There's something going on, and I want to talk about it. We focus on making money and forget that relationships with people are another important factor. You strive to make money, but don't forget those who were with you in your time; you are nobody. A good reputation matters a lot. There's a saying: don't forget where you come from. I have a friend with whom I grew up together; we write film scripts, we do a lot of things together, and we even eat and sleep in the same house. One day, he wrote a good story and asked me to help him develop the script with my own idea, which I did. Months later, he came to me to tell me that after we wrote the script together, he was called to come to Lagos for the production. I was happy for him and confused at the same time because he was supposed to be paid for the script before the production team would even consider shooting the project. At that moment, I didn't want him to feel bad or think I wasn't happy for him. I said, "Congratulations, when are you going to Lagos for the video project?" I was surprised to hear him say he would be leaving the next day. After two weeks, I called him to say hello, but someone answered the call. After a few days, I called him again to check on him, and he answered the call and said he was busy and would call me back later. Since then, I haven't heard from him again. After a few months, I saw a post on Facebook and looked at the pictures and saw the same guy. My friend and I were happy because the environment where he took the photos looked like London. I immediately spoke to him, and he saw my message, but he didn't reply. I tried talking to him, but he doesn't respond. I'm happy for him because I know life is a journey, but I just want him to talk to me. I don't know if I offended him, so I send him apology messages on Facebook asking him to forgive me if I hurt him in any way. He blocked me on Facebook, and I don't have access to his profile. I moved on because life is a journey. Don't forget where you come from because it's very important. Not everything is about money, but it's very important to spend time with your loved ones. I still love him because he's my friend and we grew up together. I don't expect anything from him, but at least let that love guide me. Thank you for your time. May God bless you all.
