A lady revealed that her aunt lost one million naira after reconnecting with a former schoolmate at a reunion, even though she had been warned earlier not to lend money to attendees.
She noted that this was her aunt’s first reunion appearance in many years.
The former classmates were delighted to see her, yet an old acquaintance privately cautioned her against giving cash to anyone who asked, explaining that many habitually borrow and never repay.
The narrator explained that her aunt stayed in touch with the woman after the event, speaking with her frequently by phone.
Roughly a month later, the woman asked for a two‑million‑naira loan to replenish her shop inventory, promising to repay it within a week once she secured another financing. The aunt ultimately transferred one million naira.
Friend vanished after receiving the money
Recalling the incident, the lady said, “An elderly friend approached her and warned that if any of the attendees requested money, she should refuse, because it is typical for them to borrow and never return the funds.”
She continued, “My aunt lent her one million naira. Suddenly, the woman stopped calling and ignored my aunt’s calls. Weeks passed without repayment… It was then my aunt realized that a 58‑year‑old woman had deceived her.”
Further questions emerge
The narrator added that her aunt later consulted another male classmate for advice. He told her that he had faced the same situation with the same woman after lending her money twice, and contact ceased after the second loan.
The story has sparked online discussion, with many social media users urging caution when lending money, even to long‑time acquaintances or friends reunited after many years.
