Lady Details Cousin’s Friend Situation
She explained that her cousin provided the funds to cover his friend’s wedding expenses, though the exact amount was not disclosed. At the same time, the childhood friend moved to the United Kingdom and is now residing there comfortably. Later, when her cousin sought to purchase a plot of land and fell short by ₦300,000, he reached out to his overseas friend for assistance, but received no response. The viral tweet has since attracted numerous comments from X users.
Reactions from the Online Community
Commenters weighed in with their thoughts. Lemchi noted, “Lending money in this country is risky; when repayment is due, you often have to plead repeatedly.” Olugbenga remarked, “Some people stay close only to take from you and never offer help when you’re in need.” Arike added, “I’ve learned that helping someone doesn’t guarantee they’ll reciprocate; that’s just human nature.” David summed it up succinctly, stating, “People and wickedness.”
