The Worst Embarrassment You Have Received As A Result Of You Not Having Money by Plus10(m): 10:29pm On Dec 16, 2021
A friend just called me of how he was embarrassed by his Sister inlaw because of the money she borrowed him sometime ago.

According to him, his Sister-inlaw came to his house last week Wednesday to ask for the money. But unfortunately he did not have the money to give to her but he however promised her on Wednesday this week.

He made the promise hoping that the company where he works was going to pay him yesterday Wednesday. But unfortunately, the company later prosponed it to tomorrow Friday.

Now according to him, the Sister inlaw came to his house today to ask of the cash. When he was trying to explain to her that the company has shifted payment till tomorrow Friday, the Sister-inlaw starting yelling at him with a very loud voice even neighbours around were hearing her yelling. She called him stupid and foolish even in the presence of his wife. Now my friend is highly diverstated, he said he does not even know how his neighbours will start seeing him with the kind disgrace meted on him by his Sister in law.

Now has lack of money caused you any form of embarrassment in life before? If yes, how did you manage to hold back? Your comments are highly welcome!

Two days back, my little brother was diagnosed with malaria. It was indeed severe and I was cash strapped. I told the pharmacist to treat him while I hustle the money for him.

Unfortunately, I was unable to pay for his treatments as promised. Today, the dude just disgraced me in our area. Shouting on top of his voice that he didn't leave his village to serve me here and raining curses like a hurricane.

I was speechless. You know, the borrower is a slave to the lender. I begged him to give me till 30 December 2021 to see how I can raise the 10k. Someone sent me 1k I gave him to hold. If you see the way the dude threw the money at me and insulted my dead father eeh. I was just silent and I bowed out.

I can't even pass my area now because all eyes will be on me. Last last, I know I will make this money.

When I eventually have the money to pay him before the deadline, I will walk up to him, thank him for extending his grace period and leave.

The war is not against him but poverty.

UPDATE

I paid the pharmacist on the 22nd of December, 2021.

Days ago, I typed the above ordeal to just share my personal experience expecting nothing. I just typed to give a new narrative to how I handled my menace.

It wasn't long before, a good Samaritan (amdman ) reach out to me and credited my account with the exact amount needed to offset my brother's bill. I went to the pharmacist's shop and gave him his money. I thanked him for extending his grace period, appreciated him with an additional 2k to make it 12k for his kind gesture and I apologised for causing him distress.

He was perplexed and thanked me. I said, thank those that helped me out with the money.

He wanted to apologise for insulting my late father, but before he could finish his sentence, I obstructed him and told him not to. I told him I understand his rage and I promised never to cause him or anybody mayhem again.

As he was there trying to be emotional, I left.

Once again, thank you amdman for coming to my aid.

Remember, THE FIGHT IS NOT AGAINST HUMANS, BUT POVERTY.

I appreciate this approach to the issue. Many will curse the guy and ignore the main issue to be dealt with.
Fortunately for me, I haven't had such an experience before. I, like most Nigerians, have money issues too but my experiences are quite different.
Your own season too will come.

Most people deserve the embarrassment they get, especially the borrowers. If you make the mistake of borrowing a Nigerian money, you're in trouble.

Most times you need to embarrass them before you'll get your money. Some will even tell you to calm down for small change, after all federal government sef dey owe.

If people were genuinely honest, nobody will embarrass them. Nobody is more humble than a man looking to borrow money. Same person becomes a beast after collecting the money.

I don't just like borrowing......Of recent,I was really broke,like so broke.....Not that I don't have friends who'd easily borrow me the amount of money I needed to sort things out,but personally,I refused to borrow.....In stead,I went back to the former bakery where I used to hustle, removed shame and worked there for a week just to raise the money I needed. cool ............No be say I don't usually pay back,I do.....But what's the need to borrow money when I've got an alternative on how to raise the money? That was what I said to myself...

Instead of many talks wey go lead to embarrassment,make I kukuma go to work undecided

When the daughter of Jezebel I called girlfriend absconded with everything I had, I nearly begged for food in Abuja. I remember walking into a joint, saw my area nigga and begged him to pay for half plate for me, not even beer. Nigga's exact word "Do I look like father Christmas to you?" I left there with face full of shame and later saw him in the evening buying suya with his babe. That was the day I swore never to beg in this life again.

Life , I don't know maybe it is only in Nigeria, but these days it seems the only thing valuable about humans is how much they have . Family , even your own parents won't call you to know they care except money is involve.

Relationships are now based on what you have not because of your personality. Is painful to know no one cares truly except you have money .
I try to advoid borrowing and if situations warrant I borrow, I must pay back for I do not borrow what I know I can't afford to pay back .
But it hurts to know no one's cares except you are rich .
No matter how many people flock around a rich person , that person is lonely for no one cares about him except the money and if the money goes away , then he )she will see how naked they are

Now has lack of money caused you any form of embarrassment in life before, if yes how did you manage to hold back ?Your commens are highly welcome!

There was a day as far back as the early 2000s I was really broke. So broke I didnt have transport fare to go home from work (5k work oh). I pleaded with my boss to assist me with 20 naira. I had planned to trek half the journey and take a bus for the rest of journey with that 20 naira. It was already 9pm and my boss told me to wait until the accounting was done for the day. I waited till 11pm and my boss basically acted like I no longer existed, all because of 20 naira ohh. Last last I could not wait any longer so I began trekking a distance of about 5 kilometers to my house. As I dey trek I dey pray make I no jam police or kidnapper or tout for road because if I jam dem my life don pause be dat!

How a course mate keeps reminding me how miserable i was back then in school. Living like an orphan, a puppet, who practically live from hand to mouth

He constantly reminds me how difficult it'd be getting a job in this present state of the nation. Not even me, a son of nobody. He always reminds me of my worries

I'd shed tears at my closet, wet my pillow and slept off. I keep asking God for his mercy upon my life. His narcissistic behaviour and utterances had made me developed hatred for my family

This had always been the embarrassing moment i got from this particular guy.

That my friend was bullying.. He was saying all that to feel good about himself but deep down, he is empty...

Mine happened this yr August /September after loosing close to 50m due to two of my project crashing with some scam stuffs and crypto inclusive (as I need to withdraw money outta my wallet to handle a Deal but the loss @ that moment if I comot fund na dead and no help from any angle so man just withdrw the money like that and loose close to $36k)
I hate begging from people normally so I went to meet some of my school guys whom I know they’re well to do to assist me with some funds make I use am quickly run some deal and get good return before withdrawing the fund from wallet
Mehn they all said nothing is available even though I know say dem get normally two out of them even block my number mehn I wan Die that period cheesy
Thank GOD for life and my parent prayer since then I’ve vowed never to assist any human on earth if you aren’t my family (not even extended ) or I’m getting a tangible value from you.

Hopefully I’ll open a thread one day once I’m done with the last project at hand
what I know is HUMANS ARE WICKED grin

Not that it hasnt happened b4, but I used it as a point of reminder to my Father that I wont go into any illegal means of making money. "I was once told to do Yahoo b4" I was once questioned as a man b4, I was once asked to go get water in a gathering brother in laws were and they were still young, lols in all of this my song has always been I WILL DIG A LITTLE DEEPER, GO A LITTLE FURTHER, PRAY A LITTLE LOUDER BECAUSE JESUS LOVE MUST BE SWEETER. The final one I heard was "the prayer I have been praying, where is the koko" THAT WAS THE TURNING POINT. The guy earning 25k with almost 10k going as transport as at June with his FATHER being questioned commands millions per month all thanks to my FATHER. see bro, dose insults should take your friend boldly to the Throne of Grace (Heb 4:16) cos Grace and Mercies of God is numerous there. Tell your friend not to feel bad but rather see it as a ginger to be a success, he should pray to God, read and digest God's Word and always push more. All shall be well. SHALOM

Sometime ago I visited home on break from school, one day I was at home with my younger siblings waiting for lunch. I was devastated when my 11 year old sister walked up to me and told me that gas has finished and we would have to wait till momsi or popsi comes back in the evening so it can be refilled. I was embarrassed and so ashamed that I couldn't afford even 1kg of gas that was around #350 or #400 then. The sight of our last born holding my short and telling me that he's hungry amidst tears broke my heart. Even recalling that even brought a tear to my eyes, one of the reasons I refused to go home for this Xmas because I can't stand to see things I'm supposed to do while I sit around helplessly. cry cry A broke man needs daily condolence visits, it's almost as if you're dead and doesn't exist.

Being poor exposes one to all pains in life .. abuse , insults, depression, sickness, and untimely death.

To all struggling Nigerians out there.....I say to you NEVER GIVE UP!..we shall overcome some day..... don't stay idle.. keep working... one day, God go pick up our calls.


Ñote - When you make it.... please don't forget the days of your humble beginning.... remember your experience as a broke ass and help every needy person around you.


Merry Christmas in advance.
