Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

I packed my bag amid tears and went into the street. Mind you, I had no one to call back in Nigeria... It was tough on me but as a naija guy and as God will have it, I did not spend even a night on the streets. I was shocked that a total stranger took me in, clothed and fed me. He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?

Sorry, this guy is not your friend. It was a one sided relationship but you didn't know. Forgiveness is required for your own peace of mind and you've done that. Please leave him the past and move on with your life.

I always tell people around me, for every single problem we encounter, there is always a sign that we on our own accord decide to ignore. Allowing this guy into your home will give him the door to do things you'd never fathom, good you have forgiven him, but that distance should be kept. Love him, but that distance should also be kept.

....u have forgiven him, which is good, pls and pls don't let him stay in your house, u don't know what he will do next. Thank God things turn out better when u move out of his house,imagine if it was otherwise.

That guy has something that he is not telling u,maybe something u have done in the past.
Re: Are Best Friends Worth It? Mine Abandoned Me In The Streets Of A Foreign Country by PrinceNino07(m): 8:35am On May 19, 2020
My advice is to forgive him for God's sake, everyone deserves forgiveness no matter what the offense might be,
Now as letting him in, dats ur decision to make, because he might plot evil to bring u down, so be careful and also prayerful.

If it were to be me, I don't think he can spend the night in my house, that doesn't mean I not forgiven him, it doesn't mean am holding grudges against him, No.
What it means is that am trying to avoid troubles and being a victim or even a prey, because evil thoughts will be eluding his mind even to eliminate the person, because he never wanted you to be better than him. And u can't change that mindset.

.
No need to remind him. Tell him he can't sleep at your place and if you have some money, give him to check in a hotel. You can assist him from a distance if you have the resources but no do pass yourself.

Don't remind him of what he did, obviously his coming to see how far you have gone, just tell him u can't accommodate him in your house, that he should get an hotel to stay. U can't continue pretending as if u were alright with his treatment towards you.

Why did you even allow him to chat with you after all the bad things he did to you? If you love yourself block him on every social media platforms, cut all communications with him. If you allow that evil guy you call a friend to stay with you, you will see the bad outcome.

Please don't let that guy into your home. If you want to help him, do that from afar, don't let him get close to you. The fact that someone seeks forgiveness doesn't necessarily mean that they have changed. It's clear from the way he made that request that he's only putting up a façade.

He will destroy your home at any given opportunity. In case you don't know yet, the reason you had to go through those rough times in his home was for you to know who he truly is, you should have learnt your lesson by now. I'm not saying you shouldn't help him, my point is don't get close to him anymore to the point of cohabiting with him.

Listen to this advice and never, ever trust no-one. You should have learnt enough that 'God for all, every man for himself'

My brother I don't see how hard it is to tell someone NO. Why are you worried about it? He knows what he did to you, you yourself know fully well what he did to you,whether you've forgiven him or not ,as soon as he said "my guy na your side I go come chill first" you should've told him straight "over my dead body" or NO if you cant be that hard. When he was evil to you did he come to ask nairaland for advice? Please be guided.

Oga, use your sense ooo
He treated you bad when you went to meet h over there
Now, he sees you as a succeeding person and he wants to come close to you...
Why can't he help you when you wenr there?
Your friend is parasitic and pessimistic
Be careful with him, don't trust him. If I were you, I won't allow him Into my apartment because I don't know his intentions and plans.
To me, I see that he wants to chop your money that's why I call him a parasitic person.

He taught me everything he knows. I worked for 6 months and was able to make 2 million Naira. This was like a dream to me (If you get money ehn, to praise God Dey sweet o)

I came back to Nigeria, rented an apartment, furnished it and continued working from here.

This so called best friend of mine saw my posts and pictures on Facebook and video called me to check on me (I guess his eyes did not believe what he was seeing) he asked me if I am in a hotel, I said no, I am in my apartment. He was shocked (me I nor keep any grudge against you) he told me he was coming to Nigeria and that I should please forgive him and forget everything that happened. I told him I can forgive but can’t forget.

What surprised me most are this exact words he said “my guy, if I come, na your house I go relax first abeg”

Now my fellow Nairalanders, I am asking, how should I go about this?

I have forgiven him but should I allow him into my home?

Best friends or closest friends as some people term it is quite normal in the life of 80% of world population, I had one too.

We grew up as teens together, matured as adults together, he came to our house always and ate all his meals with us. My mom was really nice to him when she was alive. He wore my clothes and never returned them. I did not ask because my parents always provided for me although they were average citizens.

Then the worst thing in my life happened. I lost both my parents within the space of four years.
Things turned downhill for me (orphans do suffer a lot.. Too much suffering for you to believe there is even God in heaven who takes care of the fatherless and motherless).

My friend travelled to an African country. He kept telling me to come over there to work that things are better there. I kept declining but after a year of constant pressure, I decided to man up, packed my bags and travelled to meet him.

Guess what? I did not stay up to 5 days with him!!!

His attitude changed by the second day, he yells at me at every given opportunity, from his best friend, I turned to his boy, the heat he was given me was so bad that when he leaves the house and he comes back, I get scared just by hearing his footsteps. I virtually turned to a nonentity to him. I had no money on me because the little I had left, he collected it when I arrived. I knew no one, I felt so miserable and alone and I started regretting why I left Nigeria.

On the fifth day ,I woke up early in the morning and shook him up. I don’t know what got into me (but I am glad it did), I told him I can’t stay with him anymore and I want to leave. He did not even feel bad about this, he did not think of the fact that I know nothing and nowhere in this country. He let me go.

The Bible warns, " be wise as serpent". Forgive him but do not get close to him. Friendship demands both trust and love. Can you trust your friend? Is he trustworthy? Please, pay a hotel room for him to stay in. He can visit you from time to time in your house but do not build a relationship that has red flags.
