This story reminds me of what a supposed friend of mine did to me earlier this year. Kenny, may God judge you wherever you are.

Long story short, I slept at this my guy's place on a Saturday/Sunday.

We came back, and I paid my house rent shortly after using my card.

Baba wiped over 50k from my account. Guy that I was feeding and planning on buying food for that same day. Omoh, I was speechless.

The next day, I went to bank. That's when I knew he used my Opay to run the level. Deleted all my alerts and feigned innocence. I went to the police, paid 2k for report and 1k to settle Inspector in charge(after so much begging).

Las las, they sent one police man to follow me and we carried him. He slept there over night. The next morning, his pops came and las las the father agreed to pay me.

Took him about 5 months before I got my money (police Sha collect 4k again)

In this life, watch who you call friends. No dey disclose your net worth and even if you do, understate it like crazy.

Rule Number Uno, Never let no man know, how much dough you hold cos..the cheddar breeds jealousy..

Back then in school, we were writing exams. We had a very tough course dat day. So, I decided to "play formation" with my neighbour and best friend. We settled on him reading the part from lecturer A while I read the part from lecturer B.

Unfortunately for me, only 1 question came out from my part while the remaining 4 questions came out from his part. I quickly wrote my part and sat comfortably for like 30 mins for my guy to write something before sharing his answers with me.

When I called him, he told me something that made me never to depend on anybody till this day- only your parents wants you to be better than them

He did not scam me but taught me a bitter lesson

There was this very best friend of mine called TT, Infact we are so much close that we do everything in common. Back then I was working in a night club and I have to resume work in the evening and stay throughout the night. On this unfortunate day I got home after work to get some good rest since I’m awake throughout the night. This my so called friend come visit me and realize I’m fast asleep, he stole my blackberry bold 10 phone which I recently bought and left immediately without anyone noticing him. If not for my pops intervention by scaring him that he will invoke the god of thunder to strike whosoever stole the phone. Alas my friend secretly return the phone the next day early In the morning at our doorstep.

A reason why I don't dig role model/mentor till date.

It was late last year and I had some funds idling away in the banks, decided to throw it out to ForEx (albeit through a private investor and a coach). The writing was on the wall, when I informed Ken about the ROI, however ekuke like me still proceed.

It was on the day of pay out it dawn on me that I've been played, the so called investor was just making promises here and there but at the end of the way, I move.

What happened made me realized that:
1. When it comes to money, reputations is bound to jump out of the window.
2. There is a thin line between being gullible and getting defrauded.
3. Just because someone is respected doesn't mean such person has no questionable character.
4. Trust nobody that's what I learn on the street, but trust must also be earned.
5. When it comes to trading with your funds on the internet, do your assignment very well, there are monsters everywhere who don't care if you go bankrupt

Two years now pastor Mathew no send me my remaining 10k ooo, he’s not even picking my calls again, chai I lost faith in pastors

2 well I almost scammed my best friend by almost collecting one of his maga but with the hope that I will tell him later, and we can still use that Avenue to collect more money from the woman, but alas it didn’t work and it spoilt our relationship but then, we made up and we still real gees..

Thank God this post has been made.
Guys I gave my laptop to a friend who was referred to me by another friend and he has disappeared into thin air with my laptop and the 30k I gave him for repairs.

Prior to this, I have met him for installation and keyboard cleaning for like 3 times. He was staying with that my friend in a shop.

The guy was booted out of the shop because he sold stolen phones that led to police invading the shop.
Since I had already developed closeness with this dude, I gave him my laptop in his house with the money for repair.

To cut the matter short, he left the house, no longer pick my calls, and wouldn't pick calls if its relating to me. My friend that referred me to him wouldn't give me any information about him. He excludes himself from anything social media. But I'm 100% sure he's still in my locality. I thought of going to the police.
Please how can I get help? I am willing to pay anyone who can help me.

My best freind downloaded loan app on my phone, borrowed and submitted my phone data to them.

I wasn't aware until after 3months when my dad called and asked who I took money from.

Felt betrayed. I gave Him access to my things

2015. Sent my very good friend of 5 years 400k to help me run a project while I out of town, to arrive in two weeks. This MAN used my money to run his own ish with hopes of using the profits to do my project. E choke. I got my money back after many threats. Today, we're enemies.

2. This man encountered one chance people and they took all his belongings. Gave him one of my android phones to use for the meantime, to return it when he bounces back. This man sold my phone.

People can do anything when they're desperate.
All those moral and religious values will fly out the window
