He is not, nor has he ever been, your friend. You have always been a meal ticket.

The Bible says we should forgive. Good you have forgiven him.

The Bible also asks that while you are as gentle as a dove, be as wise as a serpent.

He has no business being in your house. You want to host him? Take him to a restaurant.

How would stating the country be of any use in the story? Do you want to go there and carry out a research to verify the story? The main subject here is his ordeal with his friend, and not the country or the details of his business. There's nothing about this piece that makes it difficult to believe, you're just raising unnecessary points.

Thanks for this,my thoughts exactly, but I do not know how to tell him to back off,should I remind of him of what he did?

Tell him plainly that you can't accommodate him in your house because you love your space. Be firm about it so he'll know there's 'no vacancy' in your house ever. Let him interpret it however he wishes.

Thank you so much for this reply,I never knew you have replied,then I would not have wasted my time on quoting someone with a very high degree of ignorance. Octopussy or whatever his name is.
Sensible people are not hard to spot,you are one humanoid.
Will stating the country reverse what I passed through in those streets or the mental pains I went through,telling the story is hard enough

Lol it seems like that person has been bothering you. It'll do you a world of good if you ignore any comment that doesn't follow the topic, that way you'll be able to focus on the important ones. Thanks for the compliment!

Its good that you have forgiven him, but it's not a good idea to allow him stay in your house. Be firm and wise while dealing with such people.
Also, don't reveal your line of business to him. He seems capable of pulling you down at the slightest opportunity.

You know him better to know if you can trust him enough to stay with you. Just give it a deep thought before you decide.

You shouldn't have even picked his calls. Overtime, I have learnt not to have anything to do with people who wreaks of 'negative energy'. Send him a text to inform him that you can't accommodate him cos it will be of inconvenience to you.

If he is smart, he will get the message and stop bothering you. But if he insists, pay no attention to him cos you owe him nothing.

Your stupidity seems hereditary,I won’t bother my time on you,if your life is vague and unbelievable,some people experiences are not,my story is vague? Then I have to lie about my parents death?
I only asked for advice,if you have none in that empty skull of yours,then shut up and stop being a fool on Nairaland
You are an expert on stupidity, being terminally stupid yourself. That is why you will come online to ask asinine questions after narrating a vague cock and bull story. Go and ask advice from your phantom boyfriend

Are you sure you were your best friend's best friend?



You are not okay for even considering allowing him anywhere near your house.

It will show in you if you're truly foolish by accommodating him again. No matter what he can't change. If you're broke again he will still do same. They call them owo epo.

Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?
Bros, he is coming to destroy you. If you are in doubt, let him in. Don't be a fool. If you let him in and the worst happens out of jealousy and envy, don't come and start yelling how wicked God is o.
