He is beyond foolish.
Bros, this guy has debts lined up 6 months in advance. Not for him, not for investments, for family. When he got this new job, his mother decided build a bigger house and build another in the village (father is late). Na this mumu dey foot majority of the bills.
As he is, he has uncompleted projects opening mouth to swallow his money.
Do you believe that this fool sponsored his gf abroad?
Meanwhile, he has a brother who is also doing well. That one doesn't answer them.

Christ! Well, there is a saying that 'a fool and his money are soon parted'. Let's hope he continues to see the N2m monthly. Cause if things go south, he will be wondering where are all the people I helped. I know this for a fact.

Billing, billing and more billings but we are not complaining because it is better to have and be giving than asking and be given. God no go shame us.
The goal is to make everybody okay so billings go reduce

Billing no dey reduce. Some people are deliberately wicked. They will want to keep their money and run you down.
Until I told a man to keep me out of his family matters, he always have one financial issue or the other.

Billing, billing and more billings.

I stopped picking unknown numbers on my main line now for these reasons.

Tell me this is not true. If it is, then he is foolish, you mean for the whole year earning 2m he was not saving and putting for cash away for December spending? Tell another story
I doubt that story. He said he makes 2M monthly. So we're talking about 24M+ 13th month...
I strongly doubt it

this is so apt... I have faced this, traveling from country to country peacefully and enjoying my life till someone told my family that I travel frequently and BOOMMMM all hell of demands broke loose...

I wasn't married so the married ones began to place demands on me, tell their kids to call me so I can be manipulated to give... family responsibilites that I had no business with.

I had to first relocate from the address they all knew... to somewhere they would never be able to find me, then I traveled out... changed my numbers, then I came back to Lagos and put on the FAMILY SIM just to greet them via SMS and remove it quickly before they call.

Since then I have had peace, my own family has had peace, no more demands from extended relations

Young man you are poor and still bragging in your poverty.



My prayer everyday even when I was broke and struggling was for God to bless me so immensely that I will be a blessing to others starting from my siblings, parents, cousins, nieces, nephews, neighbors, employees, kinsmen, my Church, my Pastors and everybody that I come across.



Of what use is my being rich without being a destiny helper to many?



Please pray against the spirit of poverty and rich today poor tomorrow because your attitude may attract such

Poverty too much for the land naa. That's why some abroad people cut ties from those in Nigeria cos of too much demand

You're right.
But many a diasporan were only able to go there through support from back here.

Not saying that they should be beholden all their lives to those who supported. Just that cutting off totally to those who supported is extreme.

I no make my money for anybody. When I'm broke, I'm broke alone, why should I be rich and be weighed down by people I barely know.

By the way, from 200m Nigerians, 133m are dirt poor, less than 500k people have more than N1m resting in their account. If you think you can solve Nigeria's problem because you have little money, it will all get exhausted.
yet people believe Nigeria is rich and a giant of Africa. I laugh in cryptic decibels.

But the quickest way to become a Billionaire is to ensure you make your relatives especially your siblings a millionaire first

Only people with deep sense and critical thinkers will understand my statement above

You have a point but it does not necessarily work out.

Some people you help might not end up helping others. So, too many people will still be dependent on you.

My dad sent the son of his dad's last wife overseas paying his first year school fees in the United States. This ingrate did not help any of his direct siblings who were still looking up to my dad.

Worse, this ingrate no even send my dad. When he came to Nigeria in 2007 for the first time in 24 years, he paid a visit to my dad in Ondo. He came in the morning. He gave my mum 10k and probably also dropped something for my dad. He now left and we were expecting him in the evening.

My dad bought bushmeat to prepare for him when he comes back that evening. We never saw the uncle again till he traveled back.

HELP AND NEVER STOP HELPING O!all of you blocking and blankin..may your matter not become sour some day only for you to need help!i and d first and male child of d home so i can well relate. i started carrying burdens since my sec sch days (90s).do your best,do not over or attempt to show,moderate your givings and you should be good. the society made u who u are,what do u intend to do for d average minds around u ? if some one asks you for 100k as a londoner, why not assist with say 40k and even less letting him know there are a lots of mouths on ground to feed! my dad was trying to be nasty and funny over some little amount of funds i sent to him. had to let him know , i have other fathers that i also send money to ,also told him i an now a father too with many more children than him.(biological and spiritual)i also attend to their fin needs.he had to humble up. imagine sending money to your father and d first response u get from him was "what is the money u sent for?,that can only fuel my car"!

Honestly I so like this thread. I wouldn't say I'm rich yet but doing fine as a single young man here in Nigeria at least for now. Keeping up and reaching out to Nigerian relatives is really a tough one for me. Like this guys target towards the end of the month and you go dey receive all kinds of calls. Even some go offer to pay a visit knowing we'll that they will get something while leaving after virtually looting all my groceries, provisions, beverages and even wears angry
Those in my area are not exempted. You go fear demands from all round. Just this December, I had to get a bag of rice and asked to be distributed unanimously to people in need around which eventually got casted. Naso dem begin to chase me around oooo, even those that received initially. Some go even write account details for paper end am with God bless you angry
Guys around sef go dey add you to group for end of year carnival for free flexing and contributions. People weh no get pure intentions from day one. I've peefected to act of ghosting, staying and flexing indoors, avoiding croud and specfic tracks or gatherings and selecting call (unfortunately true caller does work perfectly on ios). I'll just do my best and post the rest grin

No worry, when you become rich you will understand that "giving all you have to the poor will only make you poor, but will never make the poor rich"

That was why my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ told Judas that "the poor will always be amongst you" Matthew 26:11

First week of January, he chatted me on WhatsApp wanting to borrow 20k. Very stupid a boy.

He's not the only one doing well in his family but since he has decided to be the Messiah of his family, they want to crucify him.
Bros abeg, shey na Employment dey give 2M monthly?

You can't make anyone millionaire except they want to be. Infact, you can't make anyone anything except they choose to be, but you can be of help if they want to be millionaire. I had given sister thousand $$ to start business, when she is little broke, she sold the business and moved on.
I have come to realize people only do what they wanna do. Establishing business for someone will be a waste of time and money if all they ever wanted is money to flex and come beg the next day.
