It's not easy to take some people as friends. They can be so frustrating and so annoying. The ones we called our friends are even more annoying than anyone else. Being a trader, I love to keep everyone as friends to make enough customers and have enough sales. Even with that factor, there would be someone who would always do what you do not like. People who would always take your issues to places where they do not deserve. These people cannot keep their mouths shut. We called them basket mouth. Even though they talk from now until the next day, they would continue to lie about what they have done.

I had a friend years back whom I had ghosted out for real. She's the kind of person who loves not being herself. She's the type who always opens up her mouth to even say things she did not see. Moreover, she would come to my shop and sit comfortably, trying to tell me how good her husband had been to her.
Several times, she had come to my shop saying her husband had bought her expensive clothes and shoes. One day, I went to her house, but she was unable to bring out those shoes and fine clothes for me to see.
Last Christmas, she rushed to me and said, “My husband had given me #150K to buy Christmas clothes for my kids. I will be going to Lagos to buy those clothes”. I just looked at her and was angry with myself. Likewise, I was not happy with my husband after hearing this statement from my friend. My husband always gives me a little money just to manage, and I do find a way to manage it perfectly.
“Would you love to go with me?” She asked me directly to my face. I just looked at her and said to myself, "It's not your fault, I only blamed my husband for not giving me enough to buy enough clothes for my kids and myself”. I asked her to go because I was not ready to go.
When my husband came home that day, I just looked at him without saying a word. I was just angry. The day he received his salary, he gave me almost all his salary to buy clothes for myself and the kids. The money was not enough, but then I had to manage it just to buy something tangible to wear on my kids as well as myself.
A few days later, this woman dashed to my shop and began to tell me how much her husband had given her to buy foodstuffs. This time, I talked to myself that it's better for me to drift away from her, or else, there may be trouble between me and my husband. I did not allow her to penetrate further so as not to spoil my heart against my husband.
I had already informed my girl that whenever she comes, she should tell her that I am not at home. Sometimes, she would leave, while sometimes she would wait. After waiting for some time, she had no choice other than to leave. I began to ask myself if I had made mistakes in making her my friend. In another way, she's the type who can spoil someone's marriage if proper measures are not taken.
Most times when I see her coming, I would leave the shop pretending to go to the market to buy something. When she started observing this, she knew clearly that I didn't want her in my life. Her visit began to decline. It's so nice that I have cut her out of my life. She's a relationship breaker. If I had not have mind, or wise enough, I would have talked badly to my husband, which would have caused a serious fight between us.
