Damnnn niggar
Yeah

Don't bring anybody too close

jaxxy:
Yes u have to have a level awareness of people u work or interact too closely with. U may not know bt some are studying and reading u for information or weakness.

They studied ur house and know u live alone and other information they shouldn't ideally know. Next is to exploit it.

why should u bring a bike man or dispatch rider into ur house when he should stop at the gate?

Acting too nice to the wrong people only makes u a soft target.

Standard

Most Nigerians repay generosity with ungratefulness or worse, evil. Once you're generous most people see you as a stupid person; if you're courteous you're perceived as weak or of a lower cadre to them.

people need to start moving like me

1-get spiritual protection . this is spiritual warfare
2- appear poorer than you are. present yourself as STRUGGLING to the world
3-never accept help from anyone poorer than you
4-trust no man. keep everybody at arms length
5-always avoid eye contact . they read your spirit through eye contact
6-do everything yourself if you are not crippled
7-if you have 1 million naira, hypothetically speaking, and the rent is between a 3 bedroom in ebute metta or a studio flat in ikoyi, always choose ikoyi. its about the location not the size of your house, always aspire to be around rich people . those places are heavily protected

I learnt a great lesson that day about human psychology. Since that day, I see through everything, It won't matter if you use religion or blackmail to pyscho-babble your way. I will do what I intend to do strategically at all times with self preservation in mind. It pays to have a minimum amount of selfishness, especially if you haven't stood well and are considering rendering help.

Caseless:
you borrowed someone money for a useless thing like burial and not investment and you expect him to pay back?

VeeVeeMyLuv:
ExAngel007 always keep a low profile, infact ehn don't go about boasting, or telling folks you are making money.

Please I beg you with God hide your secret.

If you have earned more to some comfortable level please pack out to a new location that befits your new status before close folks like your bike man devour you.

These are very brutal times in Nigeria. The new president has even reinforced the brutality 77x7 times.

Beware. Watch and pray.


These are one of the commemts that makes me glued to nairaland all 247

I had already learnt this lesson while in Nursery school. It amazes me how I'm still able to remember virtually everything (even the perfume permeating the air et al) that transpired the day I decided to show a little kindness to a classmate because he said I should give him small. Brethens, I don't know if it was because of the Sunday school lessons of the previous Sunday or if it was the morning devotion that made me decided to test this show of kindness, I kid you not, till this day (in Deontay Wilder's voice), I will never forget the experience.

That was how one became two and I was almost mobbed, they wouldn't even let me eat my break food in peace because I was hungry too. Different guilt tripping emotional tactics to get from me what some turned out to have, some even came multiple times. If you didn't bulge, they go "ok, I won't be your friend again", and that's coming from someone who wasn't even my friend to begin with.

I ended up sharing it to everyone that wanted it, thinking they would be satisfied. I got the shocker of my then short life, lols. They cursed me out saying they didn't even get anything, people that just several seconds ago were just nibbling out my lunch like piranhas in an eating frenzy.

Of course I cried that not only did I get not to eat my lunch while hungry my self, but that even after helping they didn't acknowledge that I help them and cursed me out for it.

I was now hungry, traumatized (effing brutal something for a <4 year old, the things that were said? Hmm), got mobbed (they even mobbed off my flask and water bottle from my possession, lols) but also gained more enemies than friends (shit seemed to get worse the more I tried to explain and ask them didn't they remember when I cut for them just now?)

I learnt a great lesson that day about human psychology. Since that day, I see through everything, It won't matter if you use religion or blackmail to pyscho-babble your way. I will do what I intend to do strategically at all times with self preservation in mind. It pays to have a minimum amount of selfishness, especially if you haven't stood well and are considering rendering help.

It's quite unfortunate that in 2023 Nigerians still reason this way

One supplying me woods has made me her personal ATM, because I always give her foodstuffs,it even got to the extent of them knocking on my door,and telling me nothing dey house o,the kids became irritants,and pesty.

Like my home became their succour,they forgot I also have a family hanging and surviving on my neck.

The mum even had the effrontery of wanting to search my kitchen because I told her I don't have foodstuffs to give to her.

Too much kindness n familiarity to some people wallaihi e nor good

flexyrule:
Na normal naija way...

Always taking advantage of people's kindness.

That's how I gave this guy 500k to bury his father...

To pay back now, e be like e want make I go dig the papa commot for inside grave before e go pay me back my money.

yongg:


Yeah, I think about that too. The only disadvantage would be that if one of them decide just randomly on first meet that one is a worthy target your radius of investigative net would be wider.

In the military, they tend to have and orderly or batman/batmen as they were called. That way the search net is smaller, even if the the culprit decided to outsource the deed out, one perceptive enough could reasonably link 1 and 2 together and form a reasonable haunch (I'm not talking about just blindly accusing anyone, although there are ways the military police can get it out of them, lols)

Herbiodun09:
I always say leave poor people to their predicaments. Help the littlest ways you can.

You extending too much to them could harm you.

Na from experience we dey talk o.


Hope you got back on your feet tho?
