Friends make the world go round, they share our special moments with us and make the world a better place.
The key to every great friendship however lies in the discerning ability to understand its limits and expectations.
For
instance, we all have that friend who’s perfect to hang with on a night
out in town, and the one who’s better suited for a conversation on the
Nigerian economy.

The roaring 20s are the time
when friends really play a significant role in our lives as this is the
point when we chart out path in life, and the people we share it with
really make all the difference.

That said, here are 7 friends every girl in her 20s needs to have.
1. The party rocker: We all need that fun friend who can turn up with us on a Friday night and every other Saturday at the hottest wedding in town.
2. The career mentor: Usually
an older person, the career mentor is the one who sets you on track in
terms of a career path. They’ll provide the right connections and help
you land that dream job.

3. The serious-minded gal: Sometimes
we feel an overwhelming need to discuss or understand why world peace
has been so elusive, the economic effect of the brand new African
passport on the continent and the naira’s refusal to appreciate despite Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) best efforts. This is the person you turn to for these conversations.

4. The girl-about-town:
For when you need to go on a spa date, check out the latest hot spot in
town or do some major shopping. She’s also the one who supplies you
with all the latest gist in town. An essential in today’s world.

5. The ride or die: You’ve been
friends for longer than you can remember, and she knows where all the
bodies are buried, probably buried them with you. She’s the true
definition of a friend and you’ve been through it all together. Every
gal needs a ride or die to confide in and keep them grounded.

6. The spiri-koko:
This is the person who’ll invite you to religious programs; some of
which you’ll probably turn down, but she’ll never tire because she
considers it her responsibility to win your soul for the Almighty.

7. The trusty male friend:
Because every girl needs that guy she can run to for advice when the
boys start to drive her a little crazy with their mysterious ways. He’ll
counsel you, console you, tell you the difference between a direct and
indirect free kick, and on occasion, he’ll be your driver. When life
gets a little too overwhelming, he’ll take you on a fun night out.
All-round good guy, till his girlfriend comes between this cosy
arrangement, or you borrow sense and marry him yourself.
