What if something happened that u are unable to return his money?

WoundedLamb:
It's easy to see why you're so upset given his utterance. Sometimes, we say things thinking our friends understand forgetting they have feelings too. But you also made a difficult request. Please, I'm not supporting or defending him. I'm only offering an alternative perspective, which I think is why you created this thread. Perhaps, your friend didn't think you'd seriously make that request at that moment and that's why he brushed it aside.

It's like you complaining your school fee isn't complete yet and that you need to pay before the exams start in a few weeks, and then a friend asking you to give him the cash you've got to double. Only a few people would take that risk. And if something goes wrong, the same people asking you to discard your friend here will be the ones calling him a fool for bargaining with the money he couldn't afford to lose.

What I am trying to say is, don't be quick to compare what you've been doing for your friend with what you asked him to do. You gave him money you could afford. By this, I mean you gave him money from your extra cash after taking care of your pressing needs. But you're asking him to violate the first rule of investment: invest only what you can afford to lose. Business-wise, that doesn't sound so smart. The truth is, even though he's got the cash, he simply can't afford the money you're requesting.

Besides, you didn't just ask him for the money cause you've got some needs. It was more or less a way of helping him out. Since it was clearly for for his own benefit, it could be deducted that him not giving it to you is not just because he didn't want to help you and thereby helping himself (he wouldn't be stingy to himself at this moment). He must have weighed his options and realized the bargain was way beyond his risk appetite.

Again, the response wasn't really encouraging but it could just be a communication error given his state of mind. Let's not let emotions run high. Good friends are difficult to find. If he's really a good friend to you, you would know. Nairaland people don't know a thing about your relationship with him, it would be easy for us to say, "cut him off!".

dtruth50:
what if they didn't pay him or something happened to him that is more important than the rent?

Theboy21:
And you still call him a friend, cut him off Asap

Chuknovski:
