According to Bawalicious on Facebook, his friend promised to pay back by May but failed to do so and shifted it to June.

In June, his friend still didn't keep to his promise. Bawalicious said he experienced financial constraints and reached out to his friend to give him at least N50k, but he claimed he did not have money.

Bawalicious said despite his friend's claim, he found out he lodged in a hotel with a lady and was blocked when he confronted his married pal. His post on Facebook read in part:

"Since January, I loaned a friend ₦150,000 because his wife was going to deliver through cesarean section (CS) and he was struggling financially. He claimed he hadn't expected the CS delivery. "I gave him the money out of love for our friendship, not because I had much, but because my friend was having a baby and my conscience wouldn't allow me to rest if I hadn't helped."I didn't disturb him for repayment, even though he promised to pay by May, which he failed to do. We went out on the morning of my birthday, May 25th, and he promised to pay by June. I told him no problem."June came and I heard nothing from him. Instead, he was busy posting about the gifts he bought for his woman while still owing me. "In August, I faced serious financial issues, even losing my iPhone 13 and other valuables."Desperate for money, I reached out to SKG, requesting just ₦50,000 from my money, but he claimed he had no money. Yet, that same night, he lodged at Epitome Hotel with an OS and our friends sent me pictures."Confronting him with the evidence and I threatened to show his woman. He got upset, blocked me, and our mutual friends..."

He chatted his married friend on WhatsApp and got shocking responses. He posted their chats online.

"One of the greatest lessons I learnt from my mum is not to borrow someone the amount of money I know I'm not capable of giving, People can't be predictable, I have never been in this position because I always use my mum strategy, if u want to borrow 10k from me and i know that I'm not capable of giving u the 10k, if it is 2k that i can afford to give I will just borrow u the 2k. "If u pay it back fine and if u refuse it will just make me know that u can't pay back huge some of money. I'm sorry this happening to u."
