not really, most people ghost their friends when they are going through a lot.
His friend might be suffering from depression abroad
He started going through depression from the first day he got their?

He was in depression that's why he did inform him that he was planning to travel until a day before?

This is multifaceted.
It isn't easy maintaining relationships back home upon moving to a new country. You need to build new helpful relationships in your new country and this place demands on your time, you are also trying to figure out your life in your new country, this brings mental stress and sometimes, you are not even in the mood for chit chats with friends back home which are not too helpful for your new phase of life, asides this, many other people are trying to reach out to you for talks upon hearing you have travelled out, seeking for gists and sometimes this can be overwhelming for someone trying to settle in their new place. Also the time zone difference doesn't make things any easier.
For those in nigeria, nothing changes for them so it is easy for them to still maintain relationships with those that have moved. Not to even mention that a majority of nigerians are secretely in competition with the next person and gets easily envious when you are having what they are not having even though they might try to fake being happy for you.
Allow your friend be, when he is settled, he might want to connect back with you.

I doubt the OP is saying the truth about that line.
There is no way he won't tell him and let's not judge, their relationship may not be too good while they were together.

I'm just saying sha

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
But he housed you when no one else would including your family and other friends. He inconvenienced himself for you any which way you see it. I guess he would have been better of rejecting your request for assistance when you needed it the most.
Alot of us have learnt the hard way to reject such assistance. Many years ago my egbon had this friend who recently got married and was evicted, his wife and infant child had no where to go. He met my bro, saying he was his last hope, all had failed him, no where to raise money. My bro asked how much it cost to rent another place, he gave the guy the money in full, saving him from shame.
Many years later that guy became financially sound and told other mutual friends he had a grievance with my bro. Guess what it was, he said when he had serious accommodation problem my bro gave him the money with left hand! This guy na Yoruba, we no be, so my bro no even get sensitivity of left or right hand. Him innocently give persin money, him mate for that matter, the persin turn am to beef.
Omo, I know two brothers, Yoruba and both billionaires, we their friends know their policy, they will tell you clearly we do not assist in any way, either financially or other wise. They can come to your house and dash your wife, kids or mother 1,2,3k dollars, they can send money when eg bereaved etc, but 1 naira they will never lend you. It is their policy they said the learnt the hard way.
Oga never help anybody, if you have money accommodate your family, spend your money on your self, fly your kids to London, France, UK, Turkey for good time, don't waste your money on people that will turn around to beef you years later.

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
now you have fully settled and go to Sheridan and Pratt Giordano's pizza beside Loyola university to eat deep dish pizza and don't miss home anymore 👀👀🤣🤣

Abroad life no easy. The man will reach out eventually. My then girlfriend who I supported through the process of japa cut me off four months after relocation. Six years later, no word from the woman. I don replace am since. I no dey waste time.
Probably she's having difficulty with life or she decided to settle for another johnny

That bro de lie, nothing anyone wan tell me.

Cause no way you’ll treat your friend right and he leaves for another country and you’ll still come to the internet to make him look like the bad person.

It’s either his lying about treating his friend nicely or he just cooked up the story for engagement!.

Op, I feel you, such can be painful, it has happened to me and I know how I felt. Mine was not even accommodation but more than that. Truth of the matter is that life should go in. Do not focus on that guy. Guess what, the guy that even did same to me we later reconnected and till today we are still best of friends. Na so life be.
Note also the guys abroad, the kind of pressure that are under to send money ( even when their levels neva balance) is too much. Some of them just avoid any calls from naija. You focus on yourself, leave they guy.

At least let the friend acknowledge the good things that was done for him and not entirely focusing on that bad side.

If your friend told you to delay your arrival at home because of a woman or he expects you to mop, I wouldn't really say it is bad treatment. It's only the inconvenience you have to endure for not having your own place.

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!
So you want him to tell him because he housed him and so out of envy poison him since he eat his food or drink his water? Yes we have seen it happen before.

The guy did well not telling him

Not at all. The heart of man is desperately evil. That brother is too good to a fault . The person he calls a friend doesn’t see him as one. He is a sneaky ass low life.
Circle of life is crazy, he thinks he is playing smart…give home boy time.
Almost similar experience here. Mofo got frustrated with life abroad and is back in Nigeria. I will stop there. Humans are desperately evil. Still a a great virtue to be good but also use your head and know how to sift through this garbage called “friends/ brothers “!

Yes that one dey but him not telling his host about his traveling plans till a day before leaving shows he has something in mind and which is now showing by excommunicating him
So you guys think it’s every cloths one spreads in the sun? Nope, it’s not.

For some people, their nature doesn’t like making their plans known to be others. Like my humble self and almost all my siblings, we always wait till things are fully done before announcing. It’s just human nature and once you know what works for you, stick to it.

The fact he accommodated him doesn’t mean he must tell him 3months before travelling that he was travelling.

You do not know people and leave of betrayal they can go through , just stop making excuses for a story you know nothing about. I have helped 2 people like this in the past and anyone who knows me know I do not complain about anything , it takes a lot for me before I'll complain about another person , both of them ghosted me just like this person. Some time early this year one of them called me and started apologizing on the phone that he knows he has wronged me greatly. He has been in the US now for about 10 years and says he has his American passport now and that he's ready to help me , guess what he still keeps tossing my line whenever I call him on Whatsapp. The last call I made was when he I called him and he shouted on me that he was at work and very busy , since then I've said I won't pick his call or call him back again

I read the whole post again and saw he was thanked. My mistake.

I never said the guy I quoted should become a slave. The guy didn't mention he was ordered around. He only said he mopped which doesn't automatically mean he was enslaved.

Relax bro, there is reason for every action and inaction, you can never tell if he has seen some bad traits in him or a jealous type or someone with loose mouth. You can be good to someone and still be hurting them emotionally. I have seen where a guy accommodate his friend and start sleeping with his girlfriend. I have also seen someone who accommodate a friend and still bad mouthed him to their neighbour that want to get job for him. His friend knows better than us, this might go beyond being ungrateful, because ungrateful people don't usually ghost you, they could be your friend and still not appreciate or reciprocate your kind gesture.

Besides, things are not always what we think they are, he might have lost his phone or his number, he might be in prison, he might have even been deported or left for another country.
