A neighbor of mine called me on Saturday and was complaining bitterly about his Bossom friend.

He told me his friend travelled to the US in 2008 and after a few calls they lost contacts. Last week his friend messaged him and said he's aware of the hardship in naija and asked him to send his account details. My neighbor did and after a while he received an alert of 20k. I said wow!.. that's a miracle. but he hushed me and said I should let him finish.


He said immediately he did the conversion it came to 12.8 dollars. He now said after 16 years it 12 Dollar the friend could send to him that that's an insult.
I tried to make him understand the friend may not be doing well over there but he said the guy is doing well that he's weighing the naira value of the money and feels 20k is big money. He said he feels insulted. Me I just carry my two long legs Waka leave my ungrateful neighbor.

Is my neighbor right and did his friend do wrong by sending that kind of amount? 12 Dollars...

To me the friend did not do any wrong but my neighbor feels he could do better.that 12 Dollar is like 1,200 hundred naira to them over there.

Guys what will you do if you were my neighbor?

He does not owe you sh*t.
He has others to give

Can you imagine…

judatech:

Only Texas is bigger than Nigeria, even Chad is 5 times bigger than Nigeria by land mass.

dont ask money from them, but you wont listen

Let's learn to appreciated. Some are not doing well over there but feel ashamed to come home. If some comes home they may not be able to go back.

12 dollars that is not even up to one hour wage for the least worker in the US. Its more like biscuit money. Abeg e no try.

Entitlement mentality coming from a person who has probably never worked a day in his life. It's the same mentality they have with widows and their husbands' wealth. Feeling entitled is one hell of a drug. He can return the money.

Timoleon:
Lol...this is worse than insult. It's better to not send anything than ring someone up after 16 years in the abroad just to send 12$.

Some people will say it's 'entitlement mentality'. But if I see you for road, you dey mind your business I come hala say I know say life hard, take 50 naira go find biscuit chop, before you die for our neck. You go reason better blow for mouth. After all, you no beg me for food or for money. Despite the fact that I just gave you my 'hard earned' money, you'd know in your heart of hearts that I just undermined you.

For 16years, bro has been managing to survive, How would you message him out of the blues to send him 12$. One carton of indomie.

Gratitude is the key.

You are not entitled to anybody's money unless they are your parents.

It's free money, if 50 naira is too small for you, you can dash someone else.

What is wrong with people?

Stop speaking very bad English!

What do you mean by "in the abroad" ?

Jewessgratitud3:


Dey calm down your blood too dey hot.

Ask the ungrateful neighbour of yours how much she/he has sent to her/his childhood friends in the village since she/he relocated to Lagos

The friend shoukd go and work .. why not send money to the poor Americana friend overther

Someone dashed you 20k and you are calculating his money for him.

The entitlement in Nigeria is massive.

Reading…

Sey ur friend na Tinubu wey devalue the naira?

Make im manage am like that.

madridguy:
Entitlement mentality will kill some people.

A slowpoke and more.
There’s such thing as disrespect. Sometimes e better make you no give than to disrespect someone.
Everything no be entitlement mentality

Mentcee:

Stop speaking very bad English!

What do you mean by *in abroad* ?

bad English kill your mama there. Did I tell you I was aiming at 'speaking' good English?

He’s not ungrateful. The man should send back the $12. I know the tribe the friend is from. Very stingy people.

Meanwhile, my friends in different countries each want to send me $100. I’m rejecting the offer because I’m bigger than such sum. Though, having the money at the moment would alleviate my situation a little, money finishes. I am not a beggar. I was taught to work for money. I’m happy to have them as friends. Material things are unneeded.

I get friend wey be big boy way back, him don go Yankee now.any time I bill am ,him no dey send pass 20k..buh God bless him...baba no dey disappoint any time I ask..God bless him very simple guy

Take it and thank him.... not much but will sort a bill and since you never begged for it jus use am buy beer and suya....u sef na comrade...


My own cousin in Europe for over 15 years ask me to send aza and he no reply again till today and I dey my own na him say make I send aza oooo...

Entitlement mentality

Not that bad

His expectations was hit below the belt, it is an initial reaction. He will reason it and get over it.

Don’t let anyone count your money from a distance

Yes, your friend is entitled. That guy is not his brother or family relative. An ex neighbour who remembers you... do you know how many people those abroad send 'something ' to every single month? Then he thinks he has any right to complain? He should send it back.

Your comment is the only reasonable comment I've seen so far. You just spoke my mind.

It is better you even send shoes, or other items than send a paltry $12. Is there any reasonable thing u can buy with $12 in the US apart from food and groceries?

I wanted to buy a land over here in Port Harcourt. I had up to 3.5m and I was expecting 2m from my business the following week. I call my brother in USA to help me with N1.5m he refused. So that I can add to the 3.5m to buy the land of NN5m.. Despite that I will pay him back in less than 5days.. he refused. This is blood brother oohh.. a professional nurse that had stayed in US for 25yrs..

Your neighbor would vex if tomorrow he heard rumors that: "I use to feed him back in 2024, would send him $12.8k so he go chop"

At least he has someone who dey sorry for him. Me wey them go leave my message on read...no reply talk less of seeing shishi
