My dear because he knows you doesn't mean he's obligated to do anything for you. Stop having this ENTITLEMENT thinking. Yes you were friends and he forgot about you. Move on, become a star and make sure you don't forget others

Sometimes, when people shout, "nobody owes you anything, even your closest friends", sometimes I just shake my head.
Either people are surrounded by wicked friends or they don't share so many fond memories with some close friends that they just forget them easily. I know if C. Ronaldo have forgotten his closest friend who made way for him to rise to stardom, some wicked people will say Ronaldo doesn't owe him anything. Thank God Ronaldo isn't like that.
Back to the matter, there are some people in life you can't and ought not to forget no matter how made you've made it in life. Yes, this life is a personal race, but there some people who helped you get where you were with their sacrifices and commitment. Being at the top and saying you owe those people nothing and they should go hutsle their own, or saying they have entitlement is been heartless of the highest order. We should stop all these please, only few people (and I mean very few people) get to the top without commitment and sacrifice from people or friends.

Mind you, the above post is for very close friend(s) that you people have passed through a lot together and not normal friend or peer group mates
Ronaldo’s story amazes me and teaches me too. If you notice, it’s the same set of friends we hear from his story that he still hangs out with closely up till this day. He tries at least to remember everyone who helped him; the story of two women that fed him burgers as a little kid comes to mind.
While it’s true no one owes nobody nothing, I believe not everybody can make it on their own without some form of help. Others will need strangers to open up the door; and some it’s our close friends/acquaintances that’ll do the job. Point is we all need somebody to lean.

This is the same problem I have with Nigerians. If kelechi was still hustling in Nigeria, I don't think this guy would even want to associate with him. Kelechi owes you nothing, go and hustle so that you can be better than kelechi.
Truth be told..let him go and hustle bah...
but fact be told, Because ur friend is rich doesn't mean u should hustle and be rich too. some people here on earth made it through their friend.
I once had a friend in secondary sch then whom i spend alot of cash on but today he is in to yahoo business and when he sees me he will zoom off in his car like he doesn't know who i am... such is life.
But imagine ur child hood friend with whom u do walk with, do things together and even eat togeda from one plate getting rich nd then putting u aside, it's so terrifying....... what i do know is that not everybody will get rich but we can be satisfied with the help of other people...
I read a post about C. Ronaldo abt his childhood friend that made him who he is today bcus of just a single goal. today the guy is enjoying Ronaldo's money.... that's how life should be.



So before you tell Op to go hustle and look for life else where, just sit down and think how you did feel if ur childhood friend or secondary school friend just drove pass you even after knowing it was you. That memory will keep haunting u.

MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND HAS ROSE TO STARDOM AND HAS FORGOTTEN THAT I EXIST.

Kelechi Iheanacho was my childhood friend, we grew up together in the same neighborhood Nekede Old Road Owerri IMO state. We played the street balls together under the rain and scorching sun. We attended the same primary school; Unique Nursery and primary school Umualum Nekede No 4 b/stop as at then but has relocated to a new site now. We did almost everything together but today grace has found you and you've rose and clapped your way into the corridors of fame and stardom, you're now a celebrity not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

I remember how we conquered the environments of Ama - ato. Azuatalam, Chigozirim known as Podosky and you and I. If we are not there the games won't be fun but you've forgotten so fast and now mingles with those that you met after being famous.

We played an academy club "Danish" together for years before you moved to Taye academy how can you just forget those days so fast?

I remember how happy i was when i watched you play for Nigeria under 17 in UAE 2013.. I was not surprised when you conquered the world in that stage because i knew how good you were prior to then. Your senior brother Uchenna couldn't give me your contact because we are no more on the same pedestrian, you've moved higher.

Hear this,

I'm writing this not because hunger has finished my life but because a picture with you now will serve as a story i will tell to my children. Don't forget that the bodyguards and security personnel guarding you from people coming close to you, were not there when we use to go to the bush in Uzo ubi those days in search of riped fruits. It pains my heart that you've forgotten most of us who suffered with you and grew up together with you in the hood.

It's hard for me to get reach to you again as i've followed you in all social media platforms, Instagram, twitter, e.t.c. But it's easy if you want to get to me, if really you want to.

Please whoever that can reach out to Kelechi Iheanacho should help me and show him this letter and tell him it was written by Bala as i was nicknamed those days.

Rising to stardom doesn't mean you should forget those who grew up with you. I still remember paying for some matches we watched together at the viewing centres even game centres for PS2 (PlayStation). The things we did together are so enormous that i can't put all in writing.

Friends, i know Kelechi Iheanacho may not see this but you that is reading it now, don't forget the people with you now when luck shines on you.

Don't call them lazy, poor or feel irritated when you see them coming to you. We all started from somewhere and grace found you.

Godswill Uche (A.K.A Bàlà)
I hate reading rubbish like this. This guy hustled and made it, he is under no obligation to help you or anyone outside his family. The fact that you both played in the sand doesn’t mean anything . Nigerians should stop having this entitlement mentality , it’s crazy and stupid. Hustle your own , if he remembers you and come to help thank God cos he has got his own baggage that he bears

I agree with the person above me
I have friends who are into yahoo who are driving Lexus but due to the fact I'm not Interested in internet scam they left me thinking I'm way below their standard even some of my friends whose only priority is to buy cloth left me saying I'm dropping their level by always wearing shoe and dressing like a teacher

As a young boy with a bright future they left me I also leave them
Let's now assume things change I now become a star one of them is now posting the pictures we snapped in childhood that I did not remember them I swear it is SARS I will use to come and remember him
op if you stand by him till the very end I'm sure he won't forget you
Go and check what you did wrong
You played ball on the street together, played as teammate against others doesn't mean you are close enough for him to remember you
You really hit the point with these comment.
I suspect that the OP must have lost touch with Kelechi the moment Kelechi left Nekede to play in one small academy before his rise to stardom.
As a student of Fedponek, I lived in Nekede at that time when Kelechi was playing football on the streets of Nekede, but I'd never noticed him. But I have a colleague who plays football a lot and used to notice Kelechi back then.
I am sure that the moment he left that area to go and struggle elsewhere, most of his close friends, including the Op must have forgotten him, only to remember him again when he shines for Nigeria in a U-17 world cup.
To draw this conclusion, I use myself as an example...
As an intelligent student back then in school, I had more friends than enemies. Most of them only came close to me so that I can help them in exams hall or to solve difficult assignment for them. After graduation, some of them forgot about me immediately, while some were still checking on me for one or two more years just to know if I have landed a high paying job. About 7 years after we graduated, only one of my colleagues still call me now even when he know that I haven't made it yet. The rest (including the ones I used to help) either don't have my contact anymore or don't even care to get in touch with me.
Imagine if they hear tomorrow that I've become a national or international icon and they start looking for my contacts. I will make it very difficult for them to reach me and even ignore the ones that found a way to reach me. One of them might create a thread like this, claiming that he was my colleague and I've forgotten him.
I heard that this same Kelechi had built a decent house for one of his childhood friends in Imo state. Why didn't he also forget that friend? The Op should ask himself why that guy forgot him instead of creating this useless thread.

All trashy comments I've been reading right from page one and had to stop because of y'all venom on the guy and for my own sanity too. "He owes him nothing, he owes him nothing"... Your close childhood pal isn't doing well and you abandoned him not that you have tried lifting him up and is not working out. Even at that, try again at least to have a just cause of leaving him behind, where is our humanity? I purge myself of all those comments I've read. Tomorrow you will see him doing philanthropy and making philanthropic moves, philanthropy should start at home and that includes those that are your real pals. If y'all think Kelechi made it on his own with nobody's help, y'all know nothing about life especially in this shithole. We know how things play out in this shithole. What with letters and all that shit happening in that glass house. We rise by lifting others.

See my brother, really nobody owes us anything. This is the reason why we do things for people not because it is the right thing to do but because we will benefit later. Then why do we vilify our young ladies when they only date you for what you will give them. Why do we complain of nepotism, padi padi government and throaway merit. So you expect kelechi to leave working with people who will take me higher to begin looking for Op who might not offer him anything, only to remind him how they played football together and start making demands. This leaning is very manipulative so to speak. Many of our brothers abroad are giving their savings out so as not to look bad even to their own detriment. The world is big like a football field and we can all work hard to achieve our dream. I agree with you if they are close firends closer than a brother.
My brother, I get your point. Now why I'm saying all these is how some people get to the top and forgot those who sacrificed for them only to forget them as say "let them go hustle their own". Point is, it's not as if you should help everyone as a must or accommodate everybody, but there are very few people in our life that suppose to have that help from you. Now I don't know this Guy's story with kelechi, but if they're so so close and they've been through a lot together, it's unfair of kelechi to just shut him out like that(like I said, if it's true).

In some search I will discover that the person I am looking for had died many years ago.

We meet to part and we part to meet. Nooooooobody owes anybody obligations to assist him or her except one's clooooose siblings. Most especially kids, wife and parents.
My closest friend in pry 6 then, years after years, we hardly talk even on Facebook. Did we have quarrel? Not for once.


In Nigeria we normally angry unnecessarly on someone who owes u nothing, when u get to a joint ,if you don't buy for them they become angry, when u board same vehicle you don't pay for then quarrelling, when u date a girl and parted, in future she meets u as better person and refuse to start footing her bills wahala*
I get your drift but pry 6 is too young to say you and someone is very close together and have been through a lot. For you two not to be chatting much on Facebook justifies why your friendship isn't that strong like that.
For the 2nd paragraph, my bolded statement (I feel) answers that, cos someone who's been with you through and through won't even leave you and both of you wont even have lost contact

Thank God you finally made a point in the end. Kelechi must have at least a childhood friend he can't forget. Not all friends should be remembered.
This guy lamenting here may have done some things that kelechi will remember and ask the bodyguard to block him.

You talked about C-Ronaldo and how he helped his friend. Have you listened to their story as narrated by CR7? Why do you think that was the only friend CR7 ever had from birth?[/quote] The friend did something quite sacrificial for cr7 that's why he's having such big benefits. That doesn't mean cr7 will treat some of his friends like that too(after all friends pass friends, and friends get levels). I wanna ask a question: what if the friend did something close to what cr7 friend to him, would you be among those saying kelechi owes him nothing?

Kelechi owes him NOTHING but it will cost Kelechi NOTHING to reach out to his friend.

I can bet Kelechi has not forgotten him and will reach out to him.

It is a plea for help by a friend and Kelechi can be an assistance to his friend in need and be a friend in deed.


He Should get help from his family members and current friends.

Kelechi owes him nothing.

You may never ever be as rich as them, you may only get comfortable yourself

I have a friend who started yahoo yahoo and fraud when i was starting university, it was up and down for him at the start but recently last week bought a 56 million naira house in lekki

No one any salary earner can save or earn up to that tbvh.

If I tell you that there are legit businesses that can make Yahoo boys envy you will not believe me.

I live in Onitsha and I know legit business men who are billionaires doing legit businesses.

I belong to alot of foreign Facebook marketing groups where alot of multi millionaires in dollars are, one of the group is Clickfunnels Official.

I have an American guy that generates 1 million dollars on his software in 48 hours without paid ad on my Facebook friends list.

All I need to learn from his mentorship is to pay $5000 dollars

I have many others including Nigerians who earn an average of 100 to 150k dollars per month constantly.

All I need is to get the capital and buy their mentorship programs or relocate out of this country because of limitations of doing business online.

I am already into real estate agency business which is a high paying hustle so dude all these things is why I am yet to join Yahoo Yahoo despite the pressure.

Believe me if you see what these guys earn online legitimately you will know that Yahoo boys de learn work.
