kobe79:Chaiii, yo yo yo , even those that are cutting meat and washing plate in Africa store Na 6 digits Some people will just lie on nairaland. As if it's not this same America. Kilode, Fear God oo. |

kobe79:Well, since you've decided to be her solicitor, I will dignify you with an answer. People make 6 digits in America. The first question she should have asked is what kind of job the person she quoted does. Doctors, Nurses (depending on the years of experience, and if they do overtime), IT professionals, people who work in the oil industry and some wall street people make 100+ or more a year....depending on their area of expertise and years of experience. A lot goes into taxes and 401K anyways, but 6 figures will be the salary reflected on the individual's W2 and tax documents. Ask the olodo if $100,000 a year isn't six figures? Bolded, lol. I guess that question should be directed to yourself. Its been nice talking to u. 3 Likes |

Young man, help your immediate family when you can, be more particular about investment for your self and your kids. Plan on relocating your parents cos they may be kidnapped once the cash stop coming in. Afterwards change that FB account and retain only close associate. These same people will abandon you will condemn you if you didn't achieve anything after your days in the US, some can even wire you INTERCONTINENTAL OTUMOKPO 1 Like |

You aren't being forced nor cajoled into turning yourself to Father Christmas. Ask yourself these questions: Would these people survive if I don't help them this one time? How have they been surviving thus far? Would any of them be of help to you if the tables was turned? There is absolutely nothing wrong in saying No. No matter how much you give some will still be disappointed so what's the point in trying to help everyone and putting your financial future at risk (Your expenditure if true isn't matching your income and that's a disaster waiting to happen) 4 Likes 1 Share |

I feel you pains bro. Even those of us back home are not free from such requests and demands. You just have to learn to say no else you'll see yourself in ruins.My superior taught me something the moment I started working. He said, "Ibrokola, start a contribution (savings) where you won't have access to the money. Let it be deducted at source and so you know you are left with what you see on ground. That way even if it's someone you just can't say no to, as long as they are not included in your planned expenditure, you can always tell them you money is tied down in savings where you do not have access to it(without lying)! That way even if them carry you up slam you for ground, one naira no go fall out! #Shikena |

No! Just say No! You don't have to give any reasons, you don't need to explain yourself. Just say No! No matter How much you give, you need to have it at the back of your mind that demand will always be greater than supply. So being able to say No! is a skill you'd have to learn. Don't Please others and displease yourself and your wife and children. astrodome: |

Whenever they contact you with their stories, gently inform them that you are unable to assist at that point. If you are contacted again, repeat the story. That way a message is sent out to then that you've got your own bills to pay. If you feel you must give to the person, if he requests for $100, give 40 or even less. That way too, they'll understand that it a'int easy for you too. |

[b][/b] BabyDaddy20: "I don't have a high school diploma but i make over $6000 every month. I work for 5 days a week at $15 per hour." bros, the bolded does not match up. I assume that would have been a typo error, because even with 3 full time jobs at same hourly pay, u still won't earn $6000 every month. shalom! 2 Likes |

I am in the same shoe with you,I used to send slots of money to Nigeria before to friends and family, infact some of them will call you send me IPhone, Laptop etc, the Facebook am using before I have about 600 friends on it which is too much for me to manage, all I did was to shut down the account and open another one and I make sure I add only people I want like my old class mates ,friends here in Europe. Then I changed my mobile number with the New phone am using now which is my work phone is only know by my Company and people I do Business with, the other phone I dropped it in the Car or sometimes in the house and I won't even check it until after 3 days sometimes What is important to me is my constituency which is my father and mother with younger ones all I told them is to always drop a voice mail,send text to me on facebook or my phone, I will surely read it and reply, then about Facebook you can never see me online despite the fact that I have just only 110 friends now on facebook. One thing I have seen is that you can't satisfy every one which is a fact. 1 Like |

Bros, Seriously it is good to give but don't put ur self in a bad corner by trying help every body. If you dedicate a stipulated amount to give per month, once that is finished in that month, tell anyone that calls that he/she is on the cue because you have exhausted everything for the month. Make him/her understand when it will be his/ her turn...it might be next year or next two yrs depending on how many persons you have lined-up. Make them understand your problems too by telling them who and who are waiting for you to send them money; even though some might not be true...lol..If you continue saying NO; they will see you as a stingy guy. Family and YOU first!!!! We all have the same problem even here in Naija. All the best. 1 Like |

Deborahj: Good measures but still don't understand why you have to go through all that stress when you can just say No. Try saying No sometimes and watch how it helps create the necessary doubts on their minds before they make any future steps to ask you for money going forward. |
