(Shalayeing things) Lmao he said "i don't know who you are ooo". I was shocked.

Real man how Because he snubs people he is a real man?? What a real man would have done is reply politely and end it there. My other friends both male and female that have travelled out, we still talk till date and we are very cool.

My story different sha, though it must be because I am not abroad.
Before he travelled we buy ourselves gift on our birthdays can be as little as you can afford. Fast forward to days or months he arrived the US comes his birthday so I created an amazon account gave him and told him to pick anything of his choice. I paid for them.
You won't believe the guy went back to order things. He claimed it was a mistake I couldn't get a refund till date he later blocked me on all social mediums when I texted him.
Not everybody wants their money I just want to have a genuine relationship with them.

Well, your so-called friend is a fraudulently dishonest individual. That in my book isn't a friend.

We talk very well as far as there is topic to talk about. It just about personality. One thing I'm sure is that I can never ask any of them for money except they give me with their own free will

As seen in the topic, I have two friend's that travelled to the U.S, One travelled 2014 and the other one 2017, though before they left we had a good vibes we were both close if not best friends before they left.
The one of 2014 stopped texting me at 2018 or so even when I wished him birthday wishes and same with the other. I knew this because I only texted them on Facebook and you will know when they read and not reply
I don't hold any grudges against them though
Did you guys think it's normal? Like if I leave Nigeria, Would I also ignore my friends text even if they do not request anything from me?

Please can someone just explain to me so I won't see my friends (maybe former friends) as bad ones.

Anyone who is genuinely your friend will make an effort to stay in touch. There used to be a time I used to work 10 hours a day 5 days a week and sometimes still go in to work on Saturdays in the United States. Despite my hectic schedule, I still made time for family and friends and stayed in touch so what are we saying?

That friend of yours is not a real friend. He is the kind of friend that is only available when things are not going too well for him. When things change for the better for him, he changes gear and starts to ignore those that were there for him when things were difficult for him. Is that a friend?

People who are proud will soon be humbled because pride comes before a fall. With the way things are going right now in the United States, many Americans both white and black who can afford it are even looking to migrate to other sane countries around the world. It is only Nigerians and those nationals who already come from highly dysfunctional countries where there are high levels of insecurity and rising levels of poverty that will see the United States as some heaven on earth despite their GMO laden, cancer-causing foods and lack of universal healthcare like we have in Western Europe.

White citizens from Germany, Netherlands, Scandinavian countries, Australia, New Zealand and Canada see the United States as a third world country with a Gucci belt. I have heard citizens of these advanced nations call United States a "third world country with the Gucci belt" several times before.

Ignore that "friend" of yours because he was never truly a friend to begin with. SHIKENA!

Many atimes, the time difference is a big issue. Many will chat you on their way home forgetting that it is during the day and they think you are proud for not picking up calls at such times. Here, you are measured by your efficiency and you cannot be attending to phone during office hours.

Also, some people do multiple jobs that barely leave them with time for socializing and before they know it, they have drifted from friends and family.

Another thing is everything here is do it yourself so imagine someone who works and have kids. The challenges are real unlike in Nigeria where people have help from different sides and reduces the stress. I belong to a group and most of the men were complaining when they first moved because now they had to learn to babysit the kids. Something they would never do. Gradually, their weekends have been taken away from their individuality to family life etc.

While these seem valid, it takes conscious efforts on both ends to remain friends.

One thing I have noticed from responses on here though is that the entitlement mentality is very real.

lol!...I have never heard that though cheesy

Or is it because the US is Immigrant friendly to people from most Third World Countries?

I guess Trump was right when he was lamenting that the US has been overused by Immigrants from most Shithole Countries especially from Africa...and that it's about time the US makes their Immigration System to be more Merit Base than low class of family chain migration.

As for the Healthcare system not being universal in the US that might be changing soon hopeful if the Democrats get power in majority to make that happen.

Those Europeans Countries you listed you claim have Universal Healthcare...is it free? Or aren't they paying for all those free social services with very high taxes.

But on a more Serious Note unless all those people who came up with that foolish name against the US ARE ALL HIGH CLASS IGNORANT AND JEALOUS FOOLS.

All those Countries you listed up there are all Obsolutely Nothing Without the US.

They Should all go read about the Post 2nd World War Treaties and what each of those Countries Especially Germany had to sign before they became what they are today.

Studying and hustling abroad no be beans, the little quality time you have for yourself is limited, should you wanna chat with friends then it must be something worthwhile. Before you say jack, some people will be hyping and describing how you enjoying not knowing you already stressed out. Sometimes when you receive a msg from some certain people, you already know na billing straight up.
