After 18 Years In America, A Guy Gifted His Friend 12 Dollars And Hes Not Happy by Jewessgratitud3(op): 11:18pm On Mar 06, 2024
A neighbor of mine called me on Saturday and was complaining bitterly about his Bossom friend.

He told me his friend travelled to the US in 2008 and after a few calls they lost contacts. Last week his friend messaged him and said he's aware of the hardship in naija and asked him to send his account details. My neighbor did and after a while he received an alert of 20k. I said wow!.. that's a miracle. but he hushed me and said I should let him finish.


He said immediately he did the conversion it came to 12.8 dollars. He now said after 16 years it 12 Dollar the friend could send to him that that's an insult.
I tried to make him understand the friend may not be doing well over there but he said the guy is doing well that he's weighing the naira value of the money and feels 20k is big money. He said he feels insulted. Me I just carry my two long legs Waka leave my ungrateful neighbor.

Is my neighbor right and did his friend do wrong by sending that kind of amount? 12 Dollars...

To me the friend did not do any wrong but my neighbor feels he could do better.that 12 Dollar is like 1,200 hundred naira to them over there.

Guys what will you do if you were my neighbor?

Entitlement mentality will kill some people.

According to elder Reno Omokri : Gratitude is a magnet that attracts more things to be grateful for. When you express gratitude in such an effusive way, when someone gives you anything, they will want to provide you with more things. Never be that person who says, 'You looked at me, and this is what you could give me?' That is the worst type of pride, and even your own family will avoid gifting you things. Everybody likes to be appreciated. And when you fulfil that need, they will ensure your value appreciates. Radiate gratitude, and you will graduate to plentitude. Don't go and be an alpha male who refuses to be grateful when he has been blessed with a gift. That kind of attitude turns you from an alpha male to a half a male very quickly!

Lol...this is worse than insult. It's better to not send anything than ring someone up after 16 years in the abroad just to send 12$.

Some people will say it's 'entitlement mentality'. But if I see you for road, you dey mind your business I come hala say I know say life hard, take 50 naira go find biscuit chop, before you die for our neck. You go reason better blow for mouth. After all, you no beg me for food or for money. Despite the fact that I just gave you my 'hard earned' money, you'd know in your heart of hearts that I just undermined you.

For 16years, bro has been managing to survive, How would you message him out of the blues to send him 12$. One carton of indomie.

Re: After 18 Years In America, A Guy Gifted His Friend 12 Dollars And Hes Not Happy by MrBrownJay1(m):
as i always say:" greedy ungrateful Nigerians (that are making plans on other people's pockets, rather than say "thank you" ), are the worst of the worst!"

do you know how broke that person may be?
do you know how difficult a life he is living?
so 20k gift in these difficult day and age isnt good enough for you?


do you know that some people are in the west for more than 20yrs and after paying all their monthy bills/loans/food/transport etc they are left with nothing?! ungrateful friends like you are the WORST OF THE WORST!!!!

Nobody owes anybody anything. If he feels like what they gave him isn't enough, he should hustle harder and give others what he feel is enough. I've come to realise that the most ungrateful ones are never in the position to help others, rather they are always in the position to receive and complain.

Him no need give am anything. After all, for 16 years, e no give, nobody die. If he felt it was time to do something, he shoulda have done something tangible, if he wasn't in a comfortable space to do something tangible he should have simply maintained status quo.

He showed you however much he wanted to show you or he showed you the receipt of the transaction as proof that the friend only sent $12.8? The receipt is what's important. Did he show you that? You didn't say the showed you anything in your OP. Don't lie now.

Lol...nor mind me. All forms of entitlement mentality is annoying. Any one naira one gets as a gift is worth a million.

Trying to estimate what it costs the person before you appreciate it is bad.
