Doesn't always make sense, people everywhere are billed whether locally or outside. Don't know why these kinds of threads always pop up as if those abroad run charity organisations for those living in Nigeria.

If you don't want to send money to people you just tell them., no matter your location.

Even on this nairaland, many request for financial help and they don't specify, if the help should come from local or diaspora.

If you feel like giving give and if not look the other way and don't make a show of it

Other countries send money back home from diaspora and they don't make noise about it they way Nigerians do. angry

When your lots become wealthy you look down on others as if you own tomorrow.

It takes total humility to beg for anything... should everyone has...no one would ever ask others for help cos it's shameful thing to be begging and we all have ego in us.


The best thing is to do your best and leave the rest.


It you eventually close your eyes till eternity today...all that you try hard to conceal and not share would belong to others that never laboured for it.
Oun ti ko to si ma po.

Some individuals make it a measure of manliness and take it as a profession to beg.

To them if you cannot beg you are not a man.
Begging is their profession

Good point bro. I calculated how much I have sent to Nigeria in 10 years. Over 400k U.S dollars.

I wept.

I have adopted no billing mode. No more!! It doesn't matter who is dying. I'm not sending money to Nigeria anymore.
..ok what about sending to your family ?... maybe to your younger brother, sisters and other members of your family...you won't send to them again

When I was abroad, the billings didn't make sense. What did they need money for?

(1) Brand new phone (90% of requests).

(2) New clothes

(3) Transport

(4) Flexing (club, pamper women or their side men)

(5) Affiliate marketing (what does that even mean).

(6) Brazilian hair. No future ambition.


I realized these people didn't have any problems and decided they had no more value to add. I left them.

The big problem is that loneliness can push the abroadians to talk to people they should ordinarily not talk to. According to verydarkblackman, you gonna learn and you gonna learn the hard way.

Why I left is that the abroad system is rigged to make people "poor". You earn a lot and pay heavy taxes. If you could be taxed for the air you breath, you'd be taxed for it. Then you go through the grind and one silly fellow would send a message to ask you for money to buy fuel inside generator.
I doubt I'd be able to help just anyone at bolded

I can only help to actualise your life ambition, career, health related cases and food at most

apart from your parents. You can only supports your younger siblings if he or she has shown commitment. You don't help by dishing out money to the person every now and then. Help the person so he or she won't be at your mercy again and he or she can also help someone else too

Op is right the begging is becoming irritating. In fact, to avoid it. You will need to hide from Facebook completely. Its funny staying on your lane just on Facebook even though you don't post. Some people will creep into your messenger and beg. The most stupid is when you don't even know somebody in person, and they will send you a friend request and the next thing is begging as if you don't have your family to Carter for.
u can't hide.what about those that helped u before.u don't have to give them money.at least,u can still communicate.

It wil be advisable to always assist people if you have the money or something to give out to them genuinely.

God will surely reward you in manifolds if you believe this. Am a living witness.

The money given to you is not only meant for you only. Though money is not easy to work for, still try your best to assist the neediest.

If one dies today , one can't be buried with all the wealth acquired on earth .

Kindly always render assistance because what comes round goes round. This is a small world

The only points I see here are points 1, 3 and 4. For me, other points are unnecessary.

If you can afford to help the people around you, do not hesitate to help them. Generosity is supposed be a part of human virtue.

God elevate us sometimes because of the people that are around us. So you don't have to go so low as going totally blackout or attacking people with your imaginary needs so as to prevent them from asking you for help.

People are going though a lot, help as much as you can.

You can only reduce it. If you completely avoid billing from your brothers and sisters, you're a useless fellow.
Nobody is saying you should not help them but you should cut off all unnecessary demands from them e.g. Uncle send me money to do my birthday party.

However, for your immediate family members, it's better to give them money to start something that can be generating money for them than always sending them money monthly. This will remove unnecessary pressure from u.

You missed the point and this your point: It takes total humility to beg for anything... , is 100% wrong. Some people find fun in always begging other people just to extort them. They just want to collect from you even if they have the money to do what they need help for. More than 50% of those that always beg fall into this category of people. They even lie to collect money from you.

What works for Mr A may not work for Mr B. What matters most is use your brain the way the situation at hand requires. But remember it’s not all assistance that you rendered that are vain. In some cases, you are the saving grace and such person may never forget you. All you need is use your instinct. Dnt over do and don’t do if your mind is not supporting the billing.
