Nah you don't have to, bye gone is bye gone, u can allow him come over but for 24 hrs max, m sure he is shocked that u made it and he is coming to confirm it, friends like that could do irrational things outta jealousy.. Still be on hi hi terms with him, if he asks something n its within ur power, you could assist, am sure if he didn't make you go tru all this, maybe u would still be eating from his table, so consider his actions as a push to ur success.. Remember life is too short to be creating enemies.. Be cool with him even if u guys can't be close. And watch what you say around him.... Take care
Thanks for this

Please don’t let him stay in your house.
You have forgiven him but be wise.

He’s clearly jealous. He’s coming to your house to see things for himself. You can’t predict what he will do after that.

Nice one. He may be up to something out of jealous.

Come to think of it, would he have taken you back in if he drove past you and you were still on the street?
His action was what made you meet with your helper, no lies about that, yeah a channel to your blessing like Joseph's brother were to him.
A good thing you have Forgiven him, it's definitely difficult to forget, but try to. Taking him is a decision you have to be careful about and ask for wisdom on how to go about it.

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?
Forgive him wholeheartedly but don't let him into your home. If you have the cash, pay for him to lodge somewhere far from your home.
Ask yourself why he's decided to come back to Nigeria or is the foriegn land no more good to him?

Never give him your address. You can send him little help financially from the farthest distance available but NEVER open your doors for him.
Move on from such friends.

OP if you love yourself don't let him come back into your life. He wants to destroy you.
Someone who persuaded you to come to a foreign land and started misbehaving the next day you arrived there. He means nothing good for you.
See probably his dreams are to see you beg from him.
OP if you love yourself, avoid him at all cost.

I will say two things to you.
.1. Never allow that nigga in your house or close to you. Avoid seeing him when he comes to Naija. You are not his enemy but not everybody deserves to be part of your life.

2. The motto of Government College Ikorodu is "Amatus quoque ameris"---having been loved, you too should love. There will be a day that someone will genuinely require your help. His/her survival might depends on it. Don't turn away.

Let me not border you with my story of this so called best friend bull shit, yours was just clothing and feeding but my was beyond that but few months after he got to his feet(got a job) through my encouragement and support he changed. there is a saying that you know a real man when you give him power and money, then you can tell if he is humble or not.
I have forgiven him and we even exchange pleasantries whenever we see each other anywhere but the York of friendship and Trust has been broken. if you know what is best for you and your future, you better tell him now that he has not entered Nigeria that you don't have anything against him but you can not allow him staying in your house, not even to drink together as friends. Is it when he poisons your drink or food that you will learn lesson in your graveyard. learn to watch National Geography or animal world. the AMAZON FOREST IS FOR THE TOUGH AND STRONGER ANIMALS AND NOT FOR WEAK ONES. turn your weakness into strength or else you die.

Lol, Forgive him. Isnt that enough!

Dont take him in. Never should you act like a dundee United again. A bad fellow is a bad fellow. Dont do anything for God as per his case. At least not in terms of being close to him. God doesn't show endorsements to every kindness.

He can't be of any help to you. Even if he is going to, he will first take you for a ride for it, then later tell it to people how he has helped you.

Maintain a "close circuit" with worthy people. If I tell you about what friends have done to me. How two ran away with my millions at different times Just because I trust them.


Treat people exactly the way they treat you Pls.

As to your question: yes there are good friends. I have one. He is fantastic. He is great. He might even love me more than I do him.

But still I try to be careful.

So question for you?

Would you treat family the same way they treat you?

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?

It's good you have forgiven him but I suggest you do not let him stay in your house, someone like that is evil, look for an excuse to avoid him coming to your house

Dear Op, that guy was never a friend, he stayed long with you n your family cos of wat he was getting at the same time was envious of u. Wch is why as soon as he felt he got small money than u he wanted to feel like u and u like him wen he was coming to ur place.

Having said that ,it is good to forgive but the scars shld remind u of wat happened,that guy is still envious of u as he was wen ur parents were alive, if u like urself keep him far from your place. Tell hik u re going out of town ,dnt even give him money, tell him u ll call him later.meet him at an eatery ,open place too, pay for his food and drinks, if he cant afford accomodation take him to a hotel n pay the bills ursef, no give him money or let him know ur house, the heart of man is desperately wicked. That guy fit kee u inside ur house oh i don talk my own
