If You Were Prudent With Your Money, You Would Not Know Your Friend Is Stingy by Melezenawii(op): 7:14pm On Dec 21, 2025
If you were prudent with your money, you would not know that your friend is stingy. Knowing who is stingy proves you are no bigger than a habitual beggar!

That's not entirely true. You can be supporting friends whenever they ask for your assistance. However, the moment you ask for theirs, you'll know their true colours.

That's when you realise that some friends are actually useless. It will make you begin to wonder the essence of friendship if you cannot support one another. They are just there for cruise, vibes, and useless gists.

In life, everyone needs help, including Aliko Dangote.

I think the message is for those that called their friends stingy

The messenger though .......!

I don't like the messenger but the message is well delivered..

Stingy o, generous o, it is because you asked (always asking because you can't tell when it's once) that's why you know who is...

This message is meant for people like HellAnus grin

Reno's call for constant attention is concerning. Man lacks love or what? An ambassasor-designate? Haba? Always courting for attention. Common man shocked

What's Life without giving and receiving?
Re: If You Were Prudent With Your Money, You Would Not Know Your Friend Is Stingy by SeriouslySense(m): 11:25pm On Dec 21, 2025
My advise be prudent grin you may look stingy but dont mind anyone, if they are not doing your work or adding value to your life and if they can work but dont like working. Ehen.

Most people only want to take and take but they dont like giving even if they have.

When you see hardworking people, give.

Not entirely true, there are some people that are fukking stingy, you don't need to beg them to know that they are stingy. Even to themselves they are stingy
Re: If You Were Prudent With Your Money, You Would Not Know Your Friend Is Stingy by Bahamas95(m):
It’s not 100% true. Some friends take you as Santa Claus because you’re generous, but you won’t get shishi from them. You’re not supposed to ask before a friend gives.

I remembered a friend from school who always came to my room to eat. We were close. I shared things like eggs, noodles etc with him freely even though he still ate with me whenever he met me eating.

He went home every weekend and brought plenty dried fish because that's his mother's business but he never offered me any. He’d just finish it quietly. 😄

One day, my girlfriend (now my wife) craved dried-fish noodles and it was kinda late. He said nothing and kept watching his movie. You know women na, dem nor sabi ignore things. Benin babe for dat mata. She jokingly told him "Uche na crime for person to eat your fish? Please go and give me fish jor" That was when he finally brought some.

Deep down, I knew he was stingy, but I didn’t let it bother me. I’m not used to asking people for things because of my shy nature.

But why and how do you have time to know who is stingy


People have body odour, bad breath , , small prick etc

There are all kinds of people

Why would a man with a working brain have time to know wh9 is stingy
So what if a person is stingy

How is that your business..? It is only your business if you are begging

You say stingy to himself
Don't you have other things to focus on

Being prudent doesn't mean you should be totally stingy. A person who cannot give out of a small money will not be able to give out of big money. In life there must be balance. Charity is good, but should not be too much. Being stingy is also good, but it should not be too much, there must be balance

THIS MAN WILL NOT ADOPT AN AMBASSADORIAL DEMEANOR EVEN AFTER BEING APPOINTED ONE?
I HAD HOPED AT LEAST THE DEMONIC APPOINTMENT WOULD SHUT HIM UP!

I had a business gone wrong sometimes in a April and my corporate account was blocked. During that period me being broke wasn't because I don't have money.

Spot on Reno.
My colleague at work is a chronic beggar, he receive salary at 29th of the month and complain the other week that he's broke, thereby begging everyone for money without shame, in fact this has been is routine for every months, he ask me for money even though i can give him but i turned him down, because he has no shame begging, he is a chronic beggar and has no financial security, and always spending unwisely. But now he said am stingy because i never fall to his trap.
