See How I Started My New Year. Wow by Tinosa: 11:15am On Jan 01, 2019 |
Happy new year my people! A friend of mine came to me begging that they were in dire need in their house and dey were finding it difficult to feed their children. (I know them well and they have been going thru some bad debt issue the husband found himself for over a year now) So she needed urgent loan that she was expecting some money d following day (which was yesterday). I hate seeing ppl suffer and in need cos I'm usually in such situation at times so i cant help but give. So I loaned 13k out of d ONLY 15k hoping to get it yesterday. I'm left without a dime And now she no come fit see d money give me back again, d place she was expecting money from yesterday failed her. I can't even go out because I have nothing on me right now. Pls how do I ask for my money politely so it won't spoil d good I've done?? |

Reason I don't like lending, hard to get back. I'd rather give than lend out 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Tinosa: This is such a predictable story and the outcome isn’t surprising. I know it’s an unpleasant feeling having to remind a “borrower” to keep to their promise but the fact is, you lent out of compassion and you really do need your money back. Go back to her and ask her to pay your money back. Be direct and don’t beat around the bush. I.e. you might say, Morning madam (or whatever her name is), I’ve come to collect my N13k as agreed. Can I have it back now, please? Just get straight to the point and don’t waffle by asking questions such as “how are you? How is the family?” etc. You don’t want to give her an excuse to digress with more woeful stories. In the meantime learn from this. Never lend out what you can’t afford. It’s either you give out “dash money” or you learn to say a firm “No” disguised as “sorry I don’t have oh! Me too dey find money”! It is well. 5 Likes |

I help ppl yet when I need d help, all I hear is I don't have. I still have someone out there owing me 500k because I helped d person out with 1million when things were rough for their family. Funny thing was I borrowed that money from a cooperative where I used to work back then and it was a very big risk i took because I was not even earning up to 100k just 80k. It was severe tears I used in getting back 500k to pay back to d cooperative while till today, d balance 500k was never paid, I struggled to pay it with deductions from my salary for 2yrs. Funny thing is I still see this person and family once a while but we aren't relating and things seems to be going fine for them yet am here roasting and I have 500k out there. It is well. Another one is owing me 200k and I still see her but no mention of my money. I learnt my lesson from those big monies and was really tight fisted for a while but not for long . I really love giving to people in serious need but I just don't have d means to give right now rather I'm even d one in need. It may just be my weakness |

Tinosa: What is this?? ~ You were on an N80k salary ~ You borrowed (probably with interest to pay back) 12.5 times your salary (i.e. N1m) to loan to someone else I’m sorry but I’ve got to ask you this in the nicest way I can.... WERE YOU DRUNK? Or BEWITCHED perhaps??! Funny thing is I still see this person and family once a while but we aren't relating No surprises there and things seems to be going fine for them yet am here roasting and I have 500k out there. It is well. Another one is owing me 200k and I still see her but no mention of my money. I learnt my lesson from those big monies and was really tight fisted for a while but not for long . I really love giving to people in serious need but I just don't have d means to give right now rather I'm even d one in need. It may just be my weakness No, you obviously haven’t learnt you lesson as you seem to have bottomless pockets. Look, if you really want to help others, then direct your funds to a more worthwhile cause. A cause where the beneficiaries will forever appreciate your help. Donate to an orphanage. Sponsor a child’s education. Help purchase medical equipment for your local health centre, find ways to help the less physically abled eg the blind, mute, etc Anything rather than throw away money at lost causes. 10 Likes |

Taniaa: Well, u'll be smarter, next time 1. Never lend out, what u can't forgo. 2. Always cut down requested funds. 3. If u also don't have another source, it's better to dash out d little u can afford, if truly it was compassion that motivated u. For this scenario, u'll just create strife, look bad and still not get ur money. For me, I will wait patiently, cos btw u n I, that cash is a gonner |

This aunty and her plenty tori wey no dey end. The same you came online to beg for money to celebrate Christmas for your kids, now you're here claiming you lent the last 13k with you to 'someone'. You're supposedly a pregnant woman who ate akara, bread and water with her children less than 2months ago because hubby is going through a rough patch caused by bad debt, and you expect someone with that kind of never ending financial challenges to just give out 13k just like that? Methinks when idleness seizes you, you seize your phone and concoct stories for our reading pleasure. SMH 1 Like |

Ishilove: Im not going to deny that I asked for money here and it didn't mean I Will remain in that begging state. I wasnt happy doing it if u must know! That u didn't lend me a helping hand didn't mean that someone else (not here though) didn't or I couldn't get it myself (genuinely). I was in a rily tight corner when I did that. Why are u surprised I'm loaning out 13k? I can give d LAST KOBO in my hand to help a begger or a motherless child depending on d persons situation because I'm not you. I don't need to have thousands or millions to help someone in genuine need that's where ppl get it wrong. I don't owe u any explanation of how I got money and Im sure u are aware that i didn't make this post to beg for money. And if u read my post well, I clearly stated that I give to ppl in need because I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE BROKE AND HAVE NOTHING as I usually find myself in such state at times. U have not seen grass to grace stories. things may be bad for someone for a while but when its time for situations to turn around for good for that person or family, nothing can stop it. I don't waste time cooking up stories what will I gain? So keep digging about me madam inspector general of police 2 Likes 3 Shares |

Tinosa:Madam storyteller, keep posting fiction for our reading pleasure. Different stories of brokeness that never come to an end. Instead of doing edifying things with her time this one is busy spamming the section with fairy tales. You can dash money out, and the same vein you can also come online to beg. The irony 3 Likes |

Anyway I must admit she’s a poor Story for the gods. @op: there’s nothing wrong with weaving a web of lies / fairytales for entertainment. It’s called creative writing. But it doesn’t belong here.
