Adjust for inflation. That 1m in 2015 is worth over 2m today

The bodies of at least 74 migrants have been washed ashore in western Libya, in the latest tragedy along the dangerous trafficking route to Europe. The Libyan Red Crescent posted photos of dozens of bodies in black and white bags lined up along the shore near the western city of Zawiya.
A spokesman for the aid organisation said there were still bodies floating out at sea as the agency had no way of retrieving them. He said the migrants were all adults, mostly from sub-Saharan African countries, and all but three were men.
The UN migration agency, the International Organisation of Migration (IOM), said the dinghy had set off on Saturday with 110 people on board. The agency said traffickers deliberately took the engines from the boat and then abandoned it to drift.

Why do you think that they decided to not repay your loan to them?
Did the same people default on their loans from others?
What do you think it is about you that makes people comfortable with not paying back your money?

It's not about him.
People just don't like repaying

You can say all you want to say.. What happened has taught me a lesson not to help strangers.. That money was also important to me.. I just lent him thinking he will refund when I was ready to use it... Only for him to call me that he was at the airport and he was sorry..
OK, I understand, you didn't lend him the money to travel out. he just borrowed from you and traveled but you should still have prayed for him.

Was he comatose for five years? Why did he suddenly remember you and the money you loaned him 5 years ago? What if an emergency occurred in your life and you desperately needed that 1m within those five years he was away? He should be criticized for this not praised.

Actually, he should convert 1m in 2015 to dollars, and now multiply with the value of the naira today and add a mark up margin on it to get his money's worth.

I loaned somebody 2,500USD since 2015 . This guy has been living in the USA for over 18 years. He promised paying me back immediately but up till today, he hasn't. he doesn't pick my calls again. See life. Naira has even depreciated badly over time. So, the money is worthless now should he pay back. Some people's conscience is long dead

the honest truth is most people think Americans are rich because they hear of huge salary, not knowing with rent as high as a thousand and five dollars tax as high as 30% you cant save much if care isnt taking not to talk of paying a loan back

1 million is $3000 which is like the average pay check of most americans, now for an illegal immigrant like him he can never make such, because it takes time to get your footing without papers in any country

never loan what you can’t afford to lose. That’s a pretty good rule to live by. If a friend asks me to loan him a certain amount I will rather dash him a lesser amount that I know I can comfortably part with.

I completely paid mines 3 bedroom apartment house rent in Lagos, the day e packed out with his family i didnt know...... only to see his picture on some ones Facebook page after 6 years searching for 1000 donors to give 10k for his second kidney transplant,i really felt sorry for him.

Trust me, I have seen people return to pay debt after 10 to 15 years and in a very big way. You should have let him be, God may have set that repayment aside for you in the future when you will need it the most.

Dont relent in doing good, you can make some adjustment like giving out an amount you know wont hurt you. The fact is some are good and some are bad but God surely knows how to bless a giver.

2015 was a different year for me, after my grandpa died, he willed his farm to me. When he was very much alive, I took interest in farm work and i had to move to th village to work on his farm and his poultry. So he willed it to me and the other family members didn't give a damn. (most of them were doing good in Lagos). So 2015 I sold alot of farm produce (I'd say since he willed the farm to me, I worked harder than I was working before when he was very much alive).

I saved up most of the money, made sure my wife and kids were okay and I threw about 80 percent of the cash i made in the bank.

September 2015, I was roasting yam (me and the people I employed to work in the farm, we took a break) and my dude from way back was on the other end, we spoke for hours that I couldn't continue with the other guys.. He needed money for plane ticket and other stuff.. Said he would pay me back in folds when he gets to the states and works for a while.

I told him I was gonna get back to him as I needed to discuss things with my wife and Iwas gonna get back to him. God till date I didn't know how I credited him one million.. I just can't explain it till date. He eventually traveled and i wouldn't hear anything from him until last night (he didn't call me at any point and I didn't bulge for 5 years).. He'd call me yesterday and said he's never seen a nigga like me and he'll wire me some funds Monday..

Please be careful about receiving money from "abroad".
