BUSH.HUNTER:
Nigerians U titled ur Poem 2 reasons buh we have 3 now u r party agent madam try other website

Okonjo iweala: A cousin of ours who used to be very close to my brother and my immediate family particularly, got wealthy and since then he has become too formal and courteous in his relation to us and the rest of his "day 1" freinds.
He hangs out with new cronies, and totally forgot how he started, i mean how he and my brother used to eat from same plate, stroll around the estate together chasing girls, doing many things together as best of freinds and cousins.
Now he has forgotten all.
I discussed this issue with a freind of mine, and her veiw was quite interesting, she claimed wealth is like a spirit that possesses an , individual making him to unconsciously forget people of his previous class, and makes him act according to his new class.
In her words to me "if you too become wealthy, you'ld do same"
but i think this is false.
I'm of the opinion that it has to do solely with the individual, or what do you guys think?
Pls share your veiws

jidegirl12: Isn't that ironic? That bolded seems to be the typical story from people... rarely you'll hear people say otherwise bout the person who's status changed... the poor friends are always the good guys 'back in the days'.

#OP , not that I'm indicating you're poor oh.

jidegirl12: OP sorry I was carried away with the topic title... Even then , he's not obliged to share his wealth with relatives ... #His choice.

Chinwem: What's the source of his wealth?

baby_123: Its not easy to stay up, when some people feel they should be entitled to your purse. If you give them today and cannot give them tomorrow, wahala. Also, most of his rich friends now can probably do something for him that you cant. All you can offer is feel entitled to spending his money. Besides you dont know how he made that money. You really dont want to force yourself on him, and be one day caught in a situation you will regret for life. It is his life and his money.

Royal Roy: Hmmm...madam Jidegirl.....so you don't consider your cousins as relatives?
Would you rather regard them as just friends?

kwangi: It's a two 50/50 thing.
I can't remember where I read an interview of a man in his 50s saying he hasn't gotten to that point where he can say he'll not do such and such, until he finds himself in that situation.

It all boils down to the knowledge of self, which is highest form of knowledge one can attain.

jidegirl12: Now I have a problem with that^^ RR

They're not related.

@back to his senses... And when will that be? When he's broke? Some Nigerians and their bad belle sha... I'm not surprised tho... The relative term for rich is 'obnoxious' in Nigeria... I don't blame them for moving with their level.

It's choice.. Anybody can choose who to roll with and bone for good!

yellowpawpaw: Displaying the Nigerian mentality. Who knows @op,since u became minister how many friends and family members u hv left behind!

Royal Roy: Madam minister of Finance, hope Abuja is fine? Say hi to Pres. Jonathan in ur next FEC meeting o!!!


Well, money brings pride in most men!
You can't criticise your cousin since he decided to change his clique of friends!!!

I believe that's who he really is right from time....he just remained humbled cos he had no choice!!!

Another point is that, most people abbor some secret sense of revenge for those around them when they were struggling!!

Like a careless statement to mock them, For some inconsequential reasons, he might be "paying" you guys back for some perceived wrong when he was hustling.
You never know what he thinks of you guys while he was still "humble"

Although I will characterise such behaviour as childish & immature!!

Forget about him, blood is thicker than water, soon as he gets used to his "new levels" he will be back to his senses!!

bellong: Money, Women/Men and Power do not change anybody. They only bring out the true nature of anybody that encountered them.

eddiebruk: until you taste wealth, you will never find a true answer
