Tegese:

I feel like helping. . , but considering the rate at which people come up with similar tales intending to extract money from naive ones, i'll therefore require you to upgrade your profile, filling in your GENDER, AGE, LOCATION and your PHOTO. It doesn't make sense to help an anonymous fella. Does anyone feel me?

Siena:

I'm with you there.

In addition, someone with your circumstances asking for financial assistance should provide:

1) Real name.
2) Copy of passport (a risk, true, but any helper's running a risk too).
3) Details of current or last job.
4) Address in Spain.
5) Landlord / lady, or agency accommodation is rented / leased from.
6) Hospital mother's being treated at in Nigeria, or at least a doctor's report.

It may sound harsh, but a lot of Nigerians do come up with hard luck tales, some true, some fure fabrication.
I too would like to help, but without the above being satisfied, I can't.

And please, don't offer to pay back any helpers - it's most unlikely everyone that helps will get their money back, if I'm helping, I'll render help based on the fact the financial assistance is a gift, and i'm not expecting to get it back.

So, it's best to appeal for the gift of financial aid, not a loan, as folk get pretty upset if not paid back.
I for one would prefer to give £50 away for charity, than give £10 as a loan that I'll never get back.

Hi people,
A friend who presently lives in the US needs help from anyone who can, in exchange for a favour. He is a permanent resident of the US and lives there. He came home late last year, to try and set up a business outlet here in Nigeria-but due to some reasons including the sudden fall in value of the naira, he's somewhat got stranded."Stupidly" he came with a one way ticket
Right now he needs to borrow N250,000 to buy a ticket and get back before March 6th when he has to resume work over there. I lent him N30,000 myself. In exchange he can do either of the following:

a) Pay you back with an agreed interest rate ( no rate is too much he says) after 6 weeks. I will stand as gurantee.
b) Help you get a business visa to the US for a Business conference being organised in the US in the summer.And still refund your money.

For anyone who's interested , you can be rest assured this is not a scam.He's lived in the same house since 1993 in Lagos and his family still lives there. I will also stand as guarantee and he will be willing to show you copies of his Green Card, Social Security Card, US Drivers Licence etc.

Please mail me at solaoyebol@yahoo.com or call 0706 5705 404

[size=18pt] You're going home to see your sick mother? She'd definitely need some money to settle some bills. But, how can you help the sick woman when you can't afford your own ticket money? Except she's in a terminal condition otherwise, i suppose your priority should be asking for help regarding her own treatment expenditures, not for your ticket to see her when you can offer no help.[/size][size=18pt] But why have you resorted to coming to the net to request assistant, don't you have friends or a Nigerian comunity in Spain?

Which money do you even have by the way,

collins2:
