Friends who do not clap when you win

I saw a post CrazeClown put up on snapchat (yes, I am a fan of his abnormally..lol) and it spoke about supporting your friends. With this age of social media, it is very easy to show support to friends simply by reposting their posts on Facebook, twitter and instagram. 

But is that really what it means to support a friend?

A lady I know (let's call her Fati) bought a new car and a bunch of her friends came by her house to see it and say congrats and 'wash' it (I have an opinion on this car washing tradition and I will certainly share in the near future). It was all nice and cheery for the first few days. Then she had to meet up with a friend of hers (let's call her Jane), to go to a meeting together. Now Jane has always had the advantage of using her mother or father's car to move around and was used to Fati not owning a car. She had heard that Fati had bought one but had not congratulated her or even acknowledged it. On that day when they met up, Jane didn't have a car to use and took a cab to the meeting point. She got into Fati's car and a conversation that resembles this, ensured:

Jane: how far
Fati: good o. sorry abeg, I still trying to figure out this car
Jane: no problem. so this is the car I heard you bought
Fati: yes o
Jane: mmmm....why didn't you ask someone who knows about cars before buying
Fati: hahaha...you assume I didn't because I didn't consult you?
Jane: I didn't say me but I could have introduced you to someone
Fati: really? so you feel I bought rubbish?
Jane: well, the car isn't worth it.
Fati: how so?
Jane: it isn't now...look at it. Why will you pay so much money for this?
Fati: do you know how much I bought it?
Jane: no. but I am sure it cost a lot of money and you are so easy to swindle...who ever sold it must have chopped your money.
Fati: I paid 500k
Jane: (with a stupid look on her face). Oh really. well, you better check the engine and make sure something isn't wrong. no one would sell this car at that amount.
Fati: I have a mechanic. the engine is in very good condition. plus if anything happens i can always call you to introduce me to your all-knowing-car-friend and get it fixed. 

When I heard of this convo, all I though was "why won't you just be happy for your friend instead of trying to pour sand in her garri?" Let's be real, there are some friends that do things that are just not worth supporting but when your friend wins (winning is the new Nigerian way of saying 'achieving', 'moving ahead', 'succeeding'), do you not owe it to him/her to congratulate and celebrate? Well, maybe 'owing' is not the right word to use but you get my drift, yeah?

I think that any friend around you who is not able to tell you "good job" or "I am happy for you" or "wow, this is a fab thing you are doing" is really not your friend. And I am not referring to disconnected social media posts...I mean face to face. 

So ladies and gentlemen, please be mindful of friends who do not clap when you win...you never know what they are using their hands to do behind your back.
