"Dem no dey help person for UK"
Once upon a time, a former Law School colleague(as he then was), came to my DM to ask me how to process his UK japa stuff as he had been scammed over N5m processing his japa to Canada. We were not close, but we knew each other because he came to my room like thrice to see my roommate. He identified me on X and reached out.
I helped him with everything. We did it together. He decided to come to my city since I was the only one he knew in UK. He got his admission and his visa. I then told him that he could stay with me till he found his feet. I was even in a shared apartment then. That was the beginning of brotherhood. I showed him his campus, helped with clearance, helped him get a job, and settle well. Few weeks after, he said he didn't want to live alone, that we should stay together. I agreed. UK is much better when you have someone to talk to.
We stayed together and even moved to a different apartment - a 2 bedroom flat. We lived together till he got married and relocated to another city. Today, his own family and his wife's family see me as family. We used to visit each other's city often till I decided to move back. He is my brother for life. I fit enter him house go put leg for chair. If you want friends, you must make yourself friendly.
A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
