Is friendship really dead in Nigeria? That is a question many Nigerians often ponder afeter we go through disappointments and heartbreaks. This takes me back to when we were little kids, mum was our best friend because of our selfish natural need for her delicious breast milk. As we grew older and developed teeth, we found out we could connect with other people based on mutual and also selfish interest.

With the state of the Nigerian economy, having any sorts of friendship is at your own peril. What many of have is mostly ‘Friends with benefits’. I’m guilty of this. Anyone who deserves to be my friend has to bring something to the table apart from useless Kim Kardashian , Telemundo , Nairabet , Relationship problems, Football gist or Tonto Dike gossips

For starters, you must speak very good English, I can never ever introduce anyone who cannot speak very good English to my parents as my friend. Secondly, you must be a graduate of any course. As the Nigerian proverb says, Iron sharpens Iron, as a graduate myself, I can’t call a non graduate my friend unless he is into a thriving business.

These days, parents often warn their kids to mingle with people in a higher economic class so as to have a good chance of getting the good stuffs of life. This is perfectly normal. When I have kids, I will also give them the same lecture.

There are loads of stories going on around us here in Nigeria , for example, a friend stealing a valuable item like a car, a friend who gossips at your back, a friend who wants to steal your job or your girlfriend/boyfriend…yes, all these happens in Nigeria.

I’ll never blame bad friendships on the state of the economy. I will always blame bad friends on the individual, some people are simply programmed to be wicked right from birth.

Beware of the people you let into your close circle of life. They can make or break you.

Before you embark on any friendship quest, start by loving yourself first. In that way, you can listen to your intuition (Innerself) more and avoid futuristic heartbreak and disappointments.

Practice selflove.

Yes o!
Even the friends with benefit know they are for benefits sef.
No time to use body language to explain their role.

lol.....overtime i noticed i have much frnds bkos am nt stingy and i find it real easy to kip them bkos i dont expect everything i do for them to be reciprocal.
bt one thing i know for sure is dat dey will have their price to pay....omo buruku na ni ojo tie

nowadays friendship is all about value...and being useful to your pals.if not we are just acquaintances...
