Lady discusses her unhappy encounter with a friend she invited out, prompting concerns about what she refers to as more “transactional” relationships.
The lady revealed her experience in a video that went viral on social media.
She explained that she had recruited a buddy to accompany her on an outing in order to avoid going alone.
However, the matter took an unexpected turn when the friend allegedly requested that she cover transit fees before meeting up. She questioned the expectation, feeling uncomfortable about having to pay for her friend’s movement.
She went on to say that when she arrived at the location, the buddy allegedly ordered more food than she did, despite the fact that she had extended the offer.
The experience made her feel taken advantage of, as she compared the situation to one in which she was treated as a sponsor rather than a friend.
While acknowledging that some people are happy splitting payments, she stated that she likes to cover expenditures when inviting someone out. However, she voiced concern that similar gestures are now being abused, transforming friendships into financial responsibilities.
She stated that the event has changed her perspective, and she now prefers to go out alone rather than cope with situations she views to be unjust or exploitative.
Read what she said below;
“I will rather take a man out than taking my fellow girl out with me. Girls don dey bill girls now. Tell me why I called my friend to go out together just because i don’t want to go out alone, she first billed me for transport, like is this a transactional friendship, why am I paying your transport fare? like that wasn’t enough, when we got there she even ordered more than I the host ordered. Like I be girl o, you come dey order things wey pass me, I be like man for your eye?
You dey order everything combo. Sharwama combi, rice combo. Some girls when they go out they share bills. But I don’t like sharing bills; I look to foot the bills when I go out with my friends, but they don wan turn our friendship to transactional friendship.
I’ve learnt my lesson
See me now I’m dressed and going to the cinema and I’m going alone because I’m tired of that kind friendship”
