nooooo bro the guy has zero point. There are issues at play here that you guys are not considering

1- the friend is out of touch with reality. They say the guy has been away for over 18 years. When the guy left naija 20k was a hugeee amount. The guys mind is still stuck in that era. One thing about japa ? Unless you visit regularly, your mind is stuck to the era you left naija in. To that man he thinks he is busting his guys bank account with 20 thousand. It sounds like a lot .

But notwithstanding, 20000 free unsolicited money is awoof to be celebrated and enjoyed. If you are already rich ? Just see it as your friend bought you catfish pepper soup and odeku. Go to a joint and point to the biggest catfish for 12000 and buy like 5 odeku and enjoy . What’s there to be angry about ? It’s free money

My guy came in some years back. He gave the guy handling his luggage n200 or so. The guy started laughing then he said - Bros e Don tay since you leave naija!

I didn’t say 20k is a lot of money.

The reason why the dollar value is irrelevant is because the same way Nigerians abroad shouldn’t be converting to naira when spending is the same way Nigerians in Nigeria shouldn’t be valuing stuff based on how many dollars it cost the giver

What is the essence of rating my friend as living in the US when he behaves like someone living in Nigeria? Anyways, to each Mallam his own kettle. I stand by what I posted

Why would you rate someone based on where they live? Does location add more value to a person than another?
Someone might have an opportunity that another person didn’t get. It doesn’t make them inherently better or deserving of higher rating than another.

if you must rate people, do it on a basis of whether they a good, kind and honorable person!

Only you and your God know if you’re a real person or a troll. This was you not long ago giving testimony and thanking God that someone sent you 20k

Fast forward to today and 20k is now an insult. Because the sender lives abroad?. And I’m the one with warped view?

I won’t even bother trying to get it to make sense to you.
Clearly that’s a job for the brave and patient

.
Coco stop being pained and stop talking trash that you don't know.

The 12 Dollar post is about a neighbor. The post you went and dugged out happened here on nairaland and everyone saw when mr Mayflowe.r offered to round the previous 80 I was gifted by a good man to 100k which he did and I created a thread about it immediately appreciating him. I don't know where he's based, He was just happy for me and decided to add to my blessing which all happened openly here. So why would you connect this post to a different event that happened openly here which everyone saw?


You only went and dug out the part I created the appreciation thread just to suit your evil accusations but refused to dig the part where it all started from the 80k gift post that made front page. You see you're the one trolling. They've sent you from your gang to come and cause commotion by accusing me of complaining about the blessing the young man gave me Meanwhile you didn't show or comment in the other post where I and other nairalanders were rejoicing you now come to accuse me falsely of shading my God sent benefactor.? Hmmm na so witchcraft dey start.


I see all the gifts I received that day is eating you up and you're trying to spoil the minds of those wonderful and generous young men but you lie!

By the way, shebi I've warned you before to stop nosing about my thread?
Re: After 18 Years In America, A Guy Gifted His Friend 12 Dollars And Hes Not Happy by cococandy(f): 10:05pm On Mar 07
The point is that if you can be grateful for 20k regardless of who sent it, your fictional neighbor can be grateful as well. I feel like that’s quite clear in my post. BTW there’s nothing to dig up. That post you literally made not that long ago.

@bold you have to be a comedienne ATP. There’s no way you actually believe that

Why are you crying more than the bereaved if I may ask?
I don't even need to explain anything to you, believe what you want that's your headache not mine.

God knows this post was not about the gentleman who blessed me from his heart. So keep connecting your Imaginary dots until it curves towards you. Stingy element.
Re: After 18 Years In America, A Guy Gifted His Friend 12 Dollars And Hes Not Happy by cococandy(f): 10:14pm On Mar 07
I’m not accusing you of shading anyone. Stop feeling guilty. I’m just pointing out to you how much you’re not making sense. Valuing money differently based on who sent it.

The whole reason why your “neighbor’s” 20k is valueless in your opinion is because the sender lives abroad. That’s the dot you should be connecting.
What offense did the sender commit except living in a different part of the world?

How many "customs" in Nigeria recognize a will? His wife can't oversee his company after his demise? The same country where widows are chased out with kids after a man's death for some jackals disguising as relatives take over everything. There's no difference - it's simple coveting and greed with a mix of wickedness.
You are right. But when they brother are all poor believe you in me , they will fight their live for his property. Especially when they trained him in school

Well then that’s a different story.

Giving based on what’s helpful in the local currency versus calculating in dollars is more sensible.

Maybe him being abroad for a while made him not aware that 20k is way less helpful than it was few years ago. In that case, instead of acting like the person is trying to be deliberately insulting, just accept that maybe they don’t know.
He already said he's aware of the hardship in the country. Why should I make exceptions for him? I would have had he not known but this is different.

E try but e no try.

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.

You are right. He should not have sent any money at all.

I haven’t posted on here in forever but had to login for this . Some of the replies on this thread is exactly what’s wrong with Nigerians - entitlement and pride .

The 20K/$12 gift is the equivalence of reconnecting with an old friend and taking them out for lunch at an eatery or buying them a beer or two and catching up .

Sometimes (older) family members I haven’t spoken to in a few years call me and send me 10k naira and say buy noodles with it or buy snacks with it ; it’s not the amount it’s the thought that counts.

Even if you’re a millionaire , $12 buys you Chinese takeout for lunch , or coffee and a sandwich for breakfast . It’s $12 less you have to spend from your own pocket

And like others have rightly said the person sending you 20k naira is likely sending that same amount to dozens of others

Jeez

As you also said it's random I just pray and hope God helps me to be picked among those that will be lucky to be chosen by you sir. Thanks so much and Good morning.

If you’re really in your mid 40s like you claimed in prior posts (I can’t tell when you’re serious or joking), but if true, that puts you >10 years older than me. How am I your aunty?
Or is aunty supposed to be a term of endearment? Or some form of insult?
Is it like when you sarcastically call someone “oh honey” but you really mean it in a not so endearing way?

True. In one of my other submissions on the thread when someone asked something in this line, I did say 'if I was starving, I WILL ASK, and take whatever is given with lots of gratitude'.

It's however a different scenario when I didn't ask, I am not hungry or starving then someone offers me money. Especially money I can make in 2-3 days.
