See at this point I don't understand most Nigerians anymore. Every time I offer a helping hand to Nigerians they turn to your enemy. I don't understand the dynamics behind it. The whole interaction just gets very awkward after that . It's like they hate you for " humbling " them. It never fails.

But the ones who have a pure friendly relationship with you? Are the ones you haven't given anything yet. So in my everyday life person to person I try to do charity because charity covers a multitude of sins and givers never lack.

So this is a recent case study. This young guy , a security guard was sent by the company to guard the house I stay. I would say about 19 years old. One night I went grocery shopping and I was going through the gate he runs over from across the street and told me he was hungry. So I said what does he eat ? He said he likes indomie . So I went to my place and brought out like 5 indomie and 3 soft drinks and 2 sardines and gave it to him. He thanked me.

Every 2 days when I go out I would do small grocery shopping for him. Indomie and biscuits and soft drinks sardine or bread. A few times when I go out to get bottled palmwine for myself I would get him palmwine or orijin beer he likes. But I started noticing his entitlement behaviour like on the days when I don't buy him anything he would time when I Am coming home and sit beside my door when he sees me carrying my own groceries and he would be looking at me like he is depressed. And he would Always be watching me to see if I am going grocery shopping and he would hang around the car to see if I would come out with grocery.

Let's just say this guy got ridiculously stalkerish and so I called him up 4 days ago and asked him has his salary being paid yet? He said yes. Because am thinking all these things he is doing because he is new on the job and has no money and is hungry so I put up with it for like a month.

But once he told me yes that he had being paid, I in a roundabout way told him I don't tolerate the stalking. That he doesn't need to be following me or waiting on me. Anyway since that day this guy just turned into an enemy. Someone who I have been buying groceries for for almost a whole month just turned hostile like that. Now all that time I was buying him grocery he would do ass kissing stuff like when I drop my black trash bag outside my door he would take it to the bin outside for me but since that day the guy just bone my trash bags lol.

Anyway the point here is this ? You create an enemy unknowingly out of those you help - not family members- because I think it is humiliating for them and they despise you for it, so if you are going to offer charity don't offer it to people you have to see on a daily basis. Just find a beggar in the street that you would never see again. Nigerians are funny, they beg you for money but they hate you for giving them that money especially if it is not a life changing amount.

It's like a guy I gave 5000 naira one time and he thought it was an insult, just a regular guy who I don't even know like that, God is my witness, which 5000 is no money but it was just for him to buy beer for the weekend, you can get 15 beers with 5000 when I gave it to him.

So out here on these streets you have to be savage. No more mr nice guy ooo lol. basically if you are not offering guys over 100k just forget it cuz they would hate you. look for a real beggar who would appreciate 5000 or 1000.


You are completely right. Nigerians have that bad habit of entitlement. It's a curse and it's everywhere from North to South. You even read it online how some workers, families or even domestic staffs kill their employers or families all on this entitlement mentality. It has even permated every aspect of our society ranging from politics to churches or mosques. Everybody feels entitled such that the minute they stop receiving from you, you can't begin to phantom the level of disdain and hate. They don't like to call it what it is, Extortion whether through coercion or sentiments.

That's one of the bane of this country's growth and development. Thus one own entitlement mentality is professional extortion caressed with lip and eye service which eventually adds to the already pilfering of our resources and corruption that fills up our political space. Afterall, those praising the emilokans mentality are like your security guy. Let their entitlement mentality be disappointed, you will see their true colors...

When I visited my mum, she was upset and asked why I was dressing like that and not like a diasporan...I told her you don't know what Nigeria has become. I even book like 3 hotels staying in one for not more than a week...so the receptionists don get too familiar. One told me the quality of the simple t-shirt I wore gave me away.

I grew up knowing the streets and I still stay current My driver was frustrated one day and said why don't I go out in the night to enjoy life like other people. I sey were want make I drink and dey vulnerable and easier to kidnap.

Many Nigerians are devil incarnate. Once I finish wetin dey carry me come...I won't visit for a very very long time.
Good decision, I completely agree with all you wrote, your safety and security is more important than anything called blind patriotism, some diasporans went back to Nigeria and got Burchard by killers and most of the killing is linked to either a family member, friends or close associates sad

With an ingrate like him, if you are to recount all the food you've bought for him or given him, he will ask you what have you given him or what have you done for him? That's why you've to be careful who you're kind to, especially with the entitlement mentality of many Nigerians and their stubbornness when it comes to appreciating what people do for them. Secondly, unless the person utterly deserves it, showering someone undeserving with kindness after kindness isn't a good idea, because they won't value it, will take you for granted, will come to expect it all the time, and will act like you're the bad guy when you're no longer doing those things for them.

@sukkot same thing too with the securities at my place and some others who are around you only because of what they can gain from you.

They are never there for you , it s all about themselves and ass licking . Once the sweets disappear, they will free you .

Once they stop getting free drinks , outings , food , money from u just know they will move into the next and they may even say bad things about you to people.

Just stop smiling unnecessarily from now on .

You gave someone a goat but refused to release the rope, have you given him the goat
Whenever you gave out something don't expect a reward, either by kind or cash. Do it from the bottom of your heart.
Given and started regretting show that you re not doing it from the bottom of your heart.

It it like you wishing some good morning and the person did not reply you back or say anything, then you're offended. At that point you have withdrawn you're Good wishes from him.

Again you re also discouraging the good people to stop being benevolent to others because of your own experience .

A generous man is a generous man any time any day, and can never be changed from it.
If I became wicked because of you, then I'm a wicked person from onset I was only pretending all these while.
Character is a character, and can never be changed. God bless you.

All professional and past time beggars are ingrates. You becomes their enemy anytime they don't get what they want from you. Just try and be helping people that needs help. Those ones hardly have the courage to ask for help. Anyone that shamelessly walks up to you to ask for one form of help or the other, is a beggar. I might be wrong though!

Everybody is a beggar. Only that we beg different things at different times, but begging is begging. Do you know someone can walk up to you and asked for favor but he is well dressed, do you know that when you declined that offer, he might get home and hanged himself. Do you know what that person is going through that your Litle help can make him to change his mind.
Listen if anybody ask you for help, if that person have that courage to ask you for help, don't look at their dressing if you have it give it to him. It has a way of prolonging your life and mind you givers never lack.

A group of hired assassins visited a family to kill a man, but met his wife, the woman was very nice to them gave them good food and drinks , they patiently waited for her husband, finally the man arrived enter into the seating room and saw visitors wandering in his heart he never knew them. They greeted the man and told him to thank his wife, for being kind to them that otherwise they would killed him, that he married a good woman, that they are hired assassin hired to taminate his life. That's how they spared his life.

My dear charity is good, it will saves a man from danger, and they will never plan evil against you, you can not know who is inside a
masquerade but a man wearing a masquerade knows you.

God bless you.

Na you cause am, next time do your charity away from home and mind your business. Honestly, you were trying to do the right thing but people have a way they assign a help to a responsibility, just ignore that guy like he never existed after a few days watch him run to you with apologies the ghost him finally.

I think it is how one does those acts of benevolence that matters.


.Do not make it everyday or consistently.


Then vary the quantity and quality of giving.


Then use style to tell them not to expect gifts always.

Keep in mind this guy is just one very skinny looking harmless looking guy is why I went overboard with the help. He doesn't look dangerous. He just looks like a lost young guy who is trying to do the job to survive


Never judge a book by its cover. Most of us do this but will claim we don't. A well dressed guy with fresh hair cut is almost always seen and readily accepted as a good ehmmm ..... responsible guy .... while another one well dressed with dreadlocks?... and tattoo.... he is almost always branded irresponsible and shunned.

My advice .... if you need to help people .... help random people who you know need help. Begging these days is an occupation for many ... how can you determine who need and who want? There is a whole lot of working people who are really in need .... never write them off your who to help list. You may see a nurse with worn out shoes .... split at the back ... and you can see it was split before and repaired ..... that nurse needs help. If you feel like you want to help a particular person ... bear in mind ...

it is better to teach one how to fish than give hime fish daily.

Choose one who want to learn to fish .

Regarding the entitled security guard .... if I were you I'll ask for a change. That guy may be plotting to have you robbed ... I wouldn't trust him. Maybe start dropping him foodstuffs again so he would call off his plot if any .... and when moved he wouldn't think you had a hand in it.

See at this point I don't understand most Nigerians anymore. Every time I offer a helping hand to Nigerians they turn to your enemy. I don't understand the dynamics behind it. The whole interaction just gets very awkward after that . It's like they hate you for " humbling " them. It never fails.

But the ones who have a pure friendly relationship with you? Are the ones you haven't given anything yet. So in my everyday life person to person I try to do charity because charity covers a multitude of sins and givers never lack.

So this is a recent case study. This young guy , a security guard was sent by the company to guard the house I stay. I would say about 19 years old. One night I went grocery shopping and I was going through the gate he runs over from across the street and told me he was hungry. So I said what does he eat ? He said he likes indomie . So I went to my place and brought out like 5 indomie and 3 soft drinks and 2 sardines and gave it to him. He thanked me.

Every 2 days when I go out I would do small grocery shopping for him. Indomie and biscuits and soft drinks sardine or bread. A few times when I go out to get bottled palmwine for myself I would get him palmwine or orijin beer he likes. But I started noticing his entitlement behaviour like on the days when I don't buy him anything he would time when I Am coming home and sit beside my door when he sees me carrying my own groceries and he would be looking at me like he is depressed. And he would Always be watching me to see if I am going grocery shopping and he would hang around the car to see if I would come out with grocery.

Let's just say this guy got ridiculously stalkerish and so I called him up 4 days ago and asked him has his salary being paid yet? He said yes. Because am thinking all these things he is doing because he is new on the job and has no money and is hungry so I put up with it for like a month.

But once he told me yes that he had being paid, I in a roundabout way told him I don't tolerate the stalking. That he doesn't need to be following me or waiting on me. Anyway since that day this guy just turned into an enemy. Someone who I have been buying groceries for for almost a whole month just turned hostile like that. Now all that time I was buying him grocery he would do ass kissing stuff like when I drop my black trash bag outside my door he would take it to the bin outside for me but since that day the guy just bone my trash bags lol.

Anyway the point here is this ? You create an enemy unknowingly out of those you help - not family members- because I think it is humiliating for them and they despise you for it, so if you are going to offer charity don't offer it to people you have to see on a daily basis. Just find a beggar in the street that you would never see again. Nigerians are funny, they beg you for money but they hate you for giving them that money especially if it is not a life changing amount.

It's like a guy I gave 5000 naira one time and he thought it was an insult, just a regular guy who I don't even know like that, God is my witness, which 5000 is no money but it was just for him to buy beer for the weekend, you can get 15 beers with 5000 when I gave it to him.

So out here on these streets you have to be savage. No more mr nice guy ooo lol. basically if you are not offering guys over 100k just forget it cuz they would hate you. look for a real beggar who would appreciate 5000 or 1000.


Boss, if I were in your shoes, I would find a way to get rid of the guy ASAP. Someone like that having any form of responsibility over your well being is a clear and present danger. Talking from experience.

For me, there is nothing bad in giving your house guard food. What kind of food am I talking about?

Whenever you prepare prepare food for breakfast, launch or dinner at least try and serve him one plate a day. Regardless whether been paid salary or not.
