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.
Heya but I heared those that can go intro drug deals are those that built mansion in Nigeria and will proclaim abroad is d only place to make it on earth 🌎🌍

Abroad don cast.

When we were little, those abroad build Duplexes and send cars back home like it's nothing.

Make your Uncle enter Yankee or Germany, before 2 years dollars and Deutsche mark (before they adopted Euro) respectively don dey flow.

Nowadays, na abroad people dey tax those at home.
That's why Nigeria bank managers are quiting their jobs to come and drive cabs here?.

Entitlement is written all over you, and I can smell it from 9000 miles.

The best way is to assist with what ever little.. the economy is hard.. some days those abroad would want to come home,only those u assisted would welcome you . Be wise, there is an unseen reward which would be repaid some time in the future.
I'd advise anyone over there that wants to help someone here, don't give money for unnecessary things... Don't even gift the person money at all, except it is meant to be used for a business that can make money. If you just gift people over here money to do as you wish, they will have it at the back of their mind that they can always call you when they have any small issue. And the billing will become regular. And when you say no, you become their enemy.

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.

The truth is that it's not easy here too... I've tried d the blackout style, but folks still find me come Facebook, dey fill my inbox with all sorts of financial requests.

I do help when it's convenient for me. The one wey vex me pass na last week when my old time school mate chatted me and told me that his wife just gave birth, that he needs any financial assistance I could render him. The thing touch me she, I gave baba 60$ to manage, that about 67k in naira...

Instead of this guy appreciating me, he told me that the money is too small, that is it not dollar that I'm earning, that if I give him 400$ that it won't remove anything from me. That talk alone angered me and I blacked him out. Baba dey do exchange rate for me.

It's not easy anywhere, that the fact. We also get numerous bills to pay... Car insurance, electricity bills, gas and water bills, house rent... The truth is that most of them asking for money cannot even work the number of hours we work here just to make earns meet.

It's 2.09am here, and I've just finished clocking my hours, getting ready to go to my house.
Damn! That your classmate is crazy. He wants you to give him a whole $400... Damn! Ungrateful dude.

Omo, about the work hours. One of my cousins was talking to my aunt the other day and I overhead him saying since they born am, he never work like this in his life till he got to America. He said it in Yoruba, Omo, I wan bust laugh. I understand what you guys go through.

I know someone who spends 90% of his online time defending the Aso Rock Baba druggie on Nairaland, and uses the remaining 10% online time to beg people for financial support citing hunger and deprivation.

that's the way it is in every western country bro. Oyibo dey pay according to the hours you work.

And no one gat anybody time, nobody can even dash you 1$.

Like in Nigeria, if you visit your uncle on holiday, when going back, he fit give you 5 or 10k to take hold body, but here, he no dey give you shishi.

They best he can do is to pay for your train fee.

Lol... No mind the guy, this is a guy that I never chop him money when we were in school, just that he sabi book wella, so he helps me with assignments during our school days. Maybe that made the guy dey expect 400$ from me, as if I pick money from the streets of Connecticut.

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

If i mention just anybody do you know them ? or celebrities are not humans ?

Nobody will ever spend 100% or there whole money to help people, you are not talking to a toddler ogbeni
mention one millionaire that is a kobonaire today becos he was assisting the needy, celebrity is just a title they are human.

All those Actors that are suffering today, go back nd read there story, you will see most of them lived a reckless life, womanizing and living extravagant fake life.

Infact i dare you to go dig out "JUST ONE" celebrity that is now broke becos he was doing give away cheesy Find am you WIN
there are people online including celebrities that have been called out for doing giveaways while their families or children dey suffer. How many of those that did giveaway during pandemic still do ithuh Givers don dey lack abeg.

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.
You don't get, in fact I'm a helping type even if you can't help me. But when you now realize the crowd, is becoming too many, you will just face your family and ignore others. I see it as insensitive, to me it's like they are informing each other.

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.

Oga i deal with facts, even as you dey shift goal post you aint still making sense, is it Musa Ahmed that is doing give away that his family are suffering or tonto dikeh.
Even regular people as mayor of ekiti, Mr banks that do regular give away did there mother call you dem no see food chop.

Lemme school your stingy ignorant ass, there is no billionaire out there that became rich by "Savings" or blocking people not even one.
Wealth is dependant on streams of income and as long as it flows like persephone1 period you will outstand your expenditures,
Nobody gives 70% of there net worth as give away, meaning you didnt go broke becos you are generous rather you got broke becos your income stop flowing as it should.

Own your stingyness with full chest, but you see all that nonsense justification you are citing is off point. Davido, don jazzy, tonto dikeh did give away during covid 19 and till now they are still doing, show us your uncle that got broke becos he was giving urgent 2k

If i don't mention popular people how will you relate with what i am saying,
Are you aware dangote owe debt, 50cent owe debt even gaint of africa swims in debt, Poverty of the mind is worrying you seriously.
Oprah donate millions of dollars yearly yet she is still richer the Akagum jayZ,
Lemme rieterate, Nobody gives 70% of there net worth as give away, therefore it is not feasible for anybody to go poor becos he/she did give away.
Extravagant spending on luxuries and menopause on streams of income or investment gone wrong is why any rich man will suddenly go poor.

i am vested against misinformation and poverty mentality, telling people if they are generous or kind to people will make them broke/poor is a misinformation that must be allowed to slide. You owe nobody, you have right to be stingy But don't come online misleading people, if davido give out 90% of what he has and you save 100% of your income till you die you can't be as rich as him.
You don't wana help people why is it paining you each time you see others help

This is pure wickedness and gluttony....such friend deserve whatever I'll treatment you gave.


No matter how little a person gives the needy is expected to be highly appreciated and commended because you never worked for him and wouldn't kill him should he say no.


Just do what is best in your capability but don't completely shut people out cos tomorrow is usually a misery.
