We shouldn't stop lending a helping hand to people, we just need to learn and know who to avoid

I promised someone 100k today but things didn’t go as planned for me and I sent 50k.
The only response I got was, ‘thank you’.
Me no send anything again because I wanted to give more later

My friend lost his job, so I started giving him ₦10k every month. A week after each payment, he would call asking for an urgent ₦5k. For three years, I’ve been consistent. I even helped him with his rent. One day, he asked for ₦5k again—I didn’t respond. From that moment, I became his enemy. When he didn’t get the usual ₦10k at the end of the month, he called and sent messages, but I didn’t answer. I’ve accepted the bad name with pride.

We use the term Friend loosely in this country.
Some people are colleagues, some are your acquaintances, some are your competitors while some are just your enemies. It is when money matter occurs that you would know who is who.

It's painful and quite discouraging but you just have to get over it, a little appreciation can go a long way in the journey of kindness. But you just have to move on and not commit it to heart.
Definitely, somebody like that doesn't deserve such a gift anymore. That's why I always show gratitude infact, over- gratitude for whatever is given or done for me.
Cos I always believe no one owes me anything. Not offended when not given and feel surprised (and appreciative) when given.

Oga entitlement mentality is relative. People are human and make ends meet through interactions. You cannot be rich and have a sibling struggling and looks to you to find his feet, you then say he feels entitled. You personally, no matter how well to do on you own level, you cannot tell me your childhood friend that slept and ate in your family house, your close paddy paddy roommate in uni now gets in a position and you require him to do something for you and you put pressure on him, he then says you are felling entitled. No be your persin?
Meeenn that is why northerners are different from us. I remember 1999/2000 I and a bro went to a ministry in fct, out of the 3 directors we met, the northerner was the one that treated us young men with dignity acknowledging our hustle, directed us to the Yoruba guy who was polite but said it was not under him, he then referred us to the igbo chap. Omo, let's just forget the experience with that fellow.
Aboki will not tell you entitlement. They will assist their blodas, we down south will say they are feeling entitled.
There is this politician from delta state, when his community was sponsoring village boys to go study abroad. It was his cousins turn, for reasons I cannot remember, the cousin stepped down for this fellow giving him his slot. Unfortunately after that the community scholarship stopped. This guy went abroad and excelled, a big time solicitor. A big man in the country. Will you say the cousin is entitled if he asks for connections for himself? If he eg has a child that just graduates and needs a job and is now pressing for his cousin to help out? Will you say he is entitled to ask for assistance from his cousin? Oga pray you have no need to ask someone you feel is your person for one thing or the other, you then hear tori that he says you are felling entitled.

even #50,I go too appreciate. Do you know what it means to let go of your funds,no matter how small to others? You are giving them a piece of you,so it pains to the bone marrow if that is not well appreciated.

Hhh4444:
Nobody owes you anything. Once you have this at the back of your mind,you wouldn't expect too much from anyone. Whatever help you must have rendered to someone in the past doesn't mean the person owe you anything. If he decides to reciprocate,then it's fine if not move on. It's high expectations that birth entitlement mentality.

Una know unaself, na why una no dey like help unaself.
Una no dey help for nothing.

Selfish lots!
