BENNYOMOEDO, UGO EAGLET AND HAIR TUTORIAL LIFESTYLE: IS THIS A REAL QUARREL OR CONTENT CREATION? 👀🤔
The ongoing quarrel involving Bennyomoedo, Ugo Eaglet and Hair Tutorial Lifestyle has got people talking, especially after Hair Tutorial Lifestyle came online to express her disappointment that her friends did not check on her or ask after her wellbeing when she was sick.
Now, before we start picking sides, insulting people or dragging anybody, I think there is a bigger lesson we need to learn from this situation.
First, let us ask ourselves: Is this quarrel even real?
These three are content creators. In the world of social media, what looks like a serious disagreement can sometimes be a deliberate storyline, a skit or a strategy to keep people entertained and engaged. What we see online is not always the full picture of what is happening behind the scenes.
Of course, the quarrel could be genuine. We cannot conclude either way without knowing the facts. But we should be careful not to turn ourselves into judges in a matter we do not fully understand.
However, even if the quarrel is 100% real, there is an important lesson here: NOT EVERY ACQUAINTANCE IS YOUR FRIEND!
Let us understand the difference.
🔹 An acquaintance is someone you know, greet, interact with or occasionally spend time with. You may know each other without having a deep personal connection.
🔹 A work colleague is someone you relate with because of your job, business, profession or shared activities. You may laugh together, collaborate and even appear close in public, but that does not automatically mean you have a personal friendship.
🔹 A friend is someone with whom you have built a personal relationship based on mutual care, trust, understanding and commitment. A genuine friendship usually goes beyond what brings you together in the first place.
Of course, a colleague or acquaintance can become a genuine friend. Some colleagues become family, and some acquaintances become lifelong friends. But that relationship has to develop naturally; it should not be assumed simply because you know each other.
Now, here is where many people get it wrong.
You meet people in the same industry. You attend the same events, create content together, laugh together, make videos together and support each other’s businesses. Because of that, you assume that everybody is your friend.
Then you fall sick, experience a difficult situation or go through a personal crisis, and you discover that the people you expected to check on you do not even send a message.
Suddenly, you feel betrayed.
But the question is: Did those people ever agree to be your close friends, or did you simply assume that they were?
There is a difference between expecting basic kindness from people and expecting a level of emotional commitment that may not exist in the relationship.
That said, checking on someone who is sick is a thoughtful and compassionate thing to do. Nobody should be discouraged from showing kindness. But we must also recognise that people have different capacities, priorities, personal struggles and understandings of friendship.
Not everybody who fails to call you necessarily hates you. Not everybody who works with you owes you the same emotional commitment as your closest friend.
And not everybody who smiles with you in public has a personal relationship with you in private.
My advice is simple: Learn to categorise your relationships properly.
Know your acquaintances as acquaintances. Relate with your colleagues professionally. Appreciate your social media collaborators for the work you do together. And reserve your deepest expectations for relationships where genuine friendship has actually been established.
Do not force friendship where there is only association.
Do not confuse social media visibility with personal intimacy.
And please, do not measure your worth by how many people called you when you were sick.
Whether the situation involving Bennyomoedo, Ugo Eaglet and Hair Tutorial Lifestyle is genuine or just content, it has opened up a conversation worth having.
Sometimes, the people you call your friends may see you as a colleague. Sometimes, the people you think are close to you may only be people you share a common interest with.
The earlier we understand this, the less disappointed we may become in life.
Now, let me ask you:
If you work with someone, create content with them, laugh with them and attend events together, does that automatically make the person your friend? Or must friendship go beyond professional association?
