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.

i understand everything you going tru. I wont advice you to block dem bro, they will scatter your name with gossip, just go get another number and register it on whatsapp move your client from the old whatsapp to the new whatsapp. Abandon d old whatsapp for dem ( and please dont switch off recipent on the old whatsapp o so they can always see your last seen lol. ) den go ahead and enjoy your chat with friends and client that have sense on the new whatsapp line. Cheers. Life is simple



You can decide to b coming online on the old whatsapp one in 2 month. This is wat am currently doing and it works like magic. Pipo like your friends no dey ever dey call na because na cheap data dats why dem get finger to beg

People like this will never appreciate your help and it'll never be enough. If you remind them now that you've sent them a lot of money already, they'll say you've not sent them anything. That's Nigerians for you, ingrates! You should've put a stop to sending them money before it got to this point but it's not too late. Reduce communication or better yet, change your number and disappear! Tell your sister to also change hers.


Exactly. And when u fail to meet up some would even calculate how many months ago u sent them last. Like u owe them or they're ur responsibility. Some people have sh1t for brains really.. An ingrate will always wear u out if ur not smart enough to cut them off..

Do what I do. I read the chats and not respond. If I have explained before, please don't send me more requests. I don't even bother with blocking. I read and delete the chat and go about my day. I give only when I believe the person is responsible. If you start with the emotional blackmail, I ignore forever.

My brother who is based in Ontario abandoned his watsapp because of Nigerian friends. He codedly gave us his new instagram handle if we (family) must chat him up. It was madness.247 begging and these friends have jobs over here but just because you are abroad they feel greedy to ask. Mr Man, CUT THEM OFF!!! if tables were to turn, they wont send you money recklessly.yes I used the word "recklessly" because that is exactly Wat you are doing.

If you die today, they will still survive! They beg you for money, beg your sister, beg your wife for phone. One-day they will beg your wife for nudes. Just look how careless you are with your family members phone number.

Tell your wife to call them to raise any money they have because currently you are in police net/jail and they are trying to raise money for bail. Ohhh! I know you can't do that because your type can't stay off social media daily posting and show off.

lol lol lol lol lol...
Re: My Friends Exploiting Money From Me, Advice Needed by Kivaro(m): 6:08pm On Jul 27, 2020
Dear OP,
It is actually incorrect to say that these friends are exploiting you. This is what is happening: You have assumed the role of a Slavemaster and your friends are the slaves. Slaves must depend on the slavemaster for their daily bread and the slavemaster must provide. If you had has set them free from thier slave-master mentally, things would have been different. The question you should be asking yourself is "Are you a slavemaster?" If the answer is yes, continue to do what you have been doing and meet the needs of you slaves, whether warranted or not. If you answer is NO, then set them free and live your life without being a slavemaster. There is no need to block their phones, or change your number. You cannot run away in this IT age. You just have to remember whether you are a slavemaster or not. All these complaints are useless, all empathy from Nairaland forum members will be short-lived. As long as you realize that you are no longer a slave master and do not need to meet any slave's needs, you will then have a rest of mind. The challenge is "Can you afford not to be a slavemaster?" your guess is as good as mine.

I have been doing this for them for over 10 years. I ma not a stingy person. I have a very active charity foundation for the support of less privileged, which they've benefited from too many times. My wife had earlier recovered from sick shortly before the second time ease of covid19. My major problme is the pressure and contstant demands. Its not even up to 48 hoursi sent the senior one money before the younger one demanded for money for his shop again. Thank you for your concern. Like i said earlier, insults are welcome. Thank you everyone.

I'm still trying to understand this mode of begging. Which one is God will help you, pls help us? I don't understand, channel of blessing or what? God, op believe me you, they are just seeing you as maga. Ahswear to God, no form of gratitude is in their heart whatsoever. They see it as billing you. They even have the guts to tell you how the money will be shared, you thief am

In the spirit of giving sha that God has bestowed upon you which i must commend, please EPP a real hustler. Like I'm sure if you EPP me , God will be genuinely happy. This your friends no mean well at all. I can be reached on WhatsApp sir if God happens to touch your heart concerning me.

yeah it's hard for some set of people,never blame them,they are just this kind of people who pity people even to their disadvantage buh my honest advise is tell them in person you ain't feeling those vibes instead of ruining friendship of many years,I Kno they are negatively exploiting their chances buh we don't Kno what
tomorrow holds for anyone.......you have done your best buh my candidature advise is that you make sure you bring one of them to the state if that's where you reside so that they Kno the pains you are going through daily,and once again.....please don't block or unfriend them,it's not worth it
