Ghanaian musician Dr Cryme has advised individuals who want to support others to be cautious about the people they choose to help.
He stressed that not everyone is ready to take advantage of an opportunity.
Speaking in a recent interview with Nahbaff Media, Dr Cryme stated that he has personally encountered situations where people he intended to assist were not prepared to put in the necessary effort.
“I always tell people that help those who want to be helped. Some time ago, I was planning to help some people get to the top, but some were not ready,” he said.
According to him, helping people who are unwilling to help themselves can become a burden and may ultimately affect the progress of others who are genuinely committed to succeeding.
“If you’re helping like 10 people and five of them are not ready to be helped, they will put some form of weight on you,” he explained.

Dr Cryme noted that although he believes there are enough opportunities for everyone to succeed, beneficiaries must also demonstrate commitment and a willingness to work.
“You might be willing to help because you think the sky is big enough for us to share so that we can also win together and some are not ready; they won’t push you or be motivated enough to help the rest,” he shared.
He therefore urged people who support others to remain vigilant and create awareness around their efforts, particularly when they are investing their resources in helping others advance.
“If you help someone too, be vigilant and create awareness,” he advised.
Dr Cryme also encouraged people to help others without expecting appreciation, repayment or recognition in return.
“Anything that you’re doing to help, don’t expect anything in return. Whether the person is grateful or not, leave it to God,” he added.
