Don't fall victim to fakeness

What makes a great friendship? Some would say it’s having shared interests or a similar sense of humor, while others would argue it’s loyalty and dependability. Some want a friend who’s fun, adventurous, and exciting, while others would rather be with someone supportive, empathetic, and good at listening. Either way, like with any other kind of relationship, all friendships need honesty, trust, care, and mutual respect to thrive and survive. But when it comes to fake friendships, you’ll notice that all of these things are sorely missing.



Fake friends are people who act like they’re your friend when really, they’re anything but. They only care about you for superficial reasons (like your popularity or your money) and are never there for you when you need them the most. Selfish, manipulative, and disingenuous, they’re solely interested in what you can do for them and couldn’t care less about you as a person. So, are you wondering if you have a fake friend in your life right now and how you can spot them? Do you want to make sure that the people closest to you are friends with you for all the right reasons? Well, here are 7 things that only a fake friend would do:

1. Talk about you behind your back.
First and foremost, a true friend would never gossip about you behind your back and spread all your secrets to everyone. No matter how juicy the rumor would be or how popular it would make them, they would never jeopardize your friendship or humiliate you like that by stabbing you in the back. And while fake friends talk trash about you and spread rumors about you when you’re not looking, someone who really cares about you would never stoop so low as to betray your trust like that

2. Throw you under the bus
When the going gets tough, fake friends are willing to just throw you under the bus and pin the blame all on you if it means getting to save their own skin. They don’t vouch for you, they don’t take your side, and they certainly don’t stick up for you when someone is hurting or belittling you in some way. They will just stand idly by when you’re being harassed (be it verbally or emotionally) because the truth is, they don’t think you or your friendship is worth putting themselves at risk for.

Actor Seun Ajayi gives a detail of his experiences on set as he cautions men in Nollywood to desist from harassing women.

He said he has witnessed multiple cases of sexual assault on set and some of them were so bad.


He mentioned a particular incident where a man kept groping a woman on set and refused to stop even after he was cautioned. He only stopped after he got a letter from the lady's lawyer.


In a video captioned "Sexual harassment in Nollywood! My brothers let's do better" the actor said: "This video is directed to my brothers in the Nollywood industry.


"I see this a lot and whenever I get the chance, I speak about it.

"You see, it's very important for us to let women feel safe in their work environment, but the truth is, if we really really check out, we dey mess up. In fact, forgive my French, we dey f**k up.

"I went to sleep agitated and I woke up with my heart beating very fast because I could not wait to address this.

"Many times I'll see male colleagues harass ladies on set.

"There was one time I was on set and it was so bad and this guy was constantly commenting on this girl's bum and groping her and everyone told him to stop. I told him to stop several times and he didn't until he was officially written by the girl's lawyer.

"Now, what tends to happen is that this goes on, but men stay silent. The men that know better, they stay silent.

"I urge you, my brothers, that the next time you see that kind of behavior... it's not only rape oh, it's not only rape. To be inappropriate with your language is harassment, it is sexual harassment.

"The reason why these things are still sliding is because nobody has been arraigned in court for sexual harassment, nobody has lost their endorsement for sexual harassment. It's coming and we need to be careful, my brothers, we need to be careful. We can't continue to just act. We have to think before we do it.

"Please, put a lid on it and act right. It's not only producers that are preying on the ladies trying to get in the industry. It happens in many shades, in many manners. We need to be careful oh, we need to be careful.

He also called on producers and directors to intervene if they notice a crew member harassing a woman on set. He added that it's "rampant" and needs to stop.

"We need to stop this and if you see it around you, nip it in the bud. Talk to your guy," he concluded.
