Is It A Now A Sin To Help People In Distress? by caprini1: 9:11pm On Jul 03, 2015 |
I am really feeling very bad today,as I was going through my old diaries,I bumped into 3rd of July 2011,on this day I gave a loan of N300,000 (three hundred thousand naira) to my co tenant,whom both him and his wife lost their jobs in 2010(both were working in banks). I told them they can start paying me back after 6 months with no interest,as the wife just had a new baby.After 1 year ,they couldn't pay anything,unfortunately the man developed kidney problems ,friends and well wishers rallied around and raised money for him to go for a transplant in India,this was in 2012,Glory to God ,the operation was succesful. I gave them the whole of 2013 to get themselves organised,and in January 2014 they moved to a new apartment without my knowledge,I got feelers from a Pastor friend of theirs that they bought a camry 2000 model,and I was very happy for them,at least moving around would be easier. .I called and wished them well,and he told me he will start working in a new company by January 2015,and he will start paying me from February,I thanked God for his life and everything,but as I write this I have been calling his two numbers and his wifes two numbers ,since february till today,the 3rd of july and their phones will ring out and both won't pick...when I use numbers they are not familiar with they pick,but on hearing my voice,they drop. I am really feeling bad cos everyone deserted them at that time,and the money was for their rent,cos the landlord was almost throwing them out,.the few people I told made fun of me,because I,m from Anambra and they are from Ekiti...but I don't see them that way,rather fellow christians in need. I wish them well....it is well! |

Sorry for your loss dear. You know sometimes you can't really understand humans or way they act the way they do but don't let it deter you and stop you from helping others, you've been doing well ever since they refuse to pay you and now you'll do better, its their loss. 4 Likes |

Op your issue is not a problem at all as far as I'm concerned just pay police like 7k and get them arrested (both husband and wife) then the police should make them sign an agreement form officially stating WHEN they'll pay back and what should be done to them if the money is not paid It's obvious the couple don't want to pay you back your money next time don't lend the kind of money that if they don't give you back it won't pain you.

caprini1:what's your own business with his kidney transplant. They can transplant his phenese for all I care. Do they look like people who are considerate about your feelings. A couple that ran away with your money and when you call them they don't pick up I don't expect you to be considerate of people who don't care about your feelings or care about INTEGRITY if you are serious about getting that money back you'll do the needful since you've been civil with them.you sef get excessive patience 3 Likes |

This is a lesson to all, never u lend money to any soul that would pain you if your money is not paid back. I repeat never you lend money or else you will die in frustration and depression will be your lot. A naija can never pay u back the money he borrowed from you. it is in our nature. |

caprini1:This one is not an issue of unnecessary anger.even your anger is justified because if you don't protect yourself people will walk on you anyhow and take advantage of your kindness I personally don't BORROW MONEY to people neither do I lend except if I just want to dash you the money without expectation of return since the day I lent one of my neighbours a very interesting book so dear to me (48 laws of power) As a matter of personal principle i don't borrow because people don't care about integrity and it ruins friendships |

intbizoil:true. Because I know that people will not return it I don't give. What's more annoying I find people coming to ask for money to borrow is money for naming ceremony Children's school fees children's school uniform money for house rent if I have to even give for any of this I don't expect a return |

Take your time to convince yourself that the money is gone.. You will have closure.. If you continue hoping to get that money back, you will constantly hurt your feeling If they pay back then it will be a bonus for you, if they don't, you wont be bothered You have lived so long without that money then you can continue living your life... 2 Likes |

lolz but awww, you sound like a good guy. if you didn't sign a written contract with them that they would pay you back, there's really nothing that can be done now. verbal agreement can work in some instances but in naija you're oyo if that's all you had. if they are good people and people who appreciate what you did for them, the last thing they would be doing now is ignoring your calls or picking up and hanging up when you use other #s.they seem to be doing okay now and should be making payments little by little or at least just giving you something. but nope it doesn't seem like they want to give you your money back. sorry caprini1: |

Typical. Some people only understand gra-gra language. @op, you need to toughen up your approach otherwise be prepared to kiss your N300,000 goodbye. And learn from this experience. Next time draw up a written contract and get them to sign it, before lending out anything. Some people sabi beg sha... 1 Like |

Some people are heartless,and I am sure while he was begging to borrow the money he must have been crying on his knees.No wonder the Bible says the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked who can know it.The painful thing about the whole scenerio is that when the law of karma comes knocking even his children will suffer for it.If only men knows that there is something called karma men will become less greedy and wicked. If only men can have little conscience the world would be a better place. 1 Like |
