He shouldn't give, no need for long story. I thank God for parents that could provide.

I also thank Him for contentment.



No the bottom line is:

If he wants to give with no strings attached, fine.
If he wants to give with strings attached, fine.
If he does not want to give, regardless of if there're strings attached or not, fine.

Na him money, he sets the rules on who receives it.

E no reach matter to call God put; because according to religious folks he also created those who do not have parents to provide as well as those who are not contented.

The good thing is that as I was told once, all problems in school end in school; so I wouldn't worry much for the lady.

I don't give a girl money who has never given me pussy. Unless it's a relative. Unless she gave me money first.

That's just me.

Better the platonic friendship die.

If konji was killing you would the platonic friend rescue you and open her legs?? Ask yourself that. If she'll never open her legs for you, there's no reason for you to open your wallet for her.
Again. That's just me.

very close, before her challenges came up back then during 100level she calls and messages to Know how I'm faring, if I don't call for a week she complains that I've abandoned her I control her anyhow I wish, I do call to see her during odd hours at odd places and she obliges, anytime I asks to see her she has never for once given me excuses even when her schedule is tight she will still find a way to see me, drops loads of messages on WhatsApp and whenever I'm a day or two off Whatsapp she'll flash to know if I'm still alive lol, she says a week shouldn't pass without me calling thrice and a week shouldn't pass without us meeting up each other and she hasn't asked me of any financial assistance before even when she's out of data or airtime she won't ask, I'll only do that without her request and if at all I want to help I'll help because of all these stuff I've told u.
of course Sha but tho it'll be limited after all I helped out a guy i barely knew with 15k earlier for accommodation but when I later come broke for school ehn as foodstuffs finish and everything the guy couldn't reciprocate.

You still didn't state if you'll like to take the friendship to the next, if possible,..... if you can do it out of your goodwill without expectations afterwards then go ahead.
But note that this is typical Friendzoning.

When a girl says she's in a platonic friendship with you, what does she really mean?

Is it just Casual friends with no relationship attached or Closed and deep friends to confide in with no emotions or affections or love relationship that you both are dating but absence of sex?

well I got a friend I asked her to define our friendship and she said we are just in a platonic friendship that's all. Though I like it that way cos I don't want any distractions as I don dey near to finish school so I'm battling how I'll shoot from this boundary 2:1 to first class which seems to be a Herculean task so dating and engaging on all those stuff may dampen my goal now.


Okay straight to the point, so this girl that told me we are nothing but platonic friends has some financial issues as she hasn't paid her fees as her parents are financially drained (dad got sacked, mom's business isn't flowing) so she risked suspending her studies cos she couldn't register her courses and the school fees is 50k (Course registration inclusive) and she had to struggle and hustle during the holidays and earned 20k and now needs 30k to complete an pay her fees and register her courses.

I long paid mine and there's this work that entered for me an I had 50k gain and tho I don't have any pressing needs except to boost my wardrobe and save the cash or by my mumsy a present.... But my mind and conscience is irking me that I should send her the 30k and help her out but that money is too much to give out to a platonic friend that I'm not sure I'll marry, so I should just start taking care of someone's future wife Due to the issues she's passing thru she may not be able to pay back.
so guys what's your advice in this? what's the extent of help u can give a platonic friend?
Had it been u were in my shoes would you lease out such amount of money to a platonic friend without refund

cc ubunja truthsbitter luvyaself95 dairrykid

The only thing I can tell you is that NO ONE KNOWS TOMORROW. Weather she refunds you or not as long as your mind tells you to do that good then do it.

She could be off help to you too someday.

@Rezie,
If you are the girl that was discussing business with this guy then please avoid him very well, he wants to take advantage of you. If you are not the person then warn his friends offline and show them this post.

Hopeless lazy men everywhere.
They whine and complain about how women are golddiggers and materialistic but they secretly want to do the exact same things women do. Even worse in many cases.

go back to that my topic and read it again but this time very slowly so you'll observed that I said I myself I'm not interested in dating or in any relationship of any kind with her or with any other female as academics is my only priority as dating or engaging on relationship or those stuff may dampen my success.
I only sought for advice to see if it's tenable to give such amount of money to a platonic friend as I myself won't ask for favours from her.
read it well and understand well before u come back and start ranting.

Look at him fumbling and looking for excuses after his evil plan was exposed

Only you said the girl is disturbing you all over with calls and WhatsApp
Only you said you want to gain financially from her and cash out more than coochie

So you wanted to just grab coochie and 'cash out' until your mentor ubunja said its good to also use women financially so you changed gears and said you want to also gain financially from her.

God don expose you and saved that poor girl from your plans. You no get conscience? Somebody lost her dad and is trying to survive on her own in a harsh economy instead of thinking of how to help her you are looking for tips on how to cash out both coochie and money.

Helping someone shouldn't come with a price tag. My mum is altruistic to the point of denying herself a lot of things just to help others.

At University, a schoolmate told me of a coursesmate who was pushing barrow in Lagos to pay fees. I went and reported to my mum and asked if she could help. She took over his school fees for year three and four. I sometimes helped him with some small cash for feeding. We were not friends and hardly stayed in the same circle. He dedicated his project to her. I've not met him again but everytime I remember him, I pray that life favours him, I've never ever considered payback or gratitude. My mum too asks of him and prays for him to succeed.

That is why we are on Earth. To be a positive force of change. That girl may not reward you tomorrow, but any act of kindness gets stored up for you or your posterity.

Has happened several times to me but I'm not daunted. Ultimately, I'm the one who gains because I definitely reap good from the act of helping. Bad experiences almost made me stop, but this year, that was my direct message to help people and I'm not regretting. I don't have much but from my small strength I do what I can.

So don't stop, always understand that those you help ultimately turn round to hurt you, in most cases but preparing your mind ahead helps you overlook.

Also, understand that helping with wisdom is better, good people who die don't exercise wisdom.
