“Never lend anyone a sum of money that you can’t forgo” Anonymous
Whoever came up with that quote is a genius.
Debtors who have the means to pay back their loans but shy from it are the second biggest problem in Nigeria.
My First Reason
My routine automatically distorts whenever I have a debtor(s)
During my personal morning devotion, I have to schedule at least two minutes of my time to pray for my debtor(s). Not a prayer of punishment but for God to provide for them and keep them alive so I could get my money. You feel my pain?
Once someone lapse in paying me my debt, everything the person does exception of breathing becomes annoying. As much as I dislike debtors, I can’t wish them ill luck. If my debtor dies, I might spend months mourning
While I pray for long life for my debtor, I never forget to wish same for me. What if I die without getting my money ? My restless ghost might linger on earth from banks to banks. My debtor might even use the money she is owing me to throw a funeral after party.

Second Reason
Whenever my sms beeps, there’s that mini heart attack while I fervently wish its a credit alert. The longer my debtors defaults, the higher my chances of developing hypertension.
Fact: debtors are the second major causes of hypertension on earth.
How do all know all these things? I have been a victim of defaulting debtors severally.
Last year, someone owed me money and when I called for my money, her sister picked up the phone to inform me she took ill.
Na so!
There was no time to take chances. What if she dies before I get to the hospital or in worse case scenario, she dies in my arms while her debt is still outstanding? I heard that scenario is really painful.
Armed with 20litres of glucose, I stormed her hospital.
Homegirl was shocked to see me. She frowned at the doctor when he informed me she was diagnosed with a mere stomach ache.
Imagine! Like we both didn’t know the genesis of her illness.
I cracked the driest of my jokes with her and she busted into an uncontrollable laughter.You see why I dislike debtors? Hypocrites! This is a girl that hardly smiles but she forced herself to laugh just to please me. Luckily, I got my money a few days after she was discharged. Recently, there was a particular friend of mine that owed me a huge sum of money. As soon as her loan was due for repayment, she stopped changing her BBM display picture (debtors do that a lot). She updated her PM with the sick emotion icon. Each time I got tempted to start up a chat with her, that peaceful voice told me, ‘Leave her, its not easy to be a debtor and manage a sickness
She didn’t stop at that, she stopped picking my calls.
I tell you guys, humans are wicked!
Trust your Naijasinglegirl. I knew where to find her. I powered on my laptop and there was my girl on Instagram fighting for likes.

| she got me staring at my lappy like #insta na wa o |
The first happy photo I saw of her came with the following hash tags- #Instaprettygirlsrock #instabrownskingirlskillingit #instabadgirl #happyme #strawcurls
Believe it or not, I was #insta surprised.
I was like #instawaitaminute #instaareyoukiddingme? #instaseemeseewahala #instawhereismymoney? #insta where did you get this money to buy all this fine fine clothes?
After all said and done, whenever someone owes me money,
1. The person automatically becomes ugly at default. Idk! Wake up in MAC, eat Loreal for breakfast. Dine in Tara. You ugly till I get paid.
2. The person has no right to get IG likes. Whoever likes the photo of my creditor is my enemy.
3. The person has no right to die without paying me. Its an error.
4. The person has no right to be happy or be associated with anything tagged as happiness.
5. The person has no right TO GET MARRIED BEFORE ME. Why? Cos my name is Naijasinglegirl and I dislike creditors.
