“My friend sent me “congrats bro” but sent a big man 250k to celebrate his baby.” – Nigerian Journalist complains.

Media personality identified as Iruefi as shared the story of how his friend proved the theory that people only helped those they can benefit from.

According to Iruefi, he introduced his friend to a big client to help with his business and the friend tried to form a solid relationship with the client by giving him a 250k gift for the birth of his child whilst he just got a congratulatory message from the friend.

In his words ;

“I introduced an old friend to a certain ‘big man’, about 2 weeks later, this my ‘big man’ friend and his wife got delivered of a baby, my old friend sent him 250k for ‘pampers and baby milk’. I and my wife got delivered of a baby just a week prior, I got ‘congratulations bro’.

Now this my ‘big man’ friend was an estate developer and my old friend was a cement and building materials dealer, I purposefully linked them with the intention that they’d do business sometime and I was happy when he told me that my old friend gifted his new baby some cash.

My only question was why tho? He’s only known this guy for just about 2 weeks, and I’ve known him for over 20 years, even though we weren’t all that chitty chatty, I considered him a friend. Now I don’t feel entitled, I wasn’t even expecting anything, I was just surprised.This is the new trend. People now only help, celebrate or regard those who they can benefit from, it’s quite sad.”
