Kimbeast:
You are inventing another angle to defend your stance. The tweet was quite clear and straightforward. As others have said going by the information from the tweet the friend was ungrateful. There's no two ways about it.

In what world is saying thanks to your helper termed as ungrateful? Does thanks have another meaning in your dictionary?

The guy is literally complaining his friend only thanked him. The quuestion nobody has been able to answer is "what does he want aside thanks?"

Ibime:
Anoda angu.

It is possible that in the process of the discussion where the N4.8m figure was given, the friend has already showed appreciation and the text is just a follow up.

It looks likely the matter is about financial gratification. Every other thing na just blowing hot air over nothing.

He is probably vexed because his guy no reason am "something" out of his unexpected sales.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao... Bro that reply doesn't match the level of help he received.
I've seen people show more gratitude for receiving 10k than what that guy received for saving someone's source of livelihood 😁.

At the very least you'd have offered to take the guy out or something.
Some of these things are unwritten rules.
Probably the guy nor rate who help am.

Answer the question: How did he know the exact amount the guy made from the referral sales?

Olowunl01:
Bro, It is expected standard nothing to do with getting something back. As a yoruba you are expected to also call the next day to say thank you for yesterday... atleast na wetin my parent knocked into my head.

I think most of you are reading a totally different narrative to the story which is different from the facts presented to us by the poster on this matter.

The Tweet is still up there, and the fact therein are as follows:

1.The guy complained he helped his friend whose business was making low sales to get referrals which led to him making more sales. The guy mentioned the exact amount his friend made from those referrals which to me mean the friend disclosed this to him. If the friend didn't disclose the sales amount to him, then he must have asked those people whom he referred for how much they spent patronizing his friend (This is premium gutter behavior and suggests he didn't help his friend out of his free mind but for bragging rights).

2. The friend who was helped with the referrals sent a text of appreciation in which he said thanks bro.

3. You said the expected standard is to be appreciative and not necessarily about getting something back. If that is the standard, why is the friend vexed he only got thanks? What was he expecting apart from thanks?

4. If the guy had complained the friend ghosted him after helping his struggling business with referrals without saying thank you, I would've been mad at the guy that was helped. But u see this performative anger at him for only saying thanks, I no dey buy am at all.

5. If the guy wants anything aside the thanks, he should just come out straight and let the guy see if he can accomodate his expectations from the proceeds of the referral. Simple !

swiz123:
Well, I guess it depends on how you were raised. As a boy, whenever I received a Christmas gift for example, my parents made sure I go over and say I proper thank you and they also thank that person when they see them. That is a very polite way of acknowledging someone else’s effort who went out of their way to do something for you when they absolutely didn’t have to.

I am usually shocked when someone helps me and I sometimes even over thank them.

It’s fine if you are ok with getting just “thanks for your help “ after helping a low income earner secure a very high paying job. That doesn’t make such low sense of appreciation the standard.

Who sets the standard for appreciation?

If you expect so much from helping people, maybe you shouldn't be helping them or maybe you inform them from inception that your help comes with a condition of "immense gratitude", so you don't get disappointed when they don't meet ur expectation. Just saying.

izzou:
[color=royalblue] Kindly tell us how this friend of yours thanked you. I am sure he didn't type "Thanks" on Whatsapp.[/color]

He sent me his employment letter on WhatsApp and said "I just collect the letter now. Thank you bro". That was it.

swiz123:
Don’t mind them. I strongly believe nobody owes me any form of kindness and when I receive one, I show immense gratitude.

What in the world is the meaning of immense gratitude?

Someone did him a favor and he appreciated him by saying Thank You, does thank you have another meaning other than showing appreciation ?

I have helped a friend in the process of getting jobs twice. The first job was where he bought his first car at a discounted price when the company was disposing status cars they bought for oga's brand new which had reached the end of its 4 years net book value life cycle. The current job he's on at an indigenous oil and gas firm, I sent him the job invite, helped him prepare for different stages of interview and even when he got to salary negotiation stage I gave him tips on how to get a considerable compensation package without throwing the recruiters off. He is currently doing well for himself.

I have never felt any reason to think whether he just said, "Thanks Bro" or he sends video of himsel rolling on the floor in appreciation for the "help". In fact, till date he has never sent me N1 and say it's because of my "help " and I'm not inclined to think he's obligated to do so. We are very good friends; he still calls me regularly to ask for my advice on work related issues and I do likewise.

There's nothing wrong in doing good to people and not expecting to be worshipped like an idol or life saver.

TemporaryHansel:
Very correct. Like that ebonyi governor that sacked all his commissioners because they didn't do billboards to celebrate his birthday.

If you check the comments on the thread you'll realize a lot of Nigerians are truly vain, they're saying the friend should have said prayers for him and be more grateful.

It's like the guy was expecting extra praises, and probably a cut from the money.

There are many Nigerians like that. When you thank them they will say "don't mention", if you fail to thank them next time they will say "he is ungrateful". The next time you thank them , they will say "the tanks is very short and shallow".

afrodoc2:
He helped his friend, not because of their friendship, but to boost his own ego.

Exactly! He did it for his ego and for him to always use it as a reference point anytime talk reach that side

TemporaryHansel:
What is wrong with "thanks for the referrals"?
Some people want to be treated like gods because they helped their own friends.

I'd have said the same, except I'll word it as "thanks a lot for the referrals, much appreciated ❤️".

The guy complaining is a vain person ; he's the kind of leader that will be angry that all the contractors he signs their contract did not spend money on newspaper pages to wish him happy birthday when he becomes governor or minister.

iamoyindamola:
The story is looking like everybody is tired of him
Apart from the ex southern governor there are other notable figures under investigation
Make we they watch how it unfold

I doubt they will make most of the findings public because they won't want to spread panic nor embolden other potential coup plotters.

I just know something was off with the October 1 independence parade being cancelled.

swiz123:
I believe Ned 💯. Many hook up girls too get high to sleep with strangers because it is not easy. Ned isn’t exactly appealing and not many young girls will go down with him with clear eyes.

That's also my thought too.

It's quite easy for girls like that to claim "Na money be fine bobo" to anyone who cares to listen, but in real life it is difficult to live with their romantic choice with clear eyes. She will probably have enough young boys as "crush", but have no choice than to live with the choice of sleeping with a man older than her father. That thing no take clear eyes to do.

iamoyindamola:
Morroco is building something
They invested heavily on football and it's paying off, Senegal is another Africa country doing the same

I think Morocco FA probably sent emissaries to players of Moroccan descent who were born in countries like Spain, Netherlands, France, etc to convince them to key into their project by representing Morocco instead of their respective countries of birth.

I think that effort has been paying off for them since the last world cup. Their team don't play like the average African team with their kita-kita playing style. Finishing 4th at the last world cup was a big deal and from the qualifiers for next year's world cup, they don't look like they are slowing down at all in overall team performance. They can best any regular European team like Denmark, Croatia, Norway, etc on their normal day.

https://www.nairaland.com/8543293/alleged-coup-plot-ex-governor-under

They said a former southern state governor is linked to the botched coup as a major financier.They said the ex governor used to operate in the oil and gas space.


Who could that be?

TemporaryHansel:
I don't see shisha and weed as drugs sha. When people talk about drugs I was expecting to see cocaine or crystal meth.

You don't see weed as drug?

You never see people wey weed carry go psychiatric hospital before? All those colorado and other synthetic strain of weed wey dey carry people enter psychosis no be drug for Ur side?

It's a fact finding mission sir

Olowunl01:
There's no big deal in the age as they are 2 consenting adults, it just the lack of tact to manage their affairs see Shade Okoya naa...

Ẹ̀gbọ́n shade okoya married Alhaji Razak Okoya in 1999 as a 21 year old. Time have changed sir, things are no longer the same.

Okoya Marrying as a 59 year old in the year 1999 is not the same as Ned marrying 19 year old in 2019. A lot has happened sir!

Ibime:
Anywhere his belle face as long as you pay

And the pay is not that much sef.

What do you think about his opinion on Peter Obi?

Ibime:
He is an opportunist who hunger has dealt with and will do anything for small change

So he's been running PR for Tinubu's government fr whatever stipend they've paid him upfront, right?

Ibime:
Reno is 51 and has no career history or known source of income prior to 2010 when he was 36 so I believe the story.

Same thing with Nnamdi Kanu, these are people who had no profession before their public relations took off

So what exactly are you saying sir?

Emaprince:
But that man never old like that though.

Na just say he is a very busy man. A politician as well. So he would def not be disposed to make those childish tiktok videos.

He never old like that keh? The man and Nigeria na same age o, he is 65 years old and Regina is just 25 years.

Ned was celebrating his 40 years birthday when they gave birth to Regina.

Baba e go far gan o.

They belong to very different generations and there's no way she fit into his expectation of how a wif should conduct herself ; same applies to her expectation of how husband should put with his Gen Z wife's shenanigans

Scrolling through Twitter now and seeing this, omo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣...

That is how you know she's in the wrong marriage because her heart yearns for what her mates her doing with their spouses.

She wants a man she can be making tiktok videos with and be posting lifestyle content. She don forget say na ancestor she marry and he will never be able to relate.

Emaprince:
Or she should have run it like most other actresses and BBNAIJA female do - use him as a BIG God and cash out big time from the relationship/fling. ..whilst dating younger guys.

She could have still made a lot money and acquire properties.

The man na senior man, he doesn't do dating/relationship; he dey point and marry dem ni.

iamoyindamola:
Now that it's building up
It might happen

There will be genuine panic amongst the political class now. Most of them go Don dey keep their international passport handy to japa at anytime if e cast.

semid4lyfe:
Regina's brother say hin go break Ned' jaw

He go just chop beans for sanko 😂

Ned go tell him security to beat him and still use police arrest am.

They should just take their L and move on

It seems this alleged coup plot matter is serious o.

TemporaryHansel:
In a sane society that Regina Daniels video is enough to end Ned's political career.

Did she post a video of Ned assaulting her? Or na the same one about the hired thugs?

iamoyindamola:
Since
I think she's not in the house again, rumour as it baba wan carry another wife
She's back to acting

Na her mama desperation push her enter that kind marriage Sha.

She could've had a normal life by completing her studies, pursue her acting career or influencer work and marry a younger person. But as her mama see say the ancestor dey show interest in her daughter, she started seeing a lifetime of enjoyment through the marraige. Even the father came out to say he never supported the marfiage but the woman say make the public no mind am say "deadbeat" father no supposed get opinion about whom his daughter marries

CrystalTiger:
Wetin make that girl marry that man sef?.. Female choices are weird most times..

I think the answer to this is very obvious ; MONEY.

Her mama just use her as their get-out-of-trenches card.

TemporaryHansel:
Classism wan finish many lagosians.
They'll see something they shouldn't cost more than let's say 10k, and they'll move to somewhere else and buy it 100k, and start talking about it.
They try to hide it, but it just shows.

It's not really about that, Most times the location really matters. There are some rich men areas where they have premium supermarkets that sell groceries at premium prices. The owners of such supermarkets pay premium price for rent of their space and also pay various forms of tax & levies to government.

All of those money, the owners will make it back from charging above the price you would buy in an open market or on the mainland.

I'm sure people who live in those highbrow areas won't complain about the price. It's most likely the lady who raised alarm online is not resident there; she needed to buy something there and was astonished at the price.

I don't think it's about calssism at all

E be like say Regina Daniels and the grandpa she marry Don later get issue.

Abi na skit she dey act for here?
