Angelacruz: I agree with you. You gotta make that hard decision. Like you know too, you help a Nigerian with $100 today, they'll come back for $1000 tomorrow, that's just the way they are programmed. It's sad. 1 Like |

@ikoroduarea Maybe you are blaming them for your own fault. Isn’t it clear you made poor decisions and handed them money when it is completely unnecessary, isn’t it clear they seem to start having problems all a sudden they are around you? Don’t you think your over been-caring gave them the wrong impression? Don’t you think sometimes it is good to tell them you don’t have at times? Don’t you also think you can teach them how not to depend on you? You made many grave error and their only sin here is they exploited your free hand. From now on you need to start living realistic and do things not because of their many problems or crocodile tears, they are your siblings, you don’t need to run away from them. Do things only when you are personally convinced about it. if you don’t feel comfortable simple tell them how you have gone broke and how things has become so bad for you(A lie isn’t all harmful). In conclusion, You should learn how to act properly with your money when it comes to social and family circle else you will face same problem in the future. |

ikoroduarea The problem here is that you think you're being nice but you're actuslly being stupid. Stop being stupid. Those guys are parasites with an entitlement mentality and you're their Maga. I too can be stupidly kind so I have an incline where you're coming from. Do you want to get rid of them forever? I did this to a Parasitic scammer about 2 months ago. Send some amount of money to them for a specific purpose. Tell them they should hand over the money to someone. with the hope they'll use out of it. If they use out of it or use all of it, tell them you won't send them money until they pay up! Find a friend who will help you out. Send like 100,000 to them to give to a 'lawyer' to assist you with the documentation of your land. Your friend will be the lawyer. Ask your friend to delay by a week before going to collect the cash. By then, they would have spent out of it. If your friend goes to their house and does not get the money, let him scream the house down. A few hours after that, call the 2 parasites and ask them what happened to the money. They'll obviously give an unsatisfactory answer. Tell them to refund that money. That your friend has been screaming at you that he wants his money. That they must pay up that money. That you will never send money to them until they pay up. Tell them that if it even 5k a week they can send to offset the debt, they should do so until the debt is repaid. Parasites want instant reward and because they need money from you now, theyll find it very hard waiting for 20 weeks to pay up the 100k. They'll never be able to pay up that 100k because the reward doing so is not instant. Report them to their relations what they did to you. Make a mountain out of it. As long as that money remains unpaid, do not give them a cent for "stabbing you in the back". I used such that means to get rid of a Parasitic scammer. He can't guilt trip me into giving him money as I used the money I sent to him to expose his dubious ways. It was trap and he fell for it. His greed completely blinded him and fell for the bait. I felt no guilt blocking him. Do likewise for these parasites. Make sure you block them till they pay the 100k. Tell them the lawyer is on your neck and his relations and friends are harassing you where you are, that their calling you a thief. If you can't stand your ground with this, then they'll suck you dry.

Farakay10: Don't blame your uncle, blame yourself. I'm sorry to say this, you are weak like the op. There is nothing wrong in helping. However, it becomes a problem when someone is clearly manipulating and taking advantage of you. You see it yourself yet you do not have the will power to say no and put a stop to it. A person is weak when he/she is incapable of saying no even when he is hurting. The op is aware he is being manipulated not once not twice yet........Even the brother of the people manipulating him is strong enough to shun them, op carry them for head. This is weakness and he needs to be flogged. 1 Like |

Rebuke every sort of jazz they might be using to exploit you, inform all your family members to block them and you, your wife should block them off on all channels. They are all bunch of lazy ungrateful lots. Act first before they ruin you! I know of someone who traveled out and blocked everyone after two months due to the exploitation thing, most of them feel once you are out of the country then you are picking money on the floor. |

ikoroduarea:The belief is that when you are abroad, it rains money there. Or wads of cash is found in dumpsters. If you tell them you dont have they will think you lie. Meanwhile Nigeria is the place where you get easy money. You go greet one big man he will hand out envelopes of cash for transport |

[quote author=ikoroduarea post=92126103]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. Pls your mumu don do . Stop sending them money it's obvious they are still taking advantage of your kindness to keep asking every now and then . |
