I have never in my life met a more selfless person than my very very dear friend Taiwo without whom, i can assure the good citizens of blogville, i will not be in the position i am in today, where i can afford to buy a cup of garri every day.
This man gave up so much for me that i am going to be unable to repay him no matter how much money i make in my life time.
There trully are few individuals like him and i would like to say from the bottom of my heart, that i will always be eternally grateful to you. You have no idea how much what you did means to me and i hope that one day, i can return a fraction of that favour. God will continue to bless and see you through.
On the other hand, i have met people who are members of the ever growing self serving "do for me" brigade that give absolutely nothing back but another request for more.
This is one of the problems with our society today, the ever expanding legion of people that want more; the offsprings from the Oliver Twist generation. But in saying that, i insult Master Twist cos he was a kid that was starved. These people are not starved, just greedy, constantly asking for more on a daily basis.
My friend Taiwo has never asked for anything in return for what he did for me and he has even forgotten the huge sacrifice he made for me.
To the "Give me your blood" brigade, i simply ask, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR ME LATELY?

why don't you just tell the person to their face instead causing yourself heartache, the so called brigade probably don't have a clue about their actions, wont it be better to just let them know as it might change their attitudes.
Bad idea, Anonymous! - Hope u don't mind ma barging in without formal intros?
There's a reason y God created man & gave him 2 eyes but 1 mouth!
On d other hand, it's unhealthy to hold such 'implosion-prone' tingy inside. Catch 22?
I guess, therefore, that telling the person to his/her face will depend on the relationship. A lot of us can't handle the truth! So, ask yourself: Does this person trust me well enough to know that my critics - no matter how seemingly harsh or hurtful - are well-intentioned?
If u ask me, there's no point in preaching (audiologically, that is) to a deaf person, irrespective of whether their actions were conscious or otherwise.
