There are many people that pose as friends but are they really our friends? unfortunately we may not know until we face hard time, that is when we will be able to know who truly love us for who we are and those who are only there for the benefit....
I am one of the lucky ones that got to witness true friendship and up till date, i always remember that act of kindness by that my friend, he was there for me during my tough times and even though i never asked him for help but i needed all the help he rendered because they came at the time i really need it the most, he was an angel sent to help me....
This is a story that happened in the year 2011, this family moved into the house right next to mine and among the children of my neighbor was their second son who we clicked faster than i imagine....
My family is not rich, sometimes we eat good and some other time, it is difficult to get two meal in a day talkless of three and most time i get tired of eating the same food every time, my dad loves garri [ eba in my dialect] but after eating this food for years, i started losing appetite, sometimes i will just take 3 swallow and that is all, i was not eating to satisfy myself but just to survive and have the strength to do my daily task....
My friend's family was not rich either but my friend is a strong lad and he can do those hard job to get daily wages unlike me who was a weakling and can't do any hard labour due to lack of strength, i tried to do it once but my body failed me, my friend saw that i could not do it and he knows i needed help so this is what he did to show me he was a genuine friend...
Every night, after the day's hard work, he always take me to an eatery to eat, he made me to love eating tuwo shinkafa[ a native food in my country] because i never bought it until he took me there and it later became one of the food i love eating... It is rare to see someone that will work hard in the day only to spend part of the money together with you in the night on food...
He did this for several weeks and he never grumbled for one night, infact if he didn't see me, he will look for me so we can go to our favorite eatery to have our plate of tuwo shinkafa...
Thanks to him, i ate good in the night and slept well for weeks! ...
Even though the last time i saw him was 8 years ago, i still have his contact and we have each other on social media and whenever i saw his pictures or status. it always remind me of the good times with him.... He is one of those people that helped me genuinely without expecting anything in return....

It is nice to have a true friend.
Nothing worth more than it. Someone you could call on, fall on and cry on. Those kind of friends are rare.
But having one of them is better than having thousand of fake friends.
I bet you will love to keep that friend around. You shouldn’t break that bond.
Right now, I try to create a good circle of friends around me.
exactly, what is the important of many friends when if you are facing hard times, none of them would help you, 1 trusted and loyal friend is better than 100 that are not true friend....
good decision, the fewer the better
Oh my God. That is emotional I really got a bit emotional while reading. Friends like that are truly hard to come by. God bless him.
amen, thanks and happy sunday
The Tuwo friend. Haha 😆. Still revolving around food. Now i confirm that you like food just like me.
I am also looking for a genuine friend too who wouid be taking me for pizza and icecream. Gone are the days of tuwo and soup 😂 😂.
Genuine Friends are rare. But once we grab one it brings the best feelings
lol the way to a man's heart is food 🤣
there was also one woman who won my heart through food lol, i take her children private lessons but whenever i go there, she used to give me food lol and the thing is it always come during the time i am very hungry😁
😂. I know the feeling. Especially when you want to ask for it and you just see her coming with the tray of food. 😂 😂.
Food is importanter 😂. My friend must like food sha 😂
no o, i don't ask for it and i can't ask for it, i need to be civilized lol but i always pray in my mind that she should bring that tray🤣
man those are good memories, infact they can never fade and i still cherish those people till today, they are one in a million
😂. Man would be a man. Asking must have devalued one’s reputation.
I prayed to come across people like that in my service year but my prayer wasn’t accepted 😂 😂
it all depends on who you relate with, assuming you make friends with girls that cook who you normally visit, you may get lucky lol
Haha. Me and girls are not always on a good terms. I don’t know why. The ones I relate with told me they can’t cook for me only for their boyfriends, husband, family, or if I am sick 😂 😂.
And they didn’t. 😂
Though some others did, but it was too late
It’s rare to see those kind of friend and I will say you are a lucky being to have such a genuine friend.
Hold him tight,they are just few in the world😂😂😂
as in very rare! most friend will hide their food when they see you🤣 but for him to even search for me so we can go and eat together, omo i still respect him till today🎈, my head swell sef that i ask for his aza this morning but didnt tell him why i sent him money lol
Indeed, a friend should be there and willing to sacrifice for his best friend. It's very inspiring
thanks
