  • If You’re The Broke Friend This One’s For You

    Being a good friend while you’re poor is a lot of work.

    Written By:

    1. You move to a new area and finally make a rich friend

    鈥淗ey man. I鈥檓 new to the area. Is that your Range Rover outside?鈥

    2. Then he invites you to meet his other friends at his expensive house.

    And you鈥檙e wondering why one of them reminds you of Kanayo O. Kanayo.

    3. They finally ask where you live so they can come check on you.

    So you have to make up the craziest lie about how your estate only allows visitors on Monday morning and Saturday midnight.

    4. First night out as guys, and they decide to order at a fancy restaurant

    鈥淐an I have a bottle of water, please? I鈥檓 fasting鈥

    5. When they talk about their vacation trips but you’ve only gone to Ogbomosho

    鈥淕od. Why is my life like this? Who do I have to beg?鈥

    6. Sharing interesting stories about the most trying times in their lives

    But you can鈥檛 say your own because it sounds like something from 鈥淟abe Orun鈥.

    7. Everyone says you’re the most humble of your friends

    Dave Chappell - I'm broke
    But you can鈥檛 afford to be carrying shoulder. You actually can鈥檛 afford anything.

    8. You and your self-esteem

    Because your confidence is tied to your account balance.

    9. One day your rich friend comes to you for an emergency loan.

    *laughs in long-term poverty*

    10. When they eventually start doing things without you

    Alone is my best friend.
    Loneliness is a social construct.

    11. So you decide to hustle your way up.

    鈥淚f we no get money, wetin we gain鈥 鈥 Victor AD. 2018.
