If You Get Rich Please Try Avoid The Poor For Your Own Good. by bigpriik(op): 4:42pm On Jan 11
To avoid stories that touch once you start making money avoid the poor for your own good, I mean both male and female,make friends or date only your level, it's not pride or arrogance it's self security, we live in a very poor country and people are desperately looking for who to leech on and take advantage , Nigeria has gotten to the stage of survival of the fittest the country is now a jungle, you and I know Nigeria is full of envious and jealous people some can go the extreme to hurt you if they smell you are doing better than them.

Recently I started a small food delivery business in school and it has being doing very well, lots of people discouraged me when I started but I remained stubborn and continued consistently,sometimes I make 15k,10k and on better days I make 20k daily ,people noticed the changes in me and all of a sudden everyone wants to be my friend male and female , I became the first choice whenever they need money and help ,I was giving and giving until I borrowed sense and start giving them gap, this 2026 I have fully activated my introvert mode no more friends till I reach my financial goal.

You're still poor and already into class separation..... separating yourself from poorer people and advising others to do same. Very nice to see an opening and start a business ... most people don't look for such that are always around us . What changes did people see in you that lead them to believe that you now have money to lend? Is it you began flexing? They ask and you give ..why wouldn't they continue asking? ...and making you really feel you've arrived? Rich people also have problems .... how to keep what they have and not be robbed ... scammed nor kidnapped. For 2026 ...try too be humble and be around people based on their character rather than their financial status.

Guy, humble yourself. You aren't rich yet. Those folks run after you because you showed off or made them feel that you have arrived.
Re: If You Get Rich Please Try Avoid The Poor For Your Own Good. by WhiteIverson: 7:13pm On Jan 11

Sometimes you don't even need to show off before people starts begging,a simple changing of wardrobe will attract people around you to come seek for help. Sometimes you don't even change wardrobe, the moment you help someone he now sees you as the go to person for help whenever he is in need.

I see the dude as one who just realized that people are ready to take advantage of you if you allow yourself as the go to person for everyone, he may not put his words or thought process well but I understand the context of his message.

I undestand the message. But you see, while avoiding them remember that only the poor have true empathy. The rich can be ruthless if you cross their path. Little wonder Jesus did not allow Himself to be born in the house of the rich.

How much did it cost you to setup the food business.

It cost me just 5k but you must have a smart phone.
Its simple, I just go around campus collecting numbers of students and adding them to my food vendor WhatsApp group, I put it to them that I sell food but I am actually a middleman once they order I help them get it from the original food vendor then I deliver it to their location and collect fee of 300 naira I get up to 50 orders daily.

Op might be brutal with his assertion, but he's quite correct. According to Karl Max ; society is divided into two class. The have and the have not. And they are perpetually into struggle.

They haves always prey on the have not. They have not tend to hate on the haves for being responsible for their predicaments.

The elite understand this struggle better. It is the reason why they join their wards in holy matrimony, regardless of their religious and ethnic divide. To avoid infiltration and maintain the vicious cycle of wealth.

Op I can practically tell you that, you've made the right decision, because if the table were turned, those hovering around you now, would throw you under the bus... It doesn't mean you should turn off your humanity though. Being a better human, is the goal afterwards.

Lies. Only the rich are righteous in this modern times. The poor need preaching. And will always want to bring people down

This may very well be the case ... this is new to him. If you never had money then you wouldn't have no exposure to predators. Now that he has some experience... he learned something about people . You're on point bro.

The only thing I learned from this story is that children who troll Nairaland are bored undergraduates and secondary school pupils who exist on the edge of poverty.

Don't know you, but you just can't stop giving once you started. You still give but you're smarter and wiser. That's what your critics here are not able to get. Thanks 👌

Most are lazy in Nigeria, spend their time on religious hogwash, bigotry and playing gamble, the rest they gossip on who is the richest blablabla...unserious bunch.
Re: If You Get Rich Please Try Avoid The Poor For Your Own Good. by everythingtall3:
To become more successful , you still need people, you can't continue hiding and when you are still at this level of 20k or 10k is when you can meet real people that will be with you when you get to your six figure mark.

I made my first million at age 22, and i can understand your story perfectly coming from a very poor home. You don't have to run away from people, you just have to develop stories and don't buy new things that makes you look rich yet.

For example , I have had countless request for proof of fund this year but luckily my bank blocked one of my account and I've been using that story. That story can still last me for the next 6month before i develop another story ... that's how we run this town.

Don't run away from people , you still need them

My advice to you is never run away from people, weather rich or poor, you might be in need one day, and it's that poor friend might come to your aid (it might not be through money, just a simple I know this guy, na my man might help you somewhere.)
Just know how to draw the line, and know when and how to say NO, nobody will beat you.
For now, you don't have friends, those people that are coming around just want to collect from you, when they're done milking you, I they'll be gone like the wind.
Never show off, it's not healthy.
Re: If You Get Rich Please Try Avoid The Poor For Your Own Good. by extroveee(m): 12:38pm On Jan 12
But that's not an enough excuse to advise others to ignore the poor or distanced themselves selves from the less privilege, he should learn to say no to people who come to borrow and not refund, if you borrow someone or your friend money, without fear tell them categorically that this money you're lending it to them because Is part of your business money and let them tell you to when you should expect the refund once that day the refund day is due call them and ask them to refund the money, if they refuse keep pestering them untill they refund if they still refuse then note it down and never give borrow them money again if they come again remind them of the money, if they distant themselves from you then alhamdullilah just cut off from them completely.... Mind you never borrow anyone any amount you know you can't dash them, and never borrow anyone money from your capital and never borrow your money to someone you don't trust .
