It doesn’t matter how tough it is. He should at the barest minimum send an “Hwfa”. There is no excuse for such callous behavior. I’ve experienced same from someone I thought was a “friend”. Na the same abroad wey he go I don dey live too for almost 3yrs.
Thank God say man no be god biko.
I totally agree with you bro. But, what about if his friend has some health challenges or dead like someone mentioned above? Not that I am supporting the nonchalant of the person though. And truly, some people can't be predicted after using you as a ladder to climb up. All is well IJN 🙏

He is facing depression. That's the only reason people don't call. Abroad causes depression. After spending 20 million of your hard earned naira you get abroad to see that it's not the heaven you thought. Coupled with weather bills and racism and very high cost of living. It causes depression
You get it

Most of you think that relocating abroad is ticket to good life....no no...your friend might be going through hell or not even alive. There is a Ghanaian in my neighbourhood here in Rennes, the guy don go haywire Tey Tey....na so his friends and family will think he ghosted them while the guy is a ghost living on earth.

Bro live your life abeg. Some people are the reincarnation of ungratefulness. You call 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.
Bro nothing like ungratefulness.

His friend might be facing tougher time outside. Or u think say if u travel u don make am?
It take time to start afresh build up and become legal status in the land.
At times it takes 10 years etc

What do you expect me to say again. I'm not trying to be a messiah or paint him black. But this is not a matter of may be he is still struggling,no. He is a millionaire now. I know wetin I dey talk. I know about his doings here and abroad!!! Ajeh. We were good and cool and nothing like fight between us until I asked for help and he declined,so I couldn't take it again and I move on.
Note: I wish him well!! He is still my friend but just that we can never be best of friends again in this world.
When you are ready to tell your story on another thread, go for it. What is clear is that your story is nothing like OPs or the other guy whom you responded to. undecided
Re: My Friend Relocated Abroad And Ghosted Me Afterwards - Man Laments (Photo) by phadul: 3:08pm On Aug 03, 2025
You should be asking whether he is ok first of all not looking for a payback on the help you gave him

Firebox123:
which one is that you're feel betrayed

Did you even know maybe you're better than him that live in USA

Maybe your friend is suffering in USA like that you don't even know
Does that mean he should cease picking his calls or connecting?
I have a friend who still borrowed his friend who ghosted him after bringing him to Lagos, sheltered him.

Now you are at least getting the gist. Trying to win sympathy by telling a half-baked story of how you are some sort of messiah without faults ain't supposed to cut it in the world we live in, thankfully. undecided
But wait,let's believe all my write up are false accusations,are you trying to tell us that some people doesn't pay good with evil? Ingrate are real. Stop trying to defend evil.

[quote author=Asuun post=136326381]“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. The guy has always been an ingrate! There are people like that...... While helping them wholeheartedly, they are envying you, they see you as a fool they are using. Wishing in their hearts that they will make it far more bigger than you, and you can always figure this out in their actions sometimes. Such people will never update you on any information that will benefit you, that has been helping them. So the best you can do is to avoid these people if you are able to figure who they are early enough cosvthey dont have friends ........

Asuun:
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
How is this an excuse. If the maltreatment was that bad he should have left before staying for almost a year. Just dey find reason to excuse bad behavior

I myself experienced what you described but it had absolutely to do with money spent; Rather it had to do with the fact that one literally had to uproot and abandon ones life in one place in other to relocate and start over in the other place that got to me. undecided

For years,I didn't have anything to say to anyone who called so I basically stopped picking up an d pretending all was well with me psychologically after the move. undecided

One mentality need to be erased from people.

The fact that he travelled out of the country does not mean he is doing fine. Hommie definitely still trying to slight himself out and get balanced, and you already on Nairaland creating a thread that he ghosted you.

Do you know what’s going on there?

A colleague of mine in the university ghosted for over 5 years. I only got to know he was in prison all those times and got to knew when he was deported.

People already saying he stepped up from the crew and can’t roll with us again.

It’s a sin to jump into conclusions. You not even worried if something is wrong somewhere.

😂😂😂😂Abroad is not hard, however, it is not Nigeria where you can play Oga/Madam over the life and existence of others. That is why, even with all the complaints you hear, people would not dare give up the life they have here for Nigeria unless, of course, they have become fugitives or something along those lines. 🥱

Not all of them do in Nigeria. Same psychological sheet happens to even those abroad. undecided

I recall some family members cutting communication for many years back in Nigeria after they and we were hit by tough times. Nothing out of place there. undecided

What “psychological “ sheet will you go through abroad that supersedes people who face kidnapping, banditry, extreme hunger and poverty?🫤 We are all in the same abroad, there’s no justification to cut off close friends especially someone you supported you in your most difficult moments. Anyone who supports this must be practicing witchcraft. 🫤

In my own case, I heard from the “other side”. His excuse was “he's too busy make I no vex”. & that was the end of the conversation. It’s been more than 7yrs. Few months later God took me to Canada and the rest they say is history. 🙂

You may not know what your so called friend is passing through!
What could he be possibly going through?
What on Earth is he going through?

What was he going through that it's a day to his trip he's informing a friend who housed him for 9mouths?

He's not going through anything, it's ungratefulness and wickedness

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.
He did the best thing.... If i were him i will do exactly the same thing. Witches and wizards full everywhere, these things can destroy your chances of traveling abroad. Is better not to tell anyone until you reach there.
That man na wisdom man.

Let me start by making clear that mental illness is real whether one is in Nigeria or not. And it does not start or end with your particular experiences as each individual has their own set of worries separate from yours. undecided

2. OP did not say that the friend did not thank him at all. That said, we don't have his friend's side of the story to jump to conclusions here hence the reason why others are coming in to express what possible reasons there may be to the absence in communication. I know mine was mostly psychological. undecided
