I don't know if I should be angry or just smile and take it as it is. This is someone that I fed, I clothed despite us being closed friends since we were kids. He knows everything about me that my parents don't even know till dates..We could go to a gathering together and I will be the one ordering and paying for everything we bought even recently because I always acted like the big bro and he accepted I guess .. Just last week I saw it on his status about is house opening invite. I later got a dm from him that same evening telling me about it that I should come through.

It came as a surprise I admit, even though I know he was doing quite well for himself. I know some will call it entitlement mentality but since I considered we were close like a brother we even ate from same plate last 2weeks, I thought I should have known atleast.

Note: I noticed so many people will come in here to call me names, even some accusing me to be someone with bad motives and sort I smile. Not everyone has a evil mindset like you or some persons you know, It's just that when you expect so much from people you hold very close to your heart you might get disappointed and it hurts badly.

Especially when you know you can't do that same thing to that person. I only brought it out here because I wanted to know maybe I'm overreacting because I feel a deep level of betrayal but hey I am happy for him and I will attend the house opening tomorrow.

Maybe you would have been happy if he asked you to lend him money to buy materials.

I really do not understand what the fuss is about.

Sad irony of life. If this is the case he is not your real friend, as he has failed an important test of friendship.

That said, he has done nothing wrong to you and owes you nothing, so hard as it is to take in, try and get over it, hold no grudge, but hold the vital lesson that he is not a real friend.

A real friend will be good to you, will never make you feel bad or treat you wrong, and also has a duty of candour to tell you the hard truth in a kind , firm but loving way, and a true firm will stick closer than a brother will.

It's hard to find a true friend with the description above. Count your loss, wish him the absolute best and hold no grudge. Your light will shine soon.

It could be so hurtful but you just have to be happy for him, so you won't be seen as enemy of progress.

It's understandable you are disappointed based on your cordiality, but then it's also a lesson of life. If you think you know somebody, you may not actually know them, so the only true friend you've got is yourself.

Wahala for those who carry friendship on their head. grin Your neck will break soon. I keep my boundaries. And most importantly, I deal with people based on specific purpose. Once purpose is fulfilled, I make haste. I have no regrets living this way.

I learnt this lesson after my Uni days. I realized friendship was a mirage. People stick with you to make gains. All those who claimed to be my friend did so because they wanted academic assistance. After uni days, na only back of car mechanic dey see after he fix customer car finish. cheesy

Peace and tranquility. wink

I understand you perfectly and have been there before....no one should call you names if they dnt have anything life has taught them.
There so many friends like that...some would even have more than you do but pretend as if, while you fed them...some may even have 100k in there account but wil rather beg or starve than removing even if its N500 to eat!
Tel that friend your mind n how you felt, perhaps he or others may say you are jealous of him but you know best..after telling him your mind..chose one;
Either you remain as friends but speak n talk less about your own plans n motives (even dont be the one to spend again) or
Stay far from him but stil communicate!

OP, some things are better done in secret.
U may have gotten some details of the house and told another ' friend' who cud pray against the guy's success.

2. Its a lesson for u. Even ur best friend shud never know many things about u or what ur doing.

3. Ur not his family member. In my opinion, if u were to b his brother, I'd take a different stance on this.

4. U don't know if the source of money he used is evil

5. Another friend of his may have advised him to keep quiet about the house plan until completion.

6. If ur spiritualy sound, u wud understand that building a house is one thing many families have been unable to due to ancestral yokes.

7. U misinterpreted the meaning of the word friend or friendship or brother or a state of togetherness to mean one like like a cult thing or something.

8. There is wisdom in what ur friend did. Walls have ears and the times we live in are full of evil.


9. Personally, ask ur self this: if ur planning to build a house will u tell ur best friend or friends for that matter? And to what aim? To advice u?


10. What makes u think u shud have had a clue about his building plans? That's like usually the biggest project for an African man aside business ventures. Think carefully about all these cos u sound like someone who wud tell the while world his plans.

WIth "friends" like this, you need no enemy.

Avoid the guy bro, I had someone like this too. Taking information and strategies from me, but keeping his "secret". Cut the guy off and stop giving him any information. Today, he is no better off.
Re: He Completed His House Without Uttering A Single Word To Me As A Close Friend by Winnin009: 9:04pm On Dec 22, 2023
Now is the time to stop being boys and become men.

Ask him about it and express your disappointment about the whole situation to him. Even if he didn’t tell you from when he built the house; he could have told you during roofing, during painting etc.

But don’t be confrontational about it.

His response will determine how your relationship with him will continue then on.
Re: He Completed His House Without Uttering A Single Word To Me As A Close Friend by gidjah(m):
THIS IS WERE I AM COMING FROM !op is a spend thrift and his friend got wind of that.So he intentionally kept this away from you knowing you will stop funding your groups weird spending life style if he tells u along d line that he is into a building project.He is way smarter and calculative than the op.This is a lesson to us all, be a wise spender ,never trust hook line and sinker. Then on the other hand ,his friend is a terrible deceiver and a Hippo! He eats ,dine and wine with his best child hood mate yet refusedto let him understand that life goes beyond "PARTY RIDER ' group !he chose to join d band wagon of "chop clean mouth'all on d expense of his own child hood friend.Thats an evil act of betrayal on d other side.EITHER WAYS ,BOTH OF THEM ARENT MATURE! If at least when he got to the" lintel level"of the building construction, he tells him "oboi,! stop this your DAROCHA levels and start building ,see how far I have gone "!! I am sure op too would have adjusted .

I understand where you are coming from, but you know it takes some months to build a house and during these periods of time, the acclaimed friend of the OP would have been dining and wining with the OP without telling him that he's building a house. He intentionally kept it secret from the OP.

Personally I don't see any sense in it. Telling the OP will not stop him from building his house, why then keep it a secret from him?
he sees the op as among the bad belle people na.
