I was hanging out with a newly married friend yesterday when he kept stepping away to answer phone calls. Before long, his ex-girlfriend showed up and joined us. I almost told her to be wise and move on, but I decided to mind my own business.
Are you cursed? I just don’t understand how a man can date you for three years, choose not to marry you, and then get married to someone else, yet you’re still willing to play those kinds of games with him.
I remember last week, our h@ters trended Congratulations Arsenal just to mock us but today, its has become our reality💃
Congratulations EPL Champions Arsenal
@wahalaMann Honestly, no human being deserves to be treated this way. Haba! No matter what she did, this is just too much. We should always treat people with dignity and humanity. And she’s his daughter for that matter. This is really sad
Your wife steps out to the market and leaves the baby with you. The baby poops, you’re fully aware, but you leave the child in a dirty diaper for four hours till she returns because you believe it’s a woman’s job.
Una Dey Marry o!!
The first time I realised phone companies really play with our minds was when my BlackBerry Bold 5 developed a fault, so I took it to a repair shop. While I was there, a wealthy man also came in with a BlackBerry Porsche that cost about 600k at the time. The technician had never even seen the Porsche before, but he quickly accepted the job so he wouldn’t miss the money.
When they opened it up, we were all surprised. The motherboard inside the BlackBerry Porsche was basically the same as the one in my Bold 5. From that moment, I stopped being eager to chase the latest phones. Now I only change mine when the one I’m using starts misbehaving.
@wahalaMann Looks and money can attract attention, but personality, confidence, emotional intelligence, and how he makes women feel are what actually create attraction. If those are missing, the other things won’t matter much.
A few years ago, I lost my job. Life became very hard. Bills were everywhere, my savings finished, and I was applying for jobs every day. I was ready to do any legal work just to survive and eat.
Then my best friend, the one I have known for over 15 years, told me there was an opening in his office. The salary was double what I used to earn before. He encouraged me to apply and gave me plenty of help. He told me what to study, the questions they would ask in the interview, and even practised with me for two weeks. Thanks to him, I went for the interview and I got the job. I was very happy and grateful.
But after that, he gave me one condition:
“I helped you get this job. You must give me half of your salary for two full years. Without me, you would still be unemployed.”
I thought he was joking at first. He was not joking. I was desperate, so I agreed.
For 14 months, I sent him half of my salary every month without any complaint. Then the economy became very bad. Food prices went up, rent increased, and the money left for me was no longer enough to live on.
One day after work, I took him out and spoke to him like a man. I said:
“Bro, I have been paying you for over one year. I am grateful for your help, but I cannot continue anymore. Things are too difficult for me now.”
He became very angry. He called me ungrateful and said I was biting the hand that fed me. He reminded me how he risked his reputation to help me. Then he left. That same night, he sent me a message:
“If I don’t see my money by the end of this month, whatever happens next, you will take it. Don’t say I did not warn you.”
Now I am sitting here confused and wondering if I am the bad person.
On one side: He really helped me change my life. Without him, I would still be suffering. A deal is a deal, right? Some people pay big money to agents for connections.
On the other side: This is my best friend. Half of my salary for two whole years? That is not just a thank you, that is like slavery between friends. Does gratitude mean I have to keep suffering and paying forever?
So my people, tell me:
Was the original agreement fair, or did he take advantage of my desperation?
Once I started paying, am I locked in no matter what?
Does “gratitude” mean I must keep paying even if I am suffering?
And the biggest question, when your best friend starts threatening you over money, is the friendship already dead?
What would you do if you were in my shoes?
@wahalaMann That doesn’t sound like real friendship. Helping a friend should come from the heart, not a business deal. Asking for half someone’s salary for two years is taking advantage. Paying for 14 months already shows gratitude
