No, I haven't.

Knowing myself, I'd have probably involved the law to take its cause if the person didn't pay.

I don't have time for games and I don't care if you're my family or friend... Once the time is overdue, you'll be served with summons to appear in court.

Omo, if you ask me to borrow you 10k, I'll send you 5k and I'll never ask you for the money. That way, I know you'll never demand for another loan cos you're still with my 5k. Life na wisdom.

I no longer lend out money but I have to lend this particular person because there is no way I will be happy to see her lose her life or her baby when I have the opportunity to help.

Oh so the person is even a female? Acting like a ghetto gypsy. Hmmmmm. She is trying to take advantage of your calmness and gentility. You may have to forget that money and learn the hard way o

This one is from my childhood friend.

This person begged me to send this money to him in 2015 because he is stranded in Borno and doesn't have anything on him to transport himself to Port Harcourt.

As a good person then, I managed to send him from the little one I have even when I was struggling then.

I reminded him in 2021 when I was sick and in need of money to buy drugs but this is what I get back for being kind.

He didn't pay and blocked me last year.

The other person I lend paid half of the money and the other half is history 😂😂😂😂.

Some people are wicked, Imagine someone I lend 20k on Monday is asking me to send her my account number so that she can send me back my money while some people don't want you to even remind them not to talk about requesting back the money you lend them.


Life.
Whenever I borrow people money,I discovered it always turn out bad when I want it back, even as far as loosing some friends,so God gave me wisdom to deal with the situation,if for instance you ask me me to borrow you 10k, I will cut it into half,send you 5k and I will tell you,I didn't borrow you the money but a gift from me and that u should find a way to complete it and use it for what you want. That way I have peace of mind and I don't loose friends again.

I don't give a damn.

I've once done it before... Everyone around me knows how much I don't like people who can't stand by their word.

Already my family has got a legal aid, so getting a good lawyer is not a big deal for me.

And I'd advice every family to have a legal aid too, in case of situations like this one.

Terrible.

This world is about using format these days.
If somebody close wants a loan of 50k, just dash him like 15k and wish him good luck. Unless I already planned to give them that kind of money requested.

I cannot lend money and later be told that " haba, how much is 50k sef that you won't let me rest? Even US Govt is owing trillions". I nor fit o.

I once lent a relative I thought was reasonable and has integrity a decent amount of money. He gave a specific time to pay back. He never mentioned it and I never asked him again. 7 years gone.

He did some errands for me and I planned to appreciate him for it. I planned to give him more to just support his hustle, more than he borrowed. The errands were not even worth 10% of what he borrowed from me. But I reward people who do things when I need them to help out. Some always expect favours but cannot do something for you.

In his mind he probably believed he cheated me by borrowing and never mentioning it again. I intended to tell him to keep the money if he wanted to return it and give him extra. That way, he can set himself up. By not mentioning it again, he lost the extra I intended to give him.

It's almost three years and what I've learnt so far is the average Nigerian is poor when it comes to paying back loans, not just in monetary aspect but in non-monetary terms.

And again, I've been able to know some people real color with the way they handle money, they'd promise heaven on earth, shed all kind of tears but when it comes to pay up, damn, na to vamoose.

I'm more grateful mine experience came from mentor, friends and those who had thought had a reputation.

The only difference is that the person was my friend's boyfriend and my friend was even the one who permitted me to get legal action against him.

I don't borrow people money. If I see you genuinely need help, I'll just give you what I can afford and tell you to forget about paying me. I value my mental health and wouldn't want anyone to drive me crazy cos I'm trying to collect back my money.

That one na normal thing...

I willingly use to give, but now, my fellow human being has hardened my heart.

Imagine someone owing you about 150k to shouting at you that you are pressuring him.

In total, people own me about 400k and i have forgone all of them.

But if you come to me for help, omo i don't think i help you, even if it involves life and death.
