A Nigerian woman has sparked reactions online after sharing how her female colleague allegedly borrowed ₦350,000 from OPay to refund a male co-worker who had been buying her lunch for months before she turned down his romantic advances.
In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), the narrator explained that the male colleague had been paying for the woman’s daily lunch, which reportedly cost ₦3,000, since August.
However, after she rejected his romantic advances, the man reportedly stopped paying for her meals, leading to an unexpected confrontation between them.
Disagreement Over Lunch Payment
According to the narrator, the situation escalated when a food seller informed the man that the day’s bill was ₦8,000 because his female colleague had requested extra meat.
The man reportedly declined to cover her bill, insisting that he would only pay for his own meal.
Recounting their exchange, the narrator shared the conversation:
“Sir, your bill is ₦8,000 today. Miss … asked me to add extra meat.”
“No, she will be paying for her food. I’ll send my own ₦3,000.”
“Because of the ₦3,000 food you always pay for me, calculate the money sef! Nonsense!”
The narrator explained that the woman became angry and challenged her male colleague to calculate the total amount he had spent buying her meals.
The man reportedly added up the payments he had made since August and arrived at ₦312,000.
Following the disagreement, the female colleague allegedly transferred ₦350,000 to him before they left the office.
She Later Requests ₦20,000
However, the story took another unexpected turn the following morning when the same woman reportedly sent the narrator a message around 6 a.m., asking to borrow ₦20,000 to help her manage the rest of the month.
She allegedly explained that she had borrowed the ₦350,000 from OPay to repay the male colleague.
The account has sparked conversations about financial boundaries, romantic expectations and the complications that can arise when workplace relationships involve money and acts of generosity.
