However, I want to address something important. Some people are quick to ask for financial assistance immediately they see you achieve a goal or celebrate a success — without considering how difficult the journey may have been.
For example, someone celebrating a new car does not automatically mean they bought it outright. Some cars are bought on loans or installments, and the person may still be struggling to pay it off. Yet the next thing people do is start asking for money to fund their business or personal needs.
The same thing happens at social functions. When you attend an event and spray money to honor the celebrant or musicians, some people assume you are very wealthy. What they don’t know is that you may have been saving for months just to show up responsibly — especially when you know all eyes will be on you as a public figure.
My point is this: rating someone’s financial status based on visible achievements can be very misleading. Pressuring people to help you financially based on assumptions often leads to resentment when your expectations are not met.
Statements like:
“Sebi o sese ra motor ni?”
“Sebi o sese ko ile ni?”
“Sebi o lowo lowo lo je ko se party?”
“Sebi o sese de lati ilu oyinbo ni?”
These assumptions are unfair.
The person you are looking at may be silently battling financial commitments you know nothing about. They too may be praying for help.
Let’s slow down on this sense of entitlement. If someone helps you, see it as grace — not an obligation. God bless us al
