You were never their friend...just an acquittance.

Sirchiboy:
I have know this guy wayback in 2013.
We live in this compound.

I could remember this was the period bet was popular so I normally use to win bet.
Each time I have game I give them and we all we win.

I could remember when I won 250k in 2014 and my friends including this guy that is rich now escorted me to collect the winning.

I dash them money and bought drink ...
Late 2016 we lost contact and I went back back to my state because things were hard for me.

2022 I heard that this guy has blow.
He now has a company.
Last month he bought a house and car in leakki.

I sent him chat on FB and he doesn't reply me.

I didn't ask him for money.
I just asked him to give me one or two business idea and this guy read my messages.

Never reply me.
The same thing happened too with these three Guys back in school that I use to help during exam .

These three guys have built houses, married and have cars.
I am still here struggling.
I swear and
I have vowed that this earth will favor me and this money all of us make it. . .
I repeat

Until you are rich, you will never understand!

richmond500:
They know u don't have a future.

Not only are u a chronic gambler but u won 250k in 2014 and used the money to buy drinks.

250k in 2014 is like 700k today, even u will ghost someone like u

250k in 2014 is 1.2m now

dtruth50:
I don't know if it's because I'm an introvert, but if I know you and you are rich, I will avoid you as if we never met, unless you talk to me first and I will never let anything that concern money to come between us.

I'm good the way I am.

You dey do yourself. If you like no network

Exactly dear. They were just rolling on then cos they play games together . Has he been on touch with the guy since ?.or because he heard things are soft for the guy he started contacting him . Truly once someone gets to a certain position in life , his circle of friends changes.. sometimes it may be that their source of wealth is questionable thats why they avoid their so called friends .I will advice the poster to face his life squarely.

The truth is that, it happens to everyone. I have some rich friends too that have ignored me and I also have some below par friends too that I stylishly avoid . Most especially when I am financial strained. So, my brother, do no take it too much to heart. And like the 1st Responder said. "Your vows means nothing!", only your plans, strategy, perseverance, ability to provide a good service or product matter.
I am not rich myself but neither am I poor. I also discovered the secret of wealth late, if I had known some of the things I know today, I would be in a better position.
Wealth is actually your ability to attract money/value/trust from others to yourself. Wealth is not created but re-circulated and individuals or groups with product, service or image will gain more from the re-circulation or re-distribution.
Not everyone will be rich or Not everyone is destined to be rich. Though money is good but should never push us to do evil. A lot of "rich" people do a lot of evil, not necessarily rituals (I don't believe in that) but cheating others through fraud, deception, stealing, embezzlement and so on are all evil. If you can do them, you may also become rich.
Wealth is also an attitude (attitude - means the way you behave), some have it naturally (even without them knowing it), while others learn it and some others just don't have it.
If you have the attitude of always excited to spend every little money you get, you can't be rich (except God wants to perform a miracle with you).
If you have the attitude of not being able to say NO to people, it will be hard for you to be rich.
If you don't position yourself for wealth by equipping yourself with the right knowledge/skill/certificates/jobs/business, it will be hard for you to be rich.
If you don't have plans for the future, set goals and takes steps, you will stray a lot before you may become rich.
If you don't walk with the right people/friends, it may be hard for you to be rich, for you may not be able to reason/project beyond your understanding but others can open your eyes/mind to certain things you don't know exist.
I don't pray to be rich, for I have nothing to do with it other than to give it out to other people that need it. I don't believe in richies. If I make money today, as in big money, only 30-40% will go to my children, the other will go to people that are in need. That is what gives me fulfilment.

250k in 2014 is 2.5M now

You can only find out when you get rich!

ibechris:
That is is about 2.5million naira.

I remembered I bought my first car from Germany with the sum of 500k together with duties around 2013 Sept or Oct there about.

Impossicant, you can't buy a tokunbo car for that amount in 2013, we were all alive. Try recall better

If you want to know the true character of a man give him money. Someone who forgets yesterday will never truly know where he is going. He thinks he has made it and has no need of you. Move one and forget about him. Pray to God to give you your own money. Friends come and friends go. Nothing really lasts forever.
That's human nature for you. At the end of the day it's all vanity and vexation of spirit.

NiceLegs:
It's normal.

The popular musician Mayorkun was my roommate back at Eni-Njoku Hall in Unilag for a whole year in 2013.

Then we knew him as Mayowa.

He was in Final Year. I was in Year 2.

He was even a squatter. We used to sleep on the ground. Managing our lives as students.

We were on good terms.

He liked my name so much that he even composed a song with my name back in the room one night.

Fast forward to when he became a big Star all thanks to Davido.

I reached out to him on Instagram several times but baba never responded to my chat till date.

Right now, I've forgotten about him.

In life, never force relationship with anyone especially when they have become rich because they will think u want to come and eat their wealth.

But what they don't know is that the friends you make when you become very rich are not your true friends.

Your true friends are those who knew you and loved you when you had nothing, were struggling and soaking garri.

Those are your true friends.

Money, Fame are all Vanity.

When the money and riches go away, you will see how they will run away from you.

Those that will stay with you are still those that knew you from day one when you had nothing.

Did he read your message? He might not have.

Many fans send celebrities messages on Instagram it might get lost in the shuffle.
And some celeb don't really have that time to go through everything unless someone who's popular messages them. Some may even stop checking their I.G messages.


However, if you were following each other before he became famous and he saw it but still ignored that's another thing.

Bro, thank you very much, I really gain knowledge from your comments..

I bought my first car in 2013 everything with duty 500k

The second one 600k in same year.

I used both cars for Transport here in Abuja.

I don't need to overflogged the issue. It was a Nigeria pastor in Germany who sent it down to me then.

Pencil mouth then was 1million at most car stands then
There was one Honda then that got sold for 800k foreign used then.

Mitsurugi:
A man was lloking for his missing diamond and they suspected one from a group of rats had swallowed it. His friend told him he'd find out who. And sure he did. A rat by itself in a corner. The culprit was all by himself by the corner. When the man asked his friend how he knew, he said it was easy. Assholes isolate themselves from the group when they make money.

Humans aren't rats... in reality NO ONE CARES about your struggles so why should they want to care when you have DIAMOND!?, that quote is a manipulation and BIG SCAM!

You no fit vex rich no matter what. You need connection and money to be rich.

aywagze:
That is wickedness in high places the bible talked about ..🤔

Quit your delusions!... wake up and realise no one owes you anything 💯

Karleb:
Most people become envious or feel less when their friends achieve more. Some want handouts etc.

It happened to me in 2018 when one of my dude bought his first car. I felt inferior, not gonna lie.

I have learnt my lessons sha. Even if my friend buys a country, I am still going to relate to them as my friend. No inferiority complex or anything. If the friendship is not going to work anymore, it won't be from my end.

The dude I am talking about now owns a fintech in lagos. He could easily employ like this.

I love your personality... you've learnt to be REALISTIC, no one owes anyone anything!

This is just the plain truth

MisterBash:
Most times,it's not deliberately planned, activities changed , business partners changes too, work, environment and many more changes also,not that we deliberately move on , but this people gets occupied with mostly what has taken them to that position and still aim higher, you don't expect someone to leave a business messages and meetings that will fetch more money and be replying to" hello bash" or what's good brother?
Everyone can't be available for us all the time.
Last last God go bless us all
Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 🏳️‍

Wickedlywicked:
Bless you, just what I’m about to say. I’m very conscious of my self pride (not to be mistaken for being proud) as I will only talk to you if you show desires to chat with me.
OP, you will understand their predicament when you eventually get to their level. They too must be facing one or two and trust me, you are the one thinking things are rosy for them and secondly, in this present Nigeria, nobody can give you one clear-cut answer to how he made his money because most of us don’t get it through just ONE magical trade.
Some even started with loans and petty trades while for others, it was just through sheer luck and maybe someone mentioned their names in some high places and to people that matter. Trust me, most are not being snobby or wicked, they are facing things that can’t be discussed with you because you are most probably not going to be able to help (they will prefer talking to someone/ppl who can realistically improve the lives they are managing and packaging).
Also, only get close to people who need your services. Believe me, we are living in a transactional world where people don’t help without getting values in return. Now ask yourself, if they gave you their productive time and helped you, what values would you add to them in return?
In fact, I prefer you asking them for a legally documented loan with collateral while stating your business plans and what they stand to gain than you asking them to give you business ideas or you could have asked them to link you up with someone who could give you access to such loan and clearly stating their own financial gains
Giving you such loan would still be seen as their own way of coming through for you.
When you get there, you will realize that nobody is doing okay.
May God ease your burdens and make things easy for all of us and may you look back and remember this day and smile in the nearest future🙏

Well from your name. Yes, people translate it raw but I know it means being realistic and factual... Godbless for the piece, truth will always be painful till the end of times!

Not always the case... priorities changes, all good things comes to end, change is constant, they too do know, except they're FOOLS!

Know this and know peace. Nigerians are in competition with themselves be it colleagues, family and friends e.t.c

Fact is most you broke ass niggas in that shithole are better avoided like a plague than tolerated.

Everyone is a potential leech waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Not to mention that it's far too dangerous to stay around people whose entire existence is given to the vain pursuit of money. The lust for riches, which has done tremendous damage to your psyche, is why I describe that country as a mental asylum.

You calling a different figure now. I repeat there wasn't any tokunbo car for 500k in 2013.... never was

i feel people abuse that quote either ways but

if i cant ask you for help nd if you cant assist me as a friend there is no point being friends ,

the funniest thing be say, the pioneers of nobody owes you anything are grass to grace dem


if you have the capacity to help a friend do it and if you no get let dem know simple ... nobody knows tomorrow and i dont believe anyone is useless, a poor friend might be your rescue everything is not money Life is deep.

You're right but my line of thought is... knowing no "one owes you anything" will make you work harder and get achievements, alot of people are too entitled nowadays. Showing love and help to people is paramount in humanity

D111:
No you are wrong,250k in 2014 is equally 3 million now
Bajaj machine in 2014 is 120k
Now is 1.3million

@op

I feel your pain, and it’s understandable to feel hurt and frustrated when people you helped in the past seem unresponsive or ungrateful now that they’ve achieved success.
Life can sometimes feel unfair, but I want to remind you of a few things:

1. Your Heart and Efforts Matter
You’ve been a good person—helping others win bets, sharing your winnings, and supporting friends during school.
Those actions speak to your kind and giving heart. Even if people don’t reciprocate, your generosity was never wasted.
What you sow in life often comes back, even if it’s not through those same people.

2. People Change
Sometimes success changes people, or they may have their own insecurities or reasons for not reaching out. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re against you or don’t value what you did—it could just be their own way of dealing with life now.

3. Your Time is Coming
That vow you made? Hold onto it as a declaration of faith, not bitterness. Keep working, learning, and putting yourself out there. Surround yourself with people who will uplift and encourage you. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think.

4. Stay Focused on Growth
Instead of waiting for those who ignored you, look for opportunities around you. Network, learn new skills, and remain open to ideas from unexpected sources. Sometimes blessings come from strangers, not the people we expect.

5. Let Go of Resentment
Bitterness can hold you back. Release any anger or disappointment you feel toward these people. Your success will be sweeter if it’s fueled by hope and determination, not vengeance or pain.

You have the fire and determination to succeed. Keep pushing and believing.
Your story isn’t over yet; it’s just building up to a powerful chapter.

Kai, na human being you be!

They are not friends but acquaintances

Stop visiting Facebook, if you must, create another account and don't add anybody you know before as a friend. Do this, and focus on making your life better. Thank me later.
