Early Morning Gobe! - Biting The fingers That Feed You

Why do people turn around to bite the fingers that feed/fed them and then turn around and try to blame it on the devil?

Biting the fingers that feeds you can be anything and I am sure somehow we have all done something at a point that puts a question mark on our character to certain people who are of help to us,however there are some extreme cases...like the one you are about to read.

A friend of mine called me some months ago and after we gisted for a while,she told me the main reason she called,which was that her cousin's husband was making advances at her and she wanted my opinion.She said she didn't want  to sleep with him,but just wanted to get money from him as the man in question is really loaded.I immediately told her not to even think of it as that would be a huge betrayal on her part.

Stella,this cousin of hers does virtually everything for her,paid her fees through out her university day and even in law school (and might I add that law school fees no be beans o),this my friend comes from a very poor background and her Dad is late,I know how her mom struggles to take care of her two younger siblings,as she and her elder sisters are fending for themselves.I reminded her how that her cousin has been of immense help to her,and how she would be biting the fingers that fed her.

She kept on insisting that she all she wanted from her cousin's hubby was money,as she wasn't planning on sleeping with him,besides that she was really broke,but I warned her that no amount of money was worth her betraying her cousin,the lady who has done so much for her,treated you like her own sister.Stella,this same cousin of hers helped her runs her NYSC posting to Abuja and even linked her up with a friend that she squatted with throughout her service year (we were among the corp members that recently passed out).


Now Stella,I thought my dear friend listened to me o,I really thought she did,but unfortunately she called me yesterday evening,crying that she was finished.After I managed to calm her down and asked her what the problem was,the babe told me that her cousin just sent her a msg on BBM.Stella,guess what was the content of this message?


 A chat history of all her nasty chats between my friend and her cousin's hubby!!! And after that,she wrote 'thanks for having my back'.After that,the cousin deleted and blocked her from her BBM list,she tried calling her cousin but she has refused to pick her calls.She sent her a text,explaining that she just wanted money and didn't think it'l go that far,still no reply from the cousin.


I asked her if she slept with the man but she said no (though I don't believe her),she's really confused cuz this her cousin has been of great help to her.Her cousin called my friend's elder sisters and and her mom and told them that my friend wants to destroy her marriage o,she also told them to tell my friend not to tell her husband anything and she doesn't plan on confronting her hubby.My friend's sisters and mom are so angry with her,they called her to reign abuses on her and told her how she disgraced their family.

Stella,I really don't know what to tell her cuz the matter sef tire me. This is the same cousin that promised her a Dubai trip this christmas,and I was even green with envy when she told me.Abeg,any advice for her,how do you think she should go about this? I don't even know if I pity her cuz she kinda brought this upon herself..



*She crossed the line and there is nothing she can do,tell her to stay away from her cousin.
