My Friend Relocated Abroad And Ghosted Me Afterwards - Man Laments (Photo) by Asuun(op): 9:35am On Aug 03, 2025
“Not even enemies move like that” — Man recounts how a friend he sheltered for 9 months ghosted him after relocating abroad without a word 🥲✈️

Maliq said he never expected betrayal from someone he fed and housed during tough times. Three years later, he’s still processing the silence.

A friend lost his job and had nowhere to go, so I took him in. Fed him, housed him, for 9 months.

One night, he said his flight was the next morning. Just like that. Thanked me for everything and left.

I went to work the next day, tried calling him, line wasn't going through. A week later, he finally picked up. Said he was fine, he’d arrived in the US.

That was 3 years ago.
No calls. No messages. Nothing.

I’ve never felt betrayal in my life like I felt that day. Not even enemies move like that.

Re: My Friend Relocated Abroad And Ghosted Me Afterwards - Man Laments (Photo) by Asuun(op):
Possible Reason

While he squatted same friend, he would have also mistreated him badly and he had to endure the mistreatment. Some friends are terrible. When u start cohabiting with them, that's when you will know their true colors. I am speaking from experience. I was once squatted by a friend for two months and I saw Shege Banza in his house. He would text me to delay my coming home from work because he is Knacking a woman at home. Sometimes he will even preinform me to look for somewhere else to pass the night since his woman would be coming to sleep over for two or three days.
Na me go sweep, mop and fetch water. And I'm even five years older than him o. The day I finally got my own place, I had a relief. But I remain grateful to him.
It's well

Bro live your life abeg. Some people are the reincarnation of ungratefulness. You called him your friend but he treats you like an enemy, even getting a visa and not letting you know. That was the biggest clue but you missed it.

That was bad of his friend. Accommodation or shelter is among the 3 basics needs of humans. Well, nobody owe you the necessity to inform you of their travel plans but however, courtesy demands he could have told you much earlier before he traveled.

You've learnt your lesson. It's sad anyways.

Please re-read the post.
Did he say he was not informed about his friend's trip? He was informed, but very late. It wasn't like he left without informing his host

Stop justifying bad behavior.

You sheltered someone for 9 months without asking for a penny but he didn't deem it fit to inform you of his travel plans until a day before?

Someone that is traveling would have been preparing for months! It' takes nothing less than 6/7 months to start travel process. He should have informed the guy probably immediately he got his visa not a day before his flight.

You people just like to be ungrateful! If he didn't trust his host enough with his safety, he wouldn't have stayed with him for 9 months! He was just being ungrateful!

Leave that dude. People with bad character are not difficult to spot. Same people will defend bad governance!

Nigerians deserve whatever they're passing through.

No, it’s not betrayal. Many people that relocated abroad don’t find it easy at early 1-5years after relocating.. To Start life afresh can drain one mentally

So many many things to sort out especially bills and debts.You don’t expect people to to sleep online replying your chat all the time when no serious issue is bn discussed ..

So many Nigerians always accuse people that migrated out of the country of having pride by not getting in touch with them the way they used to, without considering what that person is passing through
Re: My Friend Relocated Abroad And Ghosted Me Afterwards - Man Laments (Photo) by SeriouslySense(m): 2:09pm On Aug 03, 2025
Perfect comment, you said , many people abroad are not finding it easy, not everyone will have it easy, it can get very very difficult.

He should have mercy on his friend and empathize, dont see it like he neglected you.

That's not the point. You missed it. Someone was under same roof with you and never breathed a word that he was as much as travelling abroad. That's a serious red flag.
Re: My Friend Relocated Abroad And Ghosted Me Afterwards - Man Laments (Photo) by JONSYN7154: 2:13pm On Aug 03, 2025
If he doesn't Ghost you then allow him to Spirit you.

The guy will surprise you in his own time.

Allow him to settle down joor.

Many people have nasty behaviors and you can predict such potentials. Here is how they support themselves. Lol.

What is so hard to communicate your friends when you move abroad? Even after 3 years? Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook,
X, etc. 3 solid years. Is it too hard? Is the guy asking for anything yet? Lol.

And if he did not get in touch ever, just move on. It happen sometimes like that.
