No one cares about you. Understand this and know peace. if anything happens to you and you get incapacitated, all those people will stop greeting you sef. I wonder what is driving you to be this loose, it is def not generosity. Myaybe you want to be liked by everybody and be seen as a ''nice guy''. Like Shettima saidf, Nice guys dont make it, they sell Ice cream. Keep being nice, believe me you wont achieve anything even when you start making better income. Should you not help people? not at all, but have boundaries.I dont even know what to say, just shocking at how you are being used and still gullible about it. |

I'm so broke right now to feed is a problem, the lesson I. Did till today almost almost 3 months the woman refused to pay me for it... Responsibility here and there Wan finish me and last few months it's the same me giving someone 5k, 8k imagine me asked for money before doing something and I do pay even with extra at times I don't use it. I see laughter here and there because they have noticed things aren't well with me and honestly I don't blame them. Be good but never try to please people they don't appreciate you. Me that gave out Glo Café cheat to my neighbors immediately I asked them to share me wifi they said I have used mine and I never knew not until someone told me... The other one off hers, the next one he changed password... And it's 75G for a day. Now how do you expect me to do good again for such people, leave people matter leave spirit guard yourself before you become beggar as na only garri I dey drink since I just dey indoors make I cook now na my room their children go come stay. Leave people oh, reduce the way you spend money, even if you're helping tell the person you're helping that they shouldn't tell anyone or you'll stop. Just don't make it too often. |

You caused it. You wanted to impress everyone. Moreover, i am not discouraging you not to give to people but you must use wisdom. Do not do it frequently or an everyday thing. Only do so when it's necessary. As for me, if i give you something and you keep telling people making it look like i am a mugu or FatherChristmas, you will never receive a dime from me again. |

Leep:My elder sis gave out her phone to my neighbor kid because the mum said he needs it due to the BECE examination for jss3. That after examination he will return it. Now the other issue is that my cousin sister kids who are little use that phone for movies and cartoon. But still we agreed to give them my cousin sister wanted to go to PTA and asked the boy to give it to her then it was already Friday evening as per say weekend no school. Saturday they'll have PTA she didn't want to take the kids so they'll be busy on the phone. My elder sister came home and saw the phone with her kids no greeting, she refuse to even accept greetings... In front of the woman other 2 kids inside she started shouting why did you collect the phone, what will their mother think? Is it your own it's mine leave the phone. My cousin sister tried to explain next she started crying and she started saying did she do anything wrong to it was just for 1 day... From the incidence she started crying then she cried herself to sleep saying the insult that my elder sister said to her in language that she was a burden and very soon she would be do everything to make her leave. I finally asked her not to go and took a plea on her behalf because the next morning her eyes were swollen. From that day onward the mother of the boy brings food stuff we even reject some at times... Now since 2weeks examination has been done and dusted nobody from my neighbors house has come to return this phone... My cousin sister was warned at work after she explained everything to remove her mind for the phone and give her kids hers... She told them why she doesn't give her kids. Because the screen was pulling out but she will try to get them a little children tab. My elder sister is complaining saying next time they'll Come for it. Her boyfriend was so angry he wanted to collect it but she started saying it's hers then he told her he doesn't want to hear her complaint period. It's because of you I still posted this to let you know that if you always think about how others see you, you would just end up hurting yourself more. |

The problem is that you currently lack wisdom and are the type of person who considers what people say and likes. You want everybody to like you, but it will never happen. Now, have you ever taken note of the parable of the 10 virgins in the bible? The five who refused to give out their extra oil were called WISE. If they had, for instance, considered that they would be called stingy and all sorts and given out the oil, they, too, would have been FOOLISH. You must know what is givable and in your case, not much. If you want to go FAR in life, you must learn to say NO. and as it is, right now, you have to learn it. So what can you do? 1. Write reminder notes on your walls, diary, and phone saying I WILL NOT BE FiNANCIALLY FOOLISH 2. Travel somewhere for the weekend or a week (This is to help activate the new you) 3. On return, zero your face, respond to the kids' greeting without a smile. Greet anyone outside and ignore any conversation they may try to bring up like where are you coming from, did you buy bread etc.....even if it means snubbing them. 4. Your will, spirit, tongue, and heart will fight you, but remember that you have determined NOT to BE FiNANCIALLY FOOLISH 5. Whoever comes for financial assistance, tell the person eyahh that you are currently looking for 5.6 million to execute an urgent project. Keep saying this. I believe this will be easier for you as you develop the mental muscle of saying NOOOOOO. 6. Avoid discussing with neighbors, sitting outside together, and interfering in others' conversations—no matter how much they interest you. 7. Start saving to relocate before your rent is due. This is because you have already spoilt things here. So getting a new place will give you the chance to start better. 8. Strategise on how to become financially better. 9. Study your bible. 10. Avoid nonsense. |

Leep:You don't want to take correction You cannot and can never save the world. Only Jesus can do that. What you are engaging in is financial recklessness. Tell this same story to you parents and see the response you will get. You can't save everyone, you will go broke and they will still mock you |

Leep:You remind me when half my UK wages got sent home to help people and the people kept multiplying. When I went home to be with my father for a while and spent my time farming, my village people would never see me going but would always see me returning and ask what I brought back for them. I eventually learnt their spirit does not tell them what mine tells me and their philosophy is different to mine. I also learnt to say no to them and my spirit. |

Leep:You fear rejection and confrontation. There are unresolved issues in your childhood that is at play here. Remember that song from Mayokun "No let dem see you finish Dem go finish your biscuit Dem go finish your sweet Shakara don end oh." Learn to say No. Sometimes, just for the fun of it. |

Leep:You are buying their love unconsciously. This is stemming from the fact that you don't have parents or siblings! You need to see a psychologist so you can undergoes a psychotherapeutic session. You are using money to buy love and attention and that's the most devastating thing one can do! Lol! If you were a bad boy this would have being the most seductive tool in your hand! However,you are like osho-free now. The male version of a loose girl. You know the way men despise ladies that give out sex freely to everyone? That's how those women and children would despise you for giving out things to everyone without collecting anything in return! It's easy for you to flip the coin tho but as a professional I cannot type such here |

Haven't you hear/read the story of the farmer who can hear the animals speak? Go and listen to the richest man in Babylon but here's the moral of the story. In your quest to help someone make sure you don't bring their burden on yourself. I gave this story to a guy I meet recently he was a scarb dealer. This guy is generous to a fault behind his back they call him (mumu Moses) He will help and like helping people however the ijaw culture always see people helping as fools (my less than 2 months of living with them says it all). If you're a generous person here(bayelsa or river state waterside) you'll lose your shirt. Or given or stand as a garrantor for them loan or whatever: just ready to pay the money. This guy will do everything to help them without collecting a dime but when he borrows from them they'll add interest.( gbanasa) Not just interest ooo gbanasa compounding interest This guy sold his house when he was in trouble and couldnt pay the interest Now he told me he's still owing people I was like how? You use your profit to help people and borrow money to fund your business He borrowed money and it's compounding. I just shake my head and decide to stay far away from him. I like him a lot but he's a time bomb waiting to explode. I don't want to be around him or in the target area when bad things happen. |

Are you aware that if anything bad happens to any kid or even adult you give edibles to, you will be held responsible. And are you aware that the mentality of the people in your environment won't let them reason with you. They may even kpai or seriously maim you before help comes. Or if it doesn't get to this, your name could be soiled for something you truly had no hand in. Probably if you keep this in mind, you will stop risking your reputation and life in that environment. In this life, where possible its better to give money and non-edibles than edibles. In your case, stop all for now or reduce all drastically. They will respect you more. Seems ironic. |
