yemmit90: Lolz, look at the way you twisted the answer.
Since the rich should not be associate with the poor according to your analogy, why should the rich be associate with you even though you are not after their finance?
And according to your write up, rich and poor people has nothing in common, and the later is mostly fill with envy and jealousy, so what value are you saying you will exchange with rich people as a poor man? Everybody go dey alr lass lass. |

diamond68: I personally believe if you are rich and you have a poor friend you hang out with ? You are a very wicked person. How can you be hanging out with your friend and you know he is poor ? Is that not wickedness ? Listen there are two options, you either pull them up to your level so you can hang out in equity or you should cut them off. Why would you be hanging out with a poor friend ? That's a dangerous situation. You are putting your life at risk. Pull him up to your level or cut him off. Pulling just about anyone comes at a cost and this is the same as building wealth in itself. They may have the stomach for it and they may not. I don give friend 400K to start a bizzness 2020 years after he told me "Ehnn make i no lie you, i no fit do that kain business." Still at square one today. |

Bakrabas: Remember @op if your car fell inside the drainage, it's not your Rich fellow that'll gather to help you. These same poor can die for you if you have a menial tasks to carry out.
You didn't become a Rich man because you're smart or because your business is triumph, remember there are others in the same line of business that are still struggling.
You don't know tomorrow If the so called ''poor people'' help me, i would dip my hands into my pocket and try to pay them something fair. There is a difference between that and telling them thank you before you zoom off. One is freeloading, one is offering value. |

The best bet for you is to become rich in isolation and start looking for rich people to associate with. At least i am not trying to gum body with perceived rich people just to latch on their finances as a bambiala. I would rather offer value in exchange. |

haybhi1: Lol... these things are not exactly like this o. Only really poor people (people with less than 1.5M worth) reason like this.
If you see AZ, the person who invited me to cbex, you will laugh and assume he could never have 1M in his account. In fact, he started with 50 at the time. Today man worths >15M. My own financial life has improved. Our friend, who doubles as first person I invited, bought car from this thing. Someone from NL who messaged me late last month, this guy is astronomically richer than I am, like US to Nigeria, he'd never seen me, yet my guide gave him 8M on Monday. Countless other cases like that.
Now the point is all of this started from only one person, AZ, who the OP would have assumed poor and ignored. Lol, make una no dey reason like chicken na.
You'd be surprised how some rich, wealthy people today started out together. Baba mi at least your friends are not leaches or freeloaders even if they bill you, they could still be of help for work et al... This one's im dealing with in real life have the mentality that you must be pressing them money for just existing and value they offer 0. Why i no go protest! |

lafuria1: You are right, poor friend will borrow and never pay back And also steal from you because they feel you have enough And so you will understand. I gave money to a friend this Christmas cos i know he will bill me even though things are rough for him so as to stay afloat, not 50k ooo. He came to my house few days aback and fed him, he still expected me to press money for transport to go home after walking him to the bustop. These are the issues. |

Fryx: I escaped poverty by providing value to people who have money, not freeloading off others.
In fact, I don’t have 0 reason to give any one a dime. My pride didn’t allow me beg, I worked hard instead.
I did odd jobs, slave off as a cleaner/house help etc till i can save enough to get what I need to learn a skill.
After learning a skill, I look for job, manage my money and utilize the little I have till it becomes big.
You see, I owe no one.
Towards the end of last year, I did some calculations, realized I am being too much of Father Christmas, and made that decision to cut off freeloaders.

The money u think u have is a chicken change to some people and such people will also definitely avoid you. He who is poor today might be rich tommorow. No condition is permanent.
Can any friend here pls assist me with 5k? There are so many needs to be met.

immortalcrown: Did you become rich by staying away from yourself when you were poor? If not, you are not being factual here at all.
You can spend your whole life in the midst of rich people without becoming rich. You can mingle with the rich and become rich. You can mingle with the poor and never get rich. You can grow up, build your career and become rich in the midst of poor people. It all depends on you.
The poor people around you are never the reason you are poor. The fact is that when some people like you make money, they look for an excuse to maltreat and oppress the poor people around them. You need the poor to accommodate you when you can't sit with the rich. You consider the poor useless when you afford to sit with the rich. Inconsiderate and selfish humans.
You people operate with a very stupid ideology with which you see an innocent friend of a thief as a thief but see a poor friend of the rich as the poor he is.
Dangote didn't migrate to a richer or the richest country before becoming the richest black man. Many claim that Lagos is where music talent pays. But many guys started in the East and became international stars while many in Lagos are still struggling to perform in their streets. The poor people around you are never the reason you are poorI never insinuated any of the claim above, i am simple easy going person who try my possible best to touch people's lives the best way i can but my stance remains that ''Helping just about everyone" comes at a cost which i am not willing to shoulder going forward. |

Many years aback, my mother use to make a statement, "Move away from poor people, and mingle more with your level'', i use to find that statement to be rather classist, but i can tell you that she was right. Yes inequality and poverty is rife in our society, but there is a limit to what you can do to help people's situation.
The year 2024 has been a blessed one for me business wise, as i got to invest more of what i earned in my business but the call for help, please help me send, can you lend me request can be overwhelming.
As a hyper independent person it is sad to say that i haven't even gotten a gift from people i have helped touched their life in one way other. Even people who borrowed with the promise to pay back haven't fulfilled their commitment.
I am blessed to have a bit of financial success which i hope to last long and outlive my generation, i can't inconvineince myself to beck on everybody's call. At every point i must look at how i put myself first. So this 2025 i plead with all netizens to put themself first and discard any freeloader that may be a threat to your finances.

Romance › Boys Talk Say Dem No Do Relationship Again, As Dem Dey Order OSROCH by zanshi(op): 8:00pm On Dec 14, 2024 |
I have been saying it for a while that Nigeria is suffering from a social crisis as young people are not dating enough. To be single is now the new cool and a relationship with the significant other is now seen as a financial burden and a form of stress. What started as a isolated event in South Korea and much of Europe were young people were not pair bond for the sake of family formation and to replace the aging population may soon be our reality, Nigeria since the 60s has enjoyed years of population boom but a bad economy, a literate population and social acceptance of contraceptives is making young people to critically think.
. The dating culture here is opportunistic from a guys perspective, your sincerity, being chivalrous ,niceness can be a net negative if you plan to be serially committed to your significant other as the bad boys are winning and the lover boys are literally on their own. From Wizrab, Agba John Doe, YomYom on the X platform, Influencers are literally giving an expose to young men to critically vet before you commit. Lots of guys have been literally take to the cleaners both in relationships and in marriage and it has led to men on strike.
The popular Benin pop artist "Shallipoppi" sang OSCROH which literally means OS; a sexual consenting female who wants to gets paid for the exchange of money for sex has caught the attention of netizens who literally feel that renting the services of an OS every now and then is more financially sane than keeping up with a relationship with a girlfriend. A lot of netizens on X even listed the pros saying: ''OS won't bother you for money". "OS will not emotionally drain you''. The OS trend seems to have generated a lot of buzz as more and more single young men to who ought to be sexually locked with their significant other would prefer to seek the services of an Oscroh. Men's attention into seeking a committed relationship is about to get ''expensive'' as the women who offer these services. Until we have a very frank conversation to change our archaic dating culture of as a man you must be always performative with your finances whilst getting almost nothing in return, the men have every right to get their emotional and sexual needs met elsewhere even if it means paying for it. |
