not expecting.

Best is not to expect anything from anyone and you won't be disappointed.

Try your best to plan ahead, work hard, work smart, and avoid having to depend on anyone.

Sorry, but the emboldened is actually wrong; making a condition for helping someone else. That's not genuine help. It's even worse when you tell them, which sends a bad signal.

You shouldn't help people because you want something back from them, you should do that because you're naturally generous and you recognize that people have needs some times. That's selflessness. Love is selfless, and it expects nothing in return.

However, that is not to say you shouldn't ask people you've helped before for help, just don't do that on the premise of that help you rendered. You'll put them in a box, and that's manipulative in a way.

Like I said initially, most people are terrible. If you depend on them to repay your good with good, then be sure to be disappointed. If you get disappointed, you'll definitely not be willing to help anyone anymore. So just be kind and leave it there.

It's never easy, that's why it's important to ask God to reproduce His love in us.
