OP run
It’s the beginning of the end of that friendship




What are friends for than stabbing each other at the back








Chuky7:
Ever had it bad?

Where they clashes?

Did you hate the person for life?

How much was involved?

What kind of venture did you go into?

I have,
Doing business with friends and family is not easy, those two and money don't mix well

One advise, if you can't be professional then keep family/ friends and money completely separated but If you must, then get everything properly documented and seek clarity on how profit/risk and responsibilities are shared before you commit money

As for me I don’t have the luck,if I loan out money I won’t get it back
But I borrow money from friends a lot and pay back with interest,Infact more than bank interest

undecided
I learnt from what happened to my eldest sister....She left her shop (lumbering) for her friend while she went to assist her husband in his own business....Her friend betrayed the trust she had for her..From my sister's business,she built her own house,and even opened a bigger shop....My sister had to chase her off...

Since then,my sister experience don run enter me....I rather do my business than share or even fund a Nigha man's business, unless say I just feel like dash am the money.

Just know that whatever you give is gone. Therefore give what you can afford to let go without so much pain - works for me always!

...and once you failed me, never again will I give you sisi!

when the business click, the man sideline my dad, change sim, bought more vehicles, built ous in village n rented a new ous in lag..
no be small wahala o, my dad was even begging for his 500k back and the so called friend just gave him 300k and said he would complete it letter n dt was how he finally left for Ghana up till now.
but even with all these, my dad keep saying dt he av forgiven him n keep telling us dt we shouldn't allow the wrongs of that his friend make us lose respect for him if we ever see him n also we shouldn't transfer d sins of that man on his children if we get to meet again...

So Pathetic but, 300k is even to much. Ahn ahn,
The guy is an ingrate I swear!!!
Crossroad1:
Remember I helped a friend fund a photography business back then and it cost me..
When I needed this guy to help another friend who is not a mutual friend, the guy was short of cash and he needed photo and video for his wedding. So I contacted this my friend although I know he is not gonna do it for free but just reduce price from 900k to 300k cos of me, alaye stopped picking my call and when this my friend called him direct, this is what he said..
**shey because he help me set up business na why he dey follow me talk nonsense abi? Shey na him train me ni?
When I no get money go training center, shey him fund me ni? Oga if you no fit pay 850k,make una Bleep off..
This was recorded..
I just laugh it off..
This is someone I got camera for, drone and screens.
And even gave him some cash because he was just starting up then..
I told myself, if am gonna help people, I will help and do my own for God but that someone will now come and start forcing my hand, na curse the person go collect.

Am versed in photography, do photobook, frame and video, you will still have enough change from that 300k

bros Abeg share some principles on how to make that kinda money ...legit tho in a month .... I don read book Taya but if you no sabi how to convert it to income it's just as useless as an unread book.

So if you have some pointers on how to get our there I am assuming you are a businessman... I need guidance from those who are in the know and this goes out to anyone reading this too..
I am into media and software/game design

Thanks

Simply don't.

Otherwise they will hate you for life so that the story will not be heard and they will not pay back due to the spoilt friendship.
