Give yourself some respect. Kelechi or no kelechi, believe in yourself and forget this. This is wrong and will make you look stupid.

This is the same problem I have with Nigerians. If kelechi was still hustling in Nigeria, I don't think this guy would even want to associate with him. Kelechi owes you nothing, go and hustle so that you can be better than kelechi.

Kai. How many people Kelechi wan remember? See this guy trying to guilt trip a young man. How many childhood friends should he reach out to. You just want to dump your responsibilities on a chap. When he traveled to England, new environment, new faces, frostbitten and making all the sacrifices that made him attain his celebrity status today, where were you? What were you doing?

The young man has paid his due, he has had to sacrifice so many things - including being away from his family temporarily. Abeg let him drink water and drop cup in peace. Face your own life and be happy for your own self, stop looking for pity party. This negative energy sefffff.

MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND HAS ROSE TO STARDOM AND HAS FORGOTTEN THAT I EXIST.

Kelechi Iheanacho was my childhood friend, we grew up together in the same neighborhood Nekede Old Road Owerri IMO state. We played the street balls together under the rain and scorching sun. We attended the same primary school; Unique Nursery and primary school Umualum Nekede No 4 b/stop as at then but has relocated to a new site now. We did almost everything together but today grace has found you and you've rose and clapped your way into the corridors of fame and stardom, you're now a celebrity not just in Nigeria but all over the world.

I remember how we conquered the environments of Ama - ato. Azuatalam, Chigozirim known as Podosky and you and I. If we are not there the games won't be fun but you've forgotten so fast and now mingles with those that you met after being famous.

We played an academy club "Danish" together for years before you moved to Taye academy how can you just forget those days so fast?

I remember how happy i was when i watched you play for Nigeria under 17 in UAE 2013.. I was not surprised when you conquered the world in that stage because i knew how good you were prior to then. Your senior brother Uchenna couldn't give me your contact because we are no more on the same pedestrian, you've moved higher.

Hear this,

I'm writing this not because hunger has finished my life but because a picture with you now will serve as a story i will tell to my children. Don't forget that the bodyguards and security personnel guarding you from people coming close to you, were not there when we use to go to the bush in Uzo ubi those days in search of riped fruits. It pains my heart that you've forgotten most of us who suffered with you and grew up together with you in the hood.

It's hard for me to get reach to you again as i've followed you in all social media platforms, Instagram, twitter, e.t.c. But it's easy if you want to get to me, if really you want to.

Please whoever that can reach out to Kelechi Iheanacho should help me and show him this letter and tell him it was written by Bala as i was nicknamed those days.

Rising to stardom doesn't mean you should forget those who grew up with you. I still remember paying for some matches we watched together at the viewing centres even game centres for PS2 (PlayStation). The things we did together are so enormous that i can't put all in writing.

Friends, i know Kelechi Iheanacho may not see this but you that is reading it now, don't forget the people with you now when luck shines on you.

Don't call them lazy, poor or feel irritated when you see them coming to you. We all started from somewhere and grace found you.

But because he is rich now,you feel he should still be in your life because una two play ball together..lol.

Re: Godswill Uche 'Bala': Kelechi Iheanacho, My Childhood Friend Who Forgot Me by pansophist(m): 10:09am On May 25, 2020
When you are young, your friends are usually friends by circumstance, that is, people you didn't deliberately pick to cultivate friendship with. They could be from your neighborhood, church, schools, and friend of a friend. At such an impressionable young age, you haven't know yourself much, still in personal discovery and development, and everyone that comes your way can easily penetrate into your social circles especially when there are common interests such as sports, the same school, etc.

As you begin to navigate the world as an adult, your sense of self, identity, and personality takes shapes and forms, and people can not easily penetrate into your social circle anymore. You may have been disappointed a lot, and become distrusting, while losing all those impressionable qualities you uphold as a child. It is at this moment many people drop their childhood friends, or cultivate the ones that match their present reality. You should accept this. I imagine how young you are, but it is normal that people you used to talk to every day will suddenly become mere contact lists and even enemies. With jealousy cooking underneath, especially when one is better than the other. This is the life of an adult.

He may choose not to contact you because of different life goals and perspectives, growth, and more. It is narrow-minded to assume that he did not keep in touch with you because of your social status, it can be, but it also may not be the reason. Most importantly, every healthy friendship as a rule, must make it a standard for the participants to easily divorce from it, with no hard feelings. Friendship is not ''for better for worse'', it should be easy to enter, just as it is easy to go out. Know this. Also, there is something called dignity, and no one can take it from you. Even if he is richer than Bill Gates, his money can never buy your dignity. Respect yourself, and do not feel wronged because choose not to keep in touch, instead, keep on your lane and be the best you can be, base on your abilities.

The truth about this story is that, the OP wasn't that close to Kelechi those days. He was just one in very many. Growing up, I played football a lot. I made a lot of friends, some dead now, some went to school, some got mad, few made it. But, amongst all these, it was like 3 or 4 that where really my close friends who we visited each other and we never lost communication till date. Non of my very close friends made it to Stardom. The people that made it weren't close friends. We never exchanged numbers sef. We didn't even take pictures together, except occasionally during or before matches. I can't be calling Solomon out now because he is in Dublin, we were never really close. I believe Kelechi didn't forget his really close pals. Nobody can take everybody along. If OP IS DOUBTING ME, HE SHOULD SHOW ME SEVERAL PICTURES OF HIMSELF AND KELECHI TOGETHER ALONE. I had so many friends that we ate mangoes together in the bush, played soccer together, went to same primary and secondary school, we aren't in talking terms again. It's normal. I cannot now say they forgot me if they blow all of a sudden. na me first forget them

My points of view from OP post.

•That the OP shared part of Kelechi memories or success story doesn't necessitate direct obligation or self expectations and entitlement.

However, have you reached out to him point-black in which he obviously snubbed you? Has he done that several times? That his guards prevented you doesn't mean he feels the same. It's just that new level of life, environment, commitments, association demand modified way of reasoning and handling of things. (association specifically). So stop living in assumption and do another follow ups as he can't remember everything!

Also, he's got many childhood friends like you, same way you have your own colleagues....

In another paradigm shift, grin

Nobody owes nobody anything in this life

Yes, it is overwhelming. I can relate because I also live abroad.

The poster only knew the link between him and Kelechi, but not the unlimited link between kelechi and every other people he used to know. Every time I visit Nigeria, I got this feeling that people are pissed off at me for not acknowledging their existence. surprisingly, these are people that at best, can be categorized as ''someone you used to know'', people that I had no rapport with before I left, just only greetings and saying ''Hi'' to each other. I didn't have many friends before I left since I left immediately after high school for university.

meanwhile to me, I am dealing with multitudes of this kind of people that wants me as a vehicle to their unreasonable request, and I have actually outgrown that mindset. I stopped being religious and pissed off church members, stop being a gamer, and pissed off all the friends that the only connection we had was playing games, and so on. When they see you keeping in touch with a selected few, it is seen as arrogance, when it is clearly a misalignment of life goals. Greetings and cordiality are not enough, it is expected that one resume to how he was decades ago. When one grows through life, it is normal for them to redefine their friendship, and many of these folks do not think in that way. Friendship is do or die, and that is not healthy.
