Yesterday, i was going through my Facebook posts from 2009 and i found one which read; "If you had a chance to help a friend or a total stranger, who would you help and why?" I thought i'd share it on Nairaland. So good people,in such a situation, who would you help and why?

Anyone that needs the help i could afford to render and that im in position to offer.
May God help me.

hehehe, sholay, there is difference btwn borrow me money, i will refund it on so-so date and give me money, i dont have anything on me.
Although, both are forms of assistance one can be in need of, but when the helper is now taken as fool, what do you think
Now, get this right, i didnt open a thread because he was assisted, i did because i think we were played on. One thing im certain of, is that, if the man had asked to be given some money, we would definately had given him without expecting refund. Also, if he was just saying..."i dont forget o, pls, give me more time", we would have concluded that he is yet to be capable of paying, and i wouldnt have thought that we were taken as fools.
Well, that is bygone now, and im sure that one or two people would have learnt something from that thread.
May God help us all.

I sure did.

And wat I meant by 'you won't have to open a thread abt me on NL' is that I will surely pay you back and not try to play hide and seek with your money. Tho, na joke I dey joke sha. May God help us all.

@op,I prefer strangers.not that I don't help "friends" (depends on who u call friend) but I'm comfortable goin outa my way 4 a total stranger.I also found out dat everything that touched me,lead me to where I am now was done by one stranger or d other.whenever I hv a need for something,somebody somewia will just pop out and be of help.
Maybe there is a corelation,I don't know
Meanwhile I don't hv friends. I c everybody as friends provided I can relate with u.no special friend.doesn't work for me

My brother,you've helped many Angels unknowingly i'll say.

Same with me. I don't have a 'best' friend. I have a collection of great people,who our paths happen to cross and we touched eachothers hearts. I called them 'life-lines.'
