Lmao... Bro that reply doesn't match the level of help he received.
I've seen people show more gratitude for receiving 10k than what that guy received for saving someone's source of livelihood 😁.

At the very least you'd have offered to take the guy out or something.
Some of these things are unwritten rules.
Probably the guy nor rate who help am.

Ibime:
Anoda angu.

It is possible that in the process of the discussion where the N4.8m figure was given, the friend has already showed appreciation and the text is just a follow up.

Ibime:
Na lie

Anybody who says "thanks for the referrals" after you saving their business is proud and probably in competition with you in their mind

I will call my friend and say "Oh boy, you done save me oh, I cannot thank you enough. Please let me take you out make we wash am" etc

BlueRayDick:
Answer the question: How did he know the exact amount the guy made from the referral sales?

Kimbeast:
You are inventing another angle to defend your stance. The tweet was quite clear and straightforward. As others have said going by the information from the tweet the friend was ungrateful. There's no two ways about it.

BlueRayDick:
In what world is saying thanks to your helper termed as ungrateful? Does thanks have another meaning in your dictionary?

The guy is literally complaining his friend only thanked him. The quuestion nobody has been able to answer is "what does he want aside thanks?"

It looks likely the matter is about financial gratification. Every other thing na just blowing hot air over nothing.

He is probably vexed because his guy no reason am "something" out of his unexpected sales.

Years ago I helped a friend who was sacked get a job. One day out of the blue the guy and his wife showed up at my place with cartons of juice for my kids.

This country is HARD right now and it is these acts that can make or break people.

Someone I know is about to be hooked up with a job with a salary of over 2m a month. In this economy. If you like be telling the people who made it happen 'thanks for the referral'

Kimbeast:
Maybe ungrateful is a strong term to use. His friend was apathetic.

The guy might have expected something more than just " Thanks for the referral" hence his disappointment and I can understand that. His friend show of appreciation doesn't match the favor he received. He literally saved his business and he replied with an half ass comment written by chat gpt.

Ibime:
Nope, I doubt someone that can mobilise N4.8m in sales from friends in 3 weeks will be seeking small "something", he done pass that level

It's either the guy showed the appreciation in a phonecall, or he didn't show appreciation with that lousy text.

Someone who can casually generate N4.8m from friends in 3 weeks just by casual referrals is probably highly social and has built habits around social norms (like expressing gratitude)

These are norms in society

11 years ago one of my padi (not the closest) was getting married. I bought all the drinks for his wedding, both soft and hard drinks. The Baba wasn't strong then but is stronger now. His wife has never forgotten that act till today. Anytime we see which is probably once a year, she will pack all manner of foods for me. They even insisted we stop by their house for 2 nights while we were driving round the country on our summer holidays this August and she asked us to send list of every kind of Naija food we want to eat in advance which she meticulously prepared.

Even as of 2 weeks ago, he called me and my wife asking for our shoe sizes and our childrens shoe sizes, e be like say he done see better hookup for shoes. My wife asked why the guy is always going over the top for us, I said it's a Nigerian thing, Baba is still showing appreciation for what I did at his wedding 11 years ago.

I have a friend who helped me in school when things were really rough for me. He was my secondary school mate who was working and running a part time program in a different school while I was doing full time program in my varsity. I was dead broke that period and he came through for me by sending me cash despite having his own responsibilities.

I was his best man on his wedding day and contribute significantly to his wedding ceremony. Evey December I give him at least 25kg of rice and a pack of drink. Till date I still send him money at random (At times when I get an allowance at work, I just make sure a part of it gets to him without any explanation as to why he's getting the money). I told one of our friends that there's nothing that guy can ever do that will make me mad at him or never speak to him again; he earned that right.

All this being said, me O I don't expect people to go above and beyond or cross the 7 seas to repay any good deed I do. Neither do I make an issue out of it if someone just says Thank you for any favor I do. I don't have high expectations, and I don't usually get disappointed.

No be the same people/Nigerians dey talk say Israel DMW too dey appreciate and mumu himself for Davido?

Most of the guys I have done favors for, and those who did for me, we still remain friends and talk regularly where we still drop casual thank you's years after the act.

There are a few I hooked up with jobs, the only thing I require is that you also pay it forward to another person. So anytime I call you that another person is looking for someone to train them or help them with job search, write Letter of recommendation for them, or refer them to internal jobs, you too should come through for them

If I hear that you didn't try at all or were not willing to help that other next person, Na there I go begin get issue with you
