I have know this guy wayback in 2013. We live in this compound. I could this was the period bet was popular so I normally use to win bet. Each time I have game I give them and we all we win. I could when I won 250k in 2014 and my friends including this guy that is rich now escorted me to collect the winning. I dash them money and bought drink ... Late 2016 we lost and I went back back to my state because things were hard for me. 2022 I heard that this guy has blow. He now has a company. Last month he bought a house and car in leakki. I sent him chat on FB and he doesn't reply me. I didn't ask him for money. I just asked him to give me one or two business idea and this guy read my messages. Never reply me. The same thing happened too with these three Guys back in school that I use to help during exam . These three guys have built houses, married and have cars. I am still here struggling. I swear and I have vowed that this earth will favor me and this money all of us make it. . . I repeat I swear and I have vowed that this earth will favor me and this money all of us make it. . .

Bro your vow means nothing, sit down and take stock of what you have to provide to the world and they will give you money for value and start doing it with the aim of being the best in the world, then money will come to you naturally... My boss currently use to be my boy that looks up to me, but life has made this so today and I had to accept that fully and absolutely, to now be able to grow , there is nothing like you, it's the ego that makes you feel you are lacking behind... Money is good, it will help you enjoy life more but it should be a slave and not a master, you don't know how those your friends happened to be rich, so you don't need to bother about them because comparison is the thief of joy. Be grateful you are even alive. Follow God in SPIRIT and in TRUTH, and watch how wonders happen in your life ... But most importantly, seek God in spirit and in truth... If you are ing your decisions through your understanding of God , then life becomes perfect

I don't know if it's because I'm an introvert, but if I know you and you are rich, I will avoid you as if we never met, unless you talk to me first and I will never let anything that concern money to come between us. I'm good the way I am. 201 Likes 23 Shares |

Sirchiboy:I really don't blame your friends if they aviod you,if I am in such role I will also aviod you,they don't see any potential value your friendship can add to their life but may carry the risk associated with jealousy and envy,restrategize your Life and add value to it,they may still believe you are still a gamblers and that is a big turn off to self made men,take heart such is Life 43 Likes 3 Shares |

Bro don't blame them. You see, when you start having money or being successful, you will start meeting lots of people which all of them want to claim same status Those that you have known in the past but are not yet instrumental in your success might be regarded later while those who are currently on board would be taken care of first This one need this, this one need that, abeg how many people can you help? Na how much you yourself get? Have you satisfied your own desires before the consideration of others? A rich man who wants to do a project worth N100m but having only N40m, the person is as broke as someone looking for money to pay rent. The feelings are mutual The matter no be one way 91 Likes 13 Shares |

Sirchiboy: because you will be problematic to them going forward, anything they say would offend you, by believing they are showing pride and ego. You can also cause problems for them, because rivals might buy your conscience and send you to harm or poison them. Since they can't be sending you errands, they would rather cut you off. If you are really educated and know what you are doing, I will indulge you to go to palm wine t or one local beer parlour to relate with them, compare the way you reasoning with the way they reasoning and talking........that's exactly how rich and poor are 43 Likes 5 Shares |

Sirchiboy: There’s a thin line between a cheerful giver and a reckless spender. When you have money, it’s not the time to invite everyone to feast. Think of how to spend the money wisely and for every cent, not doing daddy giveaway 59 Likes 12 Shares |

Most times,it's not deliberately planned, activities changed , business partners changes too, work, environment and many more changes also,not that we deliberately move on , but this people gets occupied with mostly what has taken them to that position and still aim higher, you don't expect someone to leave a business messages and meetings that will fetch more money and be replying to" hello bash" or what's good brother? Everyone can't be available for us all the time. Last last God go bless us all Peace ✌️ ☮️ 🕊 🏳️ 60 Likes 7 Shares |

Vows without actions na nothing. Make money touch your hand first, na you go vex cut poor men off yourself. Rich men tend to make friends with people doing better, they don't mingle with broke men. Wetin broke men get to offer if not billing up and down. Guy go make money so you can ball and roll with the rich. 50 Likes 5 Shares |

The moment a friend start having money, I am the one who always discharge my self first. Firstly, they will stop listening to your advice even though it might have helped their status Secondly, your complains are mostly seen like jealousy, envy, threats 3rdly, hahaha, people that before your message arrives, they have replied, the moment they start having money, that's when they will be forming busy. Forming busy to who? If they need you, let them you that's only if you are valuable to them. A friend being rich is a relief to me as their unending tasking will stop.

A Friend is a friend either rich or poor, unless you’re the one doing “attaché”. You don’t call every talking mate friend

A man was looking for his missing diamond and they suspected one from a group of rats had swallowed it. His friend told him he'd find out who. And sure he did. The culprit rat was all by himself by the corner. When the man asked his friend how he knew, he said it was easy. Assholes isolate themselves from the group when they make money.

The thing is you can't talk and reason like they do. There is a mindset behind wealth and it comes with it's vocabulary. That different way of thinking, talking, investing time and resources is what differentiates the wealthy from the have nots. Anyways, let me clear your impression. Non of your friends are wealthy. If they stop working today can they maintain their lifestyle beyond a month or two? They are just day to day hustlers with a thing or two to show. Nothing stops you from hustling as well. 30 Likes 3 Shares |

Cos they cannot match up again. Reasonings, responsibility and drives have changed. Imagine growing out of the hood and living that life, and only to be lucky and be successful, you wouldn’t want to go back or mingle with that life again. Your communications will never have a meeting point. While you thinking about family, stock matket, precious metal prices and economic statistics, they would be dumb and trying to relive memories or probably billing you. It’s natural! 29 Likes 5 Shares |

@op, maybe it's because people make friends mainly on the basis of shared interests and activities. Poor friends cannot keep up with the new lifestyle of their rich friend, so they gets some new friends who can. And what I have come to understand is that life hasn't test you, so you hardly see from the POV of others. The same thing happens when politicians are campaigning to be elected. Once they get there, @ my first point comes to play. It's the Human nature. The few who do not forget you aren't many. Work hard, believe in yourself, and someday you'd look back on this your topic and smile.

@op I feel your pain, and it’s understandable to feel hurt and frustrated when people you helped in the past seem unresponsive or ungrateful now that they’ve achieved success. Life can sometimes feel unfair, but I want to remind you of a few things: 1. Your Heart and Efforts Matter You’ve been a good person—helping others win bets, sharing your winnings, and ing friends during school. Those actions speak to your kind and giving heart. Even if people don’t reciprocate, your generosity was never wasted. What you sow in life often comes back, even if it’s not through those same people. 2. People Change Sometimes success changes people, or they may have their own insecurities or reasons for not reaching out. It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re against you or don’t value what you did—it could just be their own way of dealing with life now. 3. Your Time is Coming That vow you made? Hold onto it as a declaration of faith, not bitterness. Keep working, learning, and putting yourself out there. Surround yourself with people who will uplift and encourage you. Your breakthrough may be closer than you think. 4. Stay Focused on Growth Instead of waiting for those who ignored you, look for opportunities around you. Network, learn new skills, and remain open to ideas from unexpected sources. Sometimes blessings come from strangers, not the people we expect. 5. Let Go of Resentment Bitterness can hold you back. Release any anger or disappointment you feel toward these people. Your success will be sweeter if it’s fueled by hope and determination, not vengeance or pain. You have the fire and determination to succeed. Keep pushing and believing. Your story isn’t over yet; it’s just building up to a powerful chapter. 18 Likes 5 Shares |

Sirchiboy: The answer is very simple. The world has no time for a man who has no value to offer. Cruel but simple truth. Even your family will ignore you in family matters talk less friends. Thank God you are a man and not a woman because as a man, the world lets you know in no uncertain when you have no value but the world flatters (deceives) a woman with little or no value, such that by the time she realizes the world has deceived her, it is too late for her to correct course. Be grateful you are a man and that the world does not deceive or flatter men. However the world treats a man is a reflection of his value. So take it as a positive, don’t take it personal and get your act together. 25 Likes 3 Shares |
