So I don’t know if I’m overthinking or I’m not supposed to be angry about what my friend did to me. So, what happened was this particular friend of mine—we’re very close. I tell her most of everything, even secrets. I share both good and bad news. I tell her how this person gifts me money monthly without even seeing me and many other things because we’re close. We’ll just talk, almost every day. And whenever she needs help, I try as much as possible to help out, like a few times now. I remember the time her boyfriend broke her phone, and she didn’t have a phone. I had to give her my second phone to use until she could afford a new one. She even spoiled the phone, and she told me she was going to buy it. She even paid the amount she felt she wanted to pay, the same amount she sold the phone to someone else when it was even broken. But I cared less because I didn’t even count it as something very big here. Another time, when she needed a machine for her new shop—a machine that everyone’s using now,
and she didn’t have the money—I too did not have that kind of money to loan her at that time. It was about N250k or something thereabouts. So I decided to talk to my mom about her joining their contribution. I even begged my mom to give her the numbers 2 and 3 because it was N10k each, so she was doing two. My mom said no, she couldn’t give her blah blah. There are other people before her that have already asked for it, but I begged my mom to just give her, that she needed it. So my mom actually gave her which is my help. So there are so many other little things, which I’m not counting as helps. Just telling you examples. So now that it’s my turn, someone that I call my closest friend, I rendered some help to, and now I needed help. And you have this thing that you can actually help. So I was actually broke this week because of so many expenses that I did. And she knew that, okay, I couldn’t get money this week because of so many expenses. I couldn’t ask from someone who normally gives me money, because I’ve already taken about a million from them already this month.
So I asked her to loan me like 50,000 Naira, and then she was like, no, just telling me what I don’t know and asking where will I see money now. At first, I wanted to get a loan of 1 million Naira to do something because I can’t access my savings, and it will take me like a month. I know she didn’t have the 1M, but I know she was having at least maybe almost N400k, which is for store rent and house rent because her house rent is not that much, since she lives where there is less rent. I was thinking, okay, maybe she’ll be like, well, I have N400k, let me borrow you, and you pay me back maybe next month. Because definitely, she knew that before one month, I would have the money. Then she did not talk about it. I wasn’t angry though because I know she would think it was too much to loan all her savings. So I have another friend that I’m still close to but not like that, my particular friend. So then, this my second friend, I told her I need a loan. She was like, okay, let her do something about it. Then she loaned me half a million—500,000 out of the 1 million I was looking for.
She was like, this is what she could afford because I know she was not really getting salary, and even her boyfriend was not really giving her anything again. So she couldn’t get me the N1M. So aside from that, the main reason for my anger is I needed an urgent N50,000 to use for the week because I couldn’t get money again. I’ve already emptied myself. And I told that my friend, okay, will you still borrow me N50,000? Then she was like, she wants to pay her shop rent. She is going to the bank to withdraw money. So she withdrew N230k to pay N200k for house rent from her savings. So she still has another extra N170k. Then I asked again, will she borrow me the N50k I asked? She said no, she cannot go to the bank again. She sent me screenshots of how she has paid for house rent. Meanwhile, she still has like up to 170,000 Naira in the account. She can actually borrow me while I pay her back. Since she didn’t really need it now, she was supposed to use it to pay for shop rent in two months’ time. And definitely, even before 1 month, I was going to pay up.
Because I even told her during the Easter time I would get something and pay, which is like about two weeks. That is how she was just quiet. She did not talk about it or lend me anything or even show concern. Like someone that I can actually do so much for, couldn’t even lift a finger for me to help me out. So disappointed. I don’t know if I’m overthinking this thing or I don’t have every right to be angry for not helping me, or is she slightly jealous of how I get money freely and she doesn’t, or she wants to w**ked me because I’m temporarily broke? Is she a good friend? And mind you, she stopped talking to me for some days now.
