Nigerian comedian and content creator Zics Aloma has shared a personal experience after he had a disagreement with an old friend who suddenly reached out after years of no contact.
According to him, the friend he hadn’t spoken to in over two years contacted him out of the blue, not for a casual catch-up, but to ask for ₦2 million to complete rent payment. The request, he said, came as a surprise given the long silence between them.
He explained that he turned down the request because he genuinely didn’t have the money to give out at the time. Instead of understanding his response, the situation escalated quickly.
“One of my old friend that I haven’t spoken to for over two years asked me to give him 2 million to complete his house rent and I told him that I don’t have; he insulted me and blocked me.”
Zics Aloma also spoke about how he feels relationships should be balanced, noting that he often puts effort into celebrating people around him, especially during birthdays, but does not always receive the same energy back.
“You have not spoken to me for the past two years and you’re suddenly billing me. My last birthday I only got one gift from my assistant, whereas I give my friends cake, perfume and wig for their birthday. This year, energy for energy.”
His comments have since sparked conversations about friendship expectations, personal boundaries, and how people respond when financial help is not available.
