Some don't have so much, but are not interested in your money.

There is something called 'friendship'.

Some have-nots are independent and do not feel entitled.

coolcharm:
How do you define poverty?

squash47:
Stop giving one sided advice. Who poor today fit rich today.

Coldrux:
You had better stay humble. Someone is still richer than you so stop deceiving yourselves.

The money u think u have is a chicken change to some people and such people will also definitely avoid you. He who is poor today might be rich tommorow. No condition is permanent.

Can any friend here pls assist me with 5k?
There are so many needs to be met. I look at my siblings, I feel like shedding tears

mastermaestro:
Be humble bro. Life comes with unpredictable storms. He that thinks he stands should be mindful because he could slip unexpectedly. Life is a slippery road. When you think you have arrived, ugly things can happen suddenly.

The poor will always be with us. Reach out as much as you can.

Useless post from a stingy guy

I escaped poverty by providing value to people who have money, not freeloading off others.

In fact, I don’t have 0 reason to give any one a dime. My pride didn’t allow me beg, I worked hard instead.

I did odd jobs, slave off as a cleaner/house help etc till i can save enough to get what I need to learn a skill.

After learning a skill, I look for job, manage my money and utilize the little I have till it becomes big.

You see, I owe no one.

Towards the end of last year, I did some calculations, realized I am being too much of Father Christmas, and made that decision to cut off freeloaders.

I’m with OP.

lafuria1:
You are right, poor friend will borrow and never pay back And also steal from you because they feel you have enough And so you will understand.

zanshi:
I am not trying to compare who money long pass,i am content and humble in person. But it's the unending financial request is what stresses me out, sometimes they would spam your phone to the point where even no sef hard.

haybhi1:
Lol... these things are not exactly like this o. Only really poor people (people with less than 1.5M worth) reason like this.

If you see AZ, the person who invited me to cbex, you will laugh and assume he could never have 1M in his account. In fact, he started with 50 at the time. Today man worths >15M. My own financial life has improved. Our friend, who doubles as first person I invited, bought car from this thing. Someone from NL who messaged me late last month, this guy is astronomically richer than I am, like US to Nigeria, he'd never seen me, yet my guide gave him 8M on Monday. Countless other cases like that.

Now the point is all of this started from only one person, AZ, who the OP would have assumed poor and ignored. Lol, make una no dey reason like chicken na.

You'd be surprised how some rich, wealthy people today started out together.

Toosure70:
You're not well raised, poverty is not contagious man. Do you know tomorrow? I just hate this write up, please delete it mod

yemmit90:
And who would you move with before you become rich? Because if rich people also think like you, they will not allow you to get close to them before you become rich.

The best bet for you is to become rich in isolation and start looking for rich people to associate with.

abba190b:
Shut the FCK up. You are just stingy

Bakrabas:
Remember @op if your car fell inside the drainage, it's not your Rich fellow that'll gather to help you. These same poor can die for you if you have a menial tasks to carry out.

You didn't become a Rich man because you're smart or because your business is triumph, remember there are others in the same line of business that are still struggling.

You don't know tomorrow

VinnyBaba:
Bcus this OP don manage dey see Small change, he is now seeing others as Poor.

He does NOT know that his 'improved income' is what Wizkid's or Tiwa Savage son will use to buy Ice-cream or assorted Biscuits.

The OP does not know he has a Very LOW and POOR mentality.

Fiscus105:
Are they doing it for free?

Let them push it for u today and tomorrow without putting something in their pockets, tomorrow Na OYO you dey

OYO = OWN YOUR OWN.

diamond68:
I personally believe if you are rich and you have a poor friend you hang out with ? You are a very wicked person. How can you be hanging out with your friend and you know he is poor ? Is that not wickedness ? Listen there are two options, you either pull them up to your level so you can hang out in equity or you should cut them off. Why would you be hanging out with a poor friend ? That's a dangerous situation. You are putting your life at risk. Pull him up to your level or cut him off.

zanshi:
Pulling just about anyone comes at a cost and this is the same as building wealth in itself. They may have the stomach for it and they may not.

I don give friend 400K to start a bizzness 2020 years after he told me "Ehnn make i no lie you, i no fit do that kain business."


Still at square one today.

zanshi:
At least i am not trying to gum body with perceived rich people just to latch on their finances as a bambiala. I would rather offer value in exchange.

yemmit90:
Lolz, look at the way you twisted the answer.

Since the rich should not be associate with the poor according to your analogy, why should the rich be associate with you even though you are not after their finance?

And according to your write up, rich and poor people has nothing in common, and the later is mostly fill with envy and jealousy, so what value are you saying you will exchange with rich people as a poor man?

zanshi:
Many years aback, my mother use to make a statement, "Move away from poor people, and mingle more with your level'', i use to find that statement to be rather classist, but i can tell you that she was right. Yes inequality and poverty is rife in our society, but there is a limit to what you can do to help people's situation.

The year 2024 has been a blessed one for me business wise, as i got to invest more of what i earned in my business but the call for help, please help me send, can you lend me request can be overwhelming.

As a hyper independent person it is sad to say that i haven't even gotten a gift from people i have helped touched their life in one way other. Even people who borrowed with the promise to pay back haven't fulfilled their commitment.

I am blessed to have a bit of financial success which i hope to last long and outlive my generation, i can't inconvineince myself to beck on everybody's call. At every point i must look at how i put myself first. So this 2025 i plead with all netizens to put themself first and discard any freeloader that may be a threat to your finances.

Did you become rich by staying away from yourself when you were poor? If not, you are not being factual here at all.

You can spend your whole life in the midst of rich people without becoming rich. You can mingle with the rich and become rich. You can mingle with the poor and never get rich. You can grow up, build your career and become rich in the midst of poor people. It all depends on you.

The poor people around you are never the reason you are poor. The fact is that when some people like you make money, they look for an excuse to maltreat and oppress the poor people around them. You need the poor to accommodate you when you can't sit with the rich. You consider the poor useless when you afford to sit with the rich. Inconsiderate and selfish humans.

You people operate with a very stupid ideology with which you see an innocent friend of a thief as a thief but see a poor friend of the rich as the poor he is.

Dangote didn't migrate to a richer or the richest country before becoming the richest black man. Many claim that Lagos is where music talent pays. But many guys started in the East and became international stars while many in Lagos are still struggling to perform in their streets.

gigabyte13:
No be person wey you help in most cases go help you.....
If you dey expect help from those you help, you go dey disappointed....
If you keep staying away from the needy because, they are asking from you
One day , you will need the needy to help you out, it may not be financially this time.....

Look at it this way, God bleseses you financially, for the sake of those in need.
Avoid the ungratefuls, but don't get tired of helping the GRATEFULS.....

Itwas:
You don't have one single sense.

Fryx:
I’m rich enough to take care of my needs and pursue my desires without depending on “ those who has the mind to give out to the poor.”

Mr freeloader. My POV was never directed to you. If they changed their mind, it’s because I speak the truth.

Whoever tells you anyone is poor.

merits:
Why? I will never stay away from poor friends but my NO is NO and my YES is YES when it comes to help out if you are not satisfied with me as a friend you can stay off me by yourself.I don't fake things and I don't pretend I say it as it is.
