There are friends and there are friends , so says a school of thought. One can have as many friends as possible but the question is how many are true friends among them. Basically , when you talk of true friends , they are more than ordinary friends that are common like well water. They are not mere friends. They are friends that can be described as extraordinary , special , trustworthy , in terms of their worthiness to you.

As a matter of fact , there is no denying the fact that one needs a true friends for one desire to come to fruition. That reminds me of a situation that occurred while in the university. There was a lecturer in our department in those days who was tough as a steel. He gave us an assignment a week to vacation and mandated us to submit before embarking on the vacation. Before that time , I was not having a dine with me and I was contemplating on how the assignment was to be submitted. I approached close to four of our friends to submit for me , they declined. Upon my approach of the 5th friend , he agreed to it. That he would help me to submit. Subsequently , I left the school for my home town. When the school resumed , I went back . On getting there ,what did I see , I saw a list pasted on the entrance of his office containing names and Matric Number of those that were either submitted through a proxy or submitted late ,they were all given automatic repeat of the course in question. Thank God , my name was not among of those pasted. I escaped it courtesy of a friend . How he managed to submit , the secret was not divulged to me. He did all he could to help me submit. He went all out to Carry it out for me. This a true friend . A friend that can sacrifice his time , money and energy for you to ensure that you are okay. Do they still remain till date ?

There was a story I read in the Newspaper of recent , A man followed his friend to another town purposely to help him to buy a vehicle, on getting to the town , the man he followed arranged for his kidnapping. Some bandits kidnapped him and subsequently he was killed because Ransome asked for could not be provided. What type of friend is this ? Could the man in question who invited a friend to another town be called a true friend ?

So many things are happening these days that call for serious concern and meditation. I was privy to a piece of information in which a man bought a land for himself and also went ahead to buy for a friend of his and all documents concerning the lands were genuine and standard. That is another friend for you. Under what category we you classified a friend like this , a true friend or ordinary friend ? It is pertinent to observe properly to discern the type of friend you move with.

There are some friends you would move with and start witnessing accelerated growth in your life and start witnessing prosperity and Financial upliftment in your life. This can be so with some friends. We cannot rule out bad elements within good ones but bad ones should not outnumbered the good ones.

There are some friends that extend connection and affluence to other friends just in the spirit of togetherness we make it to the top. Only true friends would extend hands of fellowship to you to come and share from the pot of affluence and we must not deceive ourselves true friends that would show you great path to success are extremely scarce , they are very few and their number can be counted on finger tips but fake ones are as plenty as sea sand . This is extremely discouraging to have or nurse the idea of cultivating friendship.

True friends would not contemplate of killing you because of money but preserve and put you through so that you too would be able to stand on your legs. A true friend would not be giving you fish to eat all the time but give you strategy and possibly tools to set out modalities and precisely Nets to fish on your own. So that free flow of income would be guaranteed for you.

A good friend would not betray you and put you on the run for fake promises that leads you to nowhere. I have heard of some people that would promise you heaven and earth possibly in politics that don't worry we shall ensure that our constituency vote for you in the coming election and ensure that you win yet on the day of the election glaringly they would for the opponents. What can you do to that ? A true friend would not make empty promises that can never be met. He would not do anything to make you sad. They are concerned with your well being and your stability.

It cannot be ruled out that there's a correlation between rising in criminalities , banditry , kidnapping , ritual making and bad friends. It is only bad friends that would think of using his close friends for ritual making or kidnap his friend to extort money from him by force.

Bad Behaviours have littered our community. The idea of my friend is my friend I would protect him to the last is no more the order of the day. Spirit of friendship and togetherness are fast disappearing from our system. This is not good for decent society. Thanks for reading.
