A young woman has shared an unexpected and uncomfortable moment after sending ₦400,000 to a secondary school mate in need — only to receive an awkward and startling request in return.
According to her account, she willingly transferred the significant amount to assist her friend, believing it was a genuine plea for help. However, instead of gratitude, she was met with a request that left her stunned and uneasy. When she declined, her friend reportedly responded with, “I can’t do that,” a phrase that has since gone viral on social media as people react to the bizarre exchange.
The incident has sparked widespread conversation online, with many questioning the motives behind the request and debating the boundaries of friendship and financial assistance. Some social media users have expressed sympathy for the woman, while others warn about the risks of mixing money and personal relationships.
As the story circulates, it serves as a reminder of the complexities that can arise when helping others — and the importance of clear expectations and boundaries, even among old friends.
