The mistake he made. Don't convert earnings or gifts to any currency. Take what you see as face value. This is the same mistake most Nigerians who japa'd recently tend to do - convert earnings in the abroad to naira. Tomorrow, they will come and argue with me that a skyscraper cleaner in the UK earns more than a bank manager in Nigeria.

It is the friend in the diaposra I blame. Not everyone in Nigeria should be sent money. The friend too in Nigeria should stop converting dollars arbitrarily.

P.S. This is assuming your story is real as you are fond of creating funny stories depending on which side of the bed you woke up from.

Your last stanza got me rolling on the floor.Mind you the story is fake.
Remember when she was gifted 80k here some weeks ago,she said her friend in the Uk also sent her money.

Madam has created another account since this her account has been ban.

Lol

I am curious, what did he say was the reason for his refusal?
How many time has he visited Nigeria and the general family in the past 25 years?
How close are you both, before he relocated and while he was working?
He just opened up and told me that he does not have. This is someone that is a professional nurse in USA!! Ordinary 900$.. he has been coming to Nigeria.. this is my blood brother the same father and mother.. thank God I bought the land without his money!!!

That is nice of him. I appreciate his honesty. It is an anonymous forum, so I would like to know more. Is he married or divorced? How many children does he have? Could he be on student loans? What speciality of nursing is he into? What rank is he on? Twenty-five years as a nurse in the US means he is not less than 45 years old. There are a lot of questions to ask, honestly.

Including blood relations? shocked

Wow! So, if I have the resources and my blood brother wishes to buy land, should I decline to give him the money?

It's a free world, do whatever you want to do. We don't all follow the same rule book.

Only you and your God know if you’re a real person or a troll. This was you not long ago giving testimony and thanking God that someone sent you 20k

Fast forward to today and 20k is now an insult. Because the sender lives abroad?. And I’m the one with warped view?

I won’t even bother trying to get it to make sense to you.
Clearly that’s a job for the brave and patient

Learning a lot about Nigerians here. My conclusion is for people to just stick with their loved ones. Mend fences with your family members, develop each other, and when you have extra for charity please send your donations to charity organizations. Giving to these so-called old friends and acquaintances is very dangerous. Some of them believe you are showing off while others believe they deserve more. Just stay off them and be at peace with yourself.

i agree with you 100%!

If it were now it would be running into 60k.

Your friend tried. A friend sent me 200 dollars three years ago and I smiled home with 8o k that year.
