what of when your friends are keeping up your appearances for you without you knowing, like hyping your personality... Like, when i was in secondary school, i went to federal government college enugu.I had to fit in with all the rich kids around, many of which their dad were prominent in enugu, in the southeast and nigeria, amongst whom we had uba's daughter, ifeoma nwobodo's daughter, sullivan's little cousin and so many of them in that category. I just didn't fit in cos they were hosting bash and V shows virtually every week and eating at crunches and golden toast, there were money being thrown around. they would always discuss about their neighborhoods which never went past trans-ekulu independence layout, GRA and the likes. I was never gonna comment on coming from achara layout which is considered the ghetto of enugu city, so i always kept my silence until some of them started asking me to back them up when it gets to extreme bragging with hopes that i was from their neighborhoods but i continued to maintain my silence. they became more inquisitive but they couldn't get me to say a thing . they made up their mind that i was coming from ugwu-aji a village not too far from our school. On one of such jesting of where some of us came from, a not too close friend of mine stood to say something i still cant understand why he had to say those things after so many years. Well he told them that they should forget my being quiet that i lived in independence layout around copacabana and so many other things he said which were not true. I couldn't just say anything because the statement left even my jesters speechless and also i wouldn't like to challenge him like that while he thought he was helping me, that would have given his rep( short for respect) which many people were ready to do anything for a huge blow. in such case what would you do..??
my dear...I think we have to ask this question to other people because I honestly don't have a clear answer. I think that we should all be proud of our beginnings however and not shy away from saying the truth about where we are coming from.
