1) Select an amount you want to save every month without thinking of anybody but yourself

2) Take out expenses for the month (transport, feeding, bills etc., school fees for children if any)

3) Take out 10% of what is left for unforeseen requests from close family (Mother, Father, Sister, Brother no friends whatsoever in this category)

4) Do you have anything left?

Yes: Based on priorities (your priorities) distribute this to help someone that you know needs it and that GOD will bless you for


No: I for talk but...

Truth is, what bonded you guys together must be very strong such that it extended to your own sister.

My advise is, stop flaunting on social media if you do, next use the current pandemic as an excuse anytime they come to you for money.

If you can may be later try and settle them for a business and cut them off. There are several government sponsored unemployment schemes they can enroll to and be getting free monies, you are not their weekend ATM card angry

Hi all,

I will really appreciate if moderator can help push this to front page.

Firstly, insults are welcome. I reside in Europe. Two of my friends they are biological brothers, they've been sucking me. I have been sending them money regularly for years, yes years, but I now realised that these people are not ready to work or learn any skill. Even their own biological brother in abroad reported them to me and doesn't take them serious anymore except their mum. Infarct, i used to send money to their mum too. But they just keep asking me for money everytime. Imagine I just sent you money when you said you are sick, two days after you sent me voice record asking me for money to rent a shop. Then the younger one who's chat bellow asking me for 100k for three of them as if I am picking money on the floor here. To some people in Nigeria who always think all nigerians in diaspora think we always think you're begging for money whenever you say hi just to hear from us, it is not the case. How about this too?

I am really tired. My wife who always agree I should help them have started complaining too. These two friends suddenly changed because I used to send them money even before they ask. It's like every week one problem must happen to them that require money. They will just send account number and the deadline time. They keep coming, coming, coming back again after giving. I have paid hundreds of thousands of naira for visa processing for one of them maybe at least they will stop asking me for money and one will be able to help his brother, but the visa was unsuccessful.

Few days ago one of them ask me to give him my sister's number that he just want to greet her since it's been years he saw her last. Behold, the next day my sister called to ask when did I hear from my friend last and did he mention about financial problem to me, I told my sister that he called me two days ago and asked of her number which I gave him. My sister said he requested for money to support his house rent and she sent him some money. I was shocked. Can you imagine guys? My friend. I am not saying it's a crime for him to ask my sister money but why lie to me that you just want to greet her when you asked me for her number? Whereas I just sent him money too not even up to a week.

See another demand again, see my reply, see his reply.

I know one or the two of them will start gossiping me around that I am proud, but they won't tell them about the good I have done for them, I have been doing. They won't. Some friends are not worth it anymore. I am very upset now that it's affecting me mentally and with my wife. Even my children were asking me last night "dad are you alright, you're not happy".

You know what again, one of them sent messages to my wife asking for mobile phone. I saw it but my wife didn't know that I saw it not until I responded to him myself and told my wife to never bother. My wife later sent the phone to him. Since then he's been using that opportunity to demand from her. Though he eventually stopped it but continue asking me only.

I have sent so much money but they just never stop asking. And I am not the time that take pictures and flaunt them on social media. I live my life on low-key.

I need your honest opinion.

Insults are welcome I promise I won't react to any insult.

I wanted to block them on my social media especially on WhatsApp but I had a rethink so they won't feel like I am proud because I am in abroad.

Just out of interest. Did you do video calls to actually confirm and verify your friends are the real people asking you for the money and not some fraudsters that hijacked their whatsapp numbers?

Fraudsters lack conscience and that is what i can glean from the whatsapp conversation you posted.

This is very simple, I have passed through this, the early you develope a thick skin and take a final decision about them, the better for you o. You are not geowing younger and have a family to cater for, if you go to Nigeria, you will be surprised that they have achieved more than you.

Wake up now!! Block their lines and face your life. People are only concerned about themselves, call them that you have issues over there and you need money, they will not give you a dime. There is nothing to worry about in this kind of issue, you are just trying to earn the name "the good guy". Whenever yiu stop, they will still talk so wake up and make yourself and wife happy.

I am here in USA too the same story here. The best thing you can do now is to block them at least for 4 months. Let them say what they want. Even as we are sending them money they would still be blackmailing us so man up and block them stop free money for 4 months and they would come to their senses and find something to do.

Being too nice is a big weakness.

I will leave you with this quote below, once you read it, you should know what to do.

"Helping people is godly and good but making people dependants on you through the good you do is ungodly. It starts becoming counter productive when your help develops in people a beggarly attitude or inferiority complex. Whether it is through financial help or mentoring". Poju Oyemade.

p.s you see that popular saying "givers never lack" that is the biggest lie ever told.
It is givers with sense that never lack.

The truth is they aren't dealing with you as friends anymore but a maga which you should make them know you are not... Don't give them 1 penny anymore, it is better you are called proud than called a fool, which they are indirectly calling u already...

Block them all on social media and ur wife does same thing, but before you do that tell them you are blocking them so that they can start thinking and fending for themselves as men henceforth....... And when they are ready to do something reasonable with their life like learning a trade or business as that will be the money u will give them which is the last.... Give them an option to choose a trade they want to learn themselves and fund it, after that don't give them 1kobo anymore.... U have tried even their brother Don tire isn't that enough reason to show u they are Liability and don't want to work or change

Some friends are not worth it anymore. I am very upset now that it's affecting me mentally and with my wife. Even my children were asking me last night "dad are you alright, you're not happy".

You know what again, one of them sent messages to my wife asking for mobile phone. I saw it but my wife didn't know that I saw it not until I responded to him myself and told my wife to never bother. My wife later sent the phone to him. Since then he's been using that opportunity to demand from her. Though he eventually stopped it but continue asking me only.

I have sent so much money but they just never stop asking. And I am not the time that take pictures and flaunt them on social media. I live my life on low-key.

I need your honest opinion.

Insults are welcome I promise I won't react to any insult.

I wanted to block them on my social media especially on WhatsApp but I had a rethink so they won't feel like I am proud because I am in abroad.

Did they put their hands into your bank account?...

Oshey, agba friend.

You're the kind of friend 80% of these broke, leeching Nairalanders would pray to have. You're doing well.

Keep up the good work, until your eyes clear.

Hi all,

I will really appreciate if moderator can help push this to front page.

Firstly, insults are welcome. I reside in Europe. Two of my friends they are biological brothers, they've been sucking me. I have been sending them money regularly for years, yes years, but I now realised that these people are not ready to work or learn any skill. Even their own biological brother in abroad reported them to me and doesn't take them serious anymore except their mum. Infarct, i used to send money to their mum too. But they just keep asking me for money everytime. Imagine I just sent you money when you said you are sick, two days after you sent me voice record asking me for money to rent a shop. Then the younger one who's chat bellow asking me for 100k for three of them as if I am picking money on the floor here. To some people in Nigeria who always think all nigerians in diaspora think we always think you're begging for money whenever you say hi just to hear from us, it is not the case. How about this too?

I am really tired. My wife who always agree I should help them have started complaining too. These two friends suddenly changed because I used to send them money even before they ask. It's like every week one problem must happen to them that require money. They will just send account number and the deadline time. They keep coming, coming, coming back again after giving. I have paid hundreds of thousands of naira for visa processing for one of them maybe at least they will stop asking me for money and one will be able to help his brother, but the visa was unsuccessful.

Few days ago one of them ask me to give him my sister's number that he just want to greet her since it's been years he saw her last. Behold, the next day my sister called to ask when did I hear from my friend last and did he mention about financial problem to me, I told my sister that he called me two days ago and asked of her number which I gave him. My sister said he requested for money to support his house rent and she sent him some money. I was shocked. Can you imagine guys? My friend. I am not saying it's a crime for him to ask my sister money but why lie to me that you just want to greet her when you asked me for her number? Whereas I just sent him money too not even up to a week.
