₦airaland Forum

iLegendd:
Now, let's get started.




Some of you don't know what is going on. Put yourself in my shoe and you'll know I have a kind heart more than 99% of those abusing me.


I was broke in 2016 and I came to Nairaland with empty stomach (just the same BAON members are running around NL with empty stomach) to read news and I ended up creating threads after realizing lots of men were having issues in their relationships, marriages, not lasting long in bed, not knowing how to keep a conversation, lacking confidence/sense of humor, etc. and I proffered solutions to their relationship problems for free.


A lot of you abused me, called me broke, and said I should go get a job or get lost, but I smiled and moved on.


It wasn't easy handling all these abuses. Someone who came to help for free, but look at how he is being abused by the same men he was helping for free with knowledge about relationship.


In 2017, I decided to turn those articles to books and started selling them. I didn't open a thread on Nairaland to beg or join BOAN (Beggars Association of Nigeria) even though I was broke before I started selling those books.


I called a family member to help me with 10k and he did. Is that begging? Who knows?


To me, it's seeking assistance from a family member. Begging is asking for help from someone you don't know or two of you aren't acquainted with each other.


I used 6k to buy a hosting plan and the remaining 4k to buy domain name called Wetclef.


If it were Nairaland beggars, they'll squander the 10k or pay a debt, borrow again, and create a new account to beg again since the business is lucrative and they know the format to use.


With the money, I built a website (forum) myself called https://wetclef.com and hosted it. 


All these, I was doing while these people were still abusing me. I'm not a fraudster and I'm not a ritualist or a Yahoo boy.


A lot of the people that abused me and said I should go make money were into scam or one fraud or the other. 


As a person of mindfulness who hates to cheat others illegally or steal what isn't mine, I kept pushing legitimately.


I used the forum I built to start promoting those books and I posted them on Amazon, PublishDrive, etc.


As God may have it, these books started generating me thousands of dollars (= millions of Naira) on foreign bookstores like Apple, Amazon, etc. 


I went further to build my own online bookstore called https://shop.wetclef.com and people all around the world come to my site to buy my books.


Remember:


1. I wrote the books all alone

2. I proofread and formatted the books all alone

3. I marketed the books all alone (while they abuse and call me a hungry bookseller)

4. I received all the abuses from Nairalanders all alone

5. I built those websites all alone

6. I stayed awake working day and night all alone


Now the money is coming while I sleep and invest some in Cryptocurrency, Agriculture, Technology, Real Estate, Transportation, etc., everybody wants their share. 


Those who used to abuse me have abandoned or deactivated their old accounts, created new ones and are now begging me for help as they disguise as saints in dire need of financial help. 


The moment I don't oblige, they abuse me. (They don't even know if I have invested the money I currently have — they just don't care; all they know is: there is money, so give them to me. What is the difference between them and kidnappers?)


Even though these people have hurt me the most, I still have a soft spot in my heart. If only they know how many Nairalanders I have helped privately with 5k and 10k and I don't talk about them online/offline because it's bad. 


If you calculate the 1k, 2k, 3k, 5ks, and 10ks I have sent numerous Nairalanders behind the scene, you'll be shocked. 


They don't come online to talk about it because I told them not to and also, they don't want to because people will use it against them and they will also use it against me by bombarding me with fake praises because they will soon come for their own share.


Olamide helped pay Majek Fashek's hospital bills in the US and told them not to say it.


Laycon helped a hospital with half payment of all SS and AS patients and didn't talk about it and you want me to talk about mine?


There are hundreds of Nairalanders who have bought my Lasticle book and I told them not to come online to talk about it, but if the book didn't fulfil its promise, they should come online and vent their displeasure and they'll get a refund. 


Till this day, no one has done it, instead, they send a private message to shower praises of how the book has changed their lives in the bedroom department.


Some people praising Mr. Lexus here are doing it for a reason — they'll soon PM him or create a thread to ask for help from him. They see him as the new maga and they will praise and worship him till death. They did it to HungerBad.


These same people don't worship and praise Seun, the person who gave them a platform to conduct their begging — instead, they abuse him and tell him how archaic/backward the site is.


They don't worship Freebasics that gave them access to access Nairaland for free. They only worship whoever they are currently sucking dry and every other lesson is a fóol to them.


In this life, everyone is manipulative to an extent. Nothing goes for free. The adulations a kind man gets today is not free — he will pay for it now or in the future, else, it will turn to hatred or they'll accuse him of being sentimental and he only gives to get compliments and praises.


Remember, not every rich man or wealthy man you see today worked for their money. Some stole, some inherited.


Those that worked hard/smart for their money are too wise to be manipulated with fake praises and adulations.


Despite all the setbacks I faced on this forum, I have helped more of those who abused me on this forum and I have shared more cards also and I'll keep doing, but only at my discretion.


I don't know why these people who wanted me to give up in 2016 when I was starting can't let me spend the money I worked for the way I want?


What have I done wrong? No.

Have I scammed you? No.

Have I abused you? No. (If yes, check well and you'll know you started it).

Have done anything fetish to block you from making progress? No.


So, is it a crime for someone who is diligent in labor (day and night) to spend his money they way he wants?


Haven't I being kind enough? I have given fish, I'm still giving fish, but most importantly, I taught you all how to fish.


Check through my threads and you'll see them — I posted those money making secrets for free.


Unfortunately, you people don't read those threads I created that will change your lives — the ones you read are the controversial ones where I'm in the kitchen snapping or cooking this and that. You prefer fun and drama to being focused and making money.


To those who love abusing me either out of inferiority, envy, or jealousy, I don't give them attention, money, etc., God will be with you and open your eyes to find your path in life so you can stay focused and achieve your dreams and wealth without distraction or begging.


Look for a mentor and stay focused. Unfortunately, I didn't have a mentor, but focused and unphased by "bring him down gang." I kept going.


In life, be organized and work with a pyramid. That's what I do. If you don't do this, people will manipulate you.


Don't mix philanthropy and impact up.


Some philanthropic work people do don't make an impact — they make the beggar keep begging.


How many kind Nairalanders created FREE threads to teach you how they made their money? I bet it's not more than 5%. 


I have done this. This, alone, is way more than any amount anyone can give you on this forum, but we worship money over everything.


Most people can only give you fish, but they'll never teach you.


I deserve some accolades, not envy and abuse. #Smile.


Though, as the rapper, Ladipoe, would say, "I love the jealousy, but hate the envy."


If you're religious, you'll know that God doesn't bless envious people easily.


Purge your heart from those harmful emotions and stay focused. In this life, you're on your own. The day you'll realize this, you'll stop feeling entitled.


Someone like Slowmir has gotten lots of praises on this forum for promoting fraud while someone like me who encourages legit money gets abused. This says a lot about this generation.


Do you see the pattern? Evil is the deal for Nigerian youths. If you don't promote it, they'll demote you.


Thank God say God no be man.


I keep my life clean, I keep my money invested, and I keep my speech blunt — get used to it. 


I have never made a financial promise on Nairaland that I didn't fulfil as long as the person comes to redeem it before the expiration time.


At the same time, I don't want to put myself in a position of assistant Jesus — where people will see me as their last financial hope and when they finally suck me dry, they'll laugh at me behind my back and say, "He used to be rich, but forming philanthropist and dashing people money anyhow without thinking twice made him poor — he is so unwise."


The same way Nigerian women dump their "once rich" boyfriend or husband for another is what they'll do to you.


I intentionally call myself Mr. Stingy, but trust me, it's a lie — it's just a defensive mechanism to avoid fair-weather acquaintances; they are too manipulative, so I decided to block the loophole early on.


To survive, you must be smart and think ahead. 


To die, you must be intelligent, but don't think ahead 


To die in silence or be used, you must please people, else they'll be displeased and hate on you.


Nobody wants to be hated except those who are smart enough to know without hatred and obstacles, there won't be success.


Also, note that it's not everyone who shows remorse against you truly hates you — they just hate the fact that they aren't as successful as you, as popular as you, as cute as you, as smart as you, or as progressive as you, etc.


So, hate doesn't really exist — what does is transfered aggression/pains.


If you know this, you'll know peace and achieve success faster.


"Started from the bottom now we are here." Drake.


The sky is big enough for all birds to fly and all stars to shine.


Don't try to stop another man's star and also don't abuse because another man refuses to support your star. 


Don't scam and don't support scam. Don't put your hopes on begging strangers/others. Don't create new accounts to beg after using your old accounts to abuse innocent people.


You are on your own — you only have God, your brain, and your family members to lean on.


Failure to realize this and hoping on destiny helpers on the Internet leads to depression and untimely death caused by frustration/suicide.


That's all I have for now and I pray you learned one or two things about


1. Moving on and ignoring the abuse with confidence

2. Staying focused even when they don't believe in you or write you off

3. Handling envy and jealousy like a man

4. Handling scammers who concoct stories to beg and making the real beggars look like scammers too

5. Succeeding and investing

6. Helping people without them pushing or controlling you to do it so they can call you good names and shower you with fake praises after they've gained from you or because they want to gain from you in the future

7. Handling manipulative people who disguise like Buhari 

8. Knowing your success lies on your brain and your dedication

9. Working in your own terms and not pleasing anyone 

10. Spending your money like a boss — the way you want; not the way the society wants it

11. The truth hurts and that's why my speeches always hurt and everyone barks.

Finally, I'll end this article with something my boss, Joe Clef, said, "Frustration is not an achievement, depression is."


Extra Info:

Here is the thread the main request happened: https://www.nairaland.com/6351922/won-man-thanks-nairalander-closed

And here is a second thread the person showered praises to those who helped. https://www.nairaland.com/6355441/good-men-good-heart-still

Séun doesn't get this kind of praise for creating Nairaland.

iLégend doesn't get this kind of praise for all the free money making tips he shared.

In summary: with money or weed, you can buy praise and worship from Nigerians.

iLegendd:
I didn't attack you. I was pissed at how Nigerians and mostly Nairalanders have turned begging to an association and if you don't do it as they want, you're wicked.

Scammers looked into it and came up with different formats. I'm angry scammers have hijacked the association.

Also, Nigerians will worship you when you are giving and abuse you the week you refused.

It's like we all are entitled to other people's money. This is how kidnapping started.

Also, all men should learn and master 3 crucial things in life, else suffer and they are

1. How to handle women
2. How to make money
3. How to manage money

Nigerian men lack number 1 and 3. We are so focused on number 2 and we don't care if it's legit or not.

This is why I reacted.

Anyway, there is no cause for alarm. If we all start exposing the people we have helped in private, it won't make sense.

Let God reward all the silent helpers abundantly and also reward those who are seeking progress in life.

Amen.

This is the part people hate me the most for. When they come close, I run. Why? I love being alone. I'm good at it and I don't want to change.

Most calls that come to my phone, I don't even pick. Not because I'm proud, it's because it's not my thing.

Most time of the day, my phone, with my main line, is turned off.

I even decline people who are willing to pay. See, I have been awake for 5 years just to put my life in order and this is why I just want nothing but peace of mind. This is why I love to turn off my phone, sleep a lot, kill goat, eat, and replenish.

So, I'll decline. I don't like getting too close to men I meet on this forum. If it ain't strictly business, I run.

When I get compliments from this forum, I always know it's a trap against my time. Lol.

Forgive me for being honest — that's how I work.

Summary of he has been try to explain

Pk01:
All what ill-legend wrote is nothing but trash... seriously he is one of the problem of this country ...you are making money then what,u ain't the first to make millions now ..ur case need prayers man...I thank God for the kind heart God give me...i usually derive pleasure in seeing the smile on the people's faces i render help...I don't have millions but I can give my lascad to the needy...I said it again u re a very stingy man..am not jealous of ur wealth...not to bralw but I see money...this guy get problem (attention seeker)

iLegendd:
You have a nice point. Thanks for your contribution, Sir.

MeekySmudger:
......hello sir ilegend,I make clean cartoon pics,just get me your picture,tell me how you want it,I do it and you will pay me,..delivery before payment....help me out,.am not begging,..I just want to work and earn...thats all sir.

iLegendd:
You have a nice point. Thanks for your contribution, Sir.

justsexloverman:
I just like your vibe Mr. ILegendd.

Stay blessed man.

Pk01:
I thought u will dig my post say ..I once ask for 1k airtime from you?... god God forbid bad thing...

iLegendd:
I no get their time.

The fastest way to dodge things is to agree and move on. #Smile.

justsexloverman:
It's well man.... But did you now agree with me that you didn't offend me at all?

iLegendd:
Yes. I don't have issues with you. I have issues with scammers who use different formats and a 100% convincing story with multiple accounts to scam innocent people who worked hard from their money.

If a scammer scams a Yahoo boy — that one dey.

Humans are emotional creatures and touching stories we can relate with are hypnotic and can make an innocent man/woman part with his money without knowing it's all a lie.

Stories are powerful. They are copywriting on their own. Scammers applying this thing in their game gets me worried.

You've vindicated yourself, so no issues. #OneLove.

Yes, I do.

justsexloverman:
Nice website... I saw it.
It's awesome.

Can we connect then?
I know you won't want to drop your number. Should I drop mine?

Or what do you think Mr. iLegendd?

iLegendd:
I only use Nairaland now to kill time, read news, drop one or two threads to keep my hater fanbase growing, log out, and mind my business.

So, I'm too detached from the world — I love it that way. I hate declining things like this, but experience has made me not to have a choice than to retract like a turtle.

More like damn, he has written a chapter of a future book in few minutes.

iLegendd:
There are probably people better than me, but I guess most of them are introverts and afraid of being outspoken to avoid being abused.

iLegendd:
This is a good offer. Whenever I need one, I'll surely let you know, Sir.
