Question of the day: Would you ask for your money back?

Here's the question - If you donate N1million to the family of a very ill person who needs urgent surgery (the money is to pay for the surgery) and a few hours after you make the transfer, you learn that the ill person has passed away, would you ask for your money back?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Nooo..I don't think so...but if the family make any attempt to refund..omo I go collect am..I tried God knows

    ReplyDelete
  27. Of course, i will...since the aim of transfering the money had been defeated.

    ReplyDelete
  28. The money was for surgery, ain't no surgery done on a dead person. The family should be wise enough to return d money else I will ask for it ooo #JayBeyBlu

    ReplyDelete
  29. of cause no...but this story reminds me of this..>>>> click here to see for yourself.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes of course, I will definitely ask for my money back.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wait o linda! U are taking dis personal! Y is it dat u dnt lyk posting ma comment? Abi anoda tin ffg?!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Since the money is meant for the ill person to undergo a surgical process of which later the person passed on without the operation; the best thing to do is to account for the money collected so far. Then inform those that donated the money for record purpose and remittances as the case may be as opinionated by individual to determine.

    ReplyDelete
  33. 1million #yepa.............i will collect the money with style.......

    ReplyDelete
  34. Y do u ask stupid question dis days?

    ReplyDelete
  35. NO!! if i can afford to give out 1 million Naira, then i can afford to let that money go. That someone is able to give away that amount of money, it means the person can afford to live without it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Naaaaaa, gone is gone,i'll just let it go...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Naaaaaa, gone is gone,i'll just let it go...

    ReplyDelete
  38. Dis kind question sef ni..bt dis moni too big 2 leave ooooo bt how person go do na ? U don already give out d moni...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Why should I ask for a refund? It doesn't make any sense. Since the purpose for giving out d money has been defeated,deRes no big deal. God is still gonna reward you.

    ReplyDelete
  40. hmmmm,hard one.for me,i ll leav d muny cos d family just lost a dear one and it ll b against good morals and my conscience to do so.and besides being able to gv dem d muny witawt any hope or agreemnt dat dey pay back,i shud b abl to overlook d muny afterall dey are family.ma take though.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I will ask for my money back before it cause a big problem in the family**Raregem*

    ReplyDelete
  42. I wil nt take it back, bcos i neva donated d money 4 me 2 take it back whether life or death.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Not at all....it will be used for the burial

    ReplyDelete
  44. If the person have kids.. i will make sure my money is put in a trust fund account for the kids.. ***Fizzy***

    ReplyDelete
  45. I wil ask for my money to test d family if dey wil return or refuse bt if they eventually return it I wil nt collect it cuz I giv it to dem in d first place bcuz I can afford it bt some family can be funny wen it comes to money don't be surprise some family wil refuse to return ur money.

    ReplyDelete
  46. iF I find myself in dat situation i wouldn't ask 4 my money back!cos av already given it out..!#doctorbobby

    ReplyDelete
  47. You've given/donated the money, your job is done, its a gift and you shouldnt be bothered about how it's spent.....you donate/tithe money in church, the pastor buys a mansion/luxury car/designer clothes/jewelry/private jet, etc, do you ask for your money back?

    ReplyDelete
  48. I alredi donated it na.....wud nt ask 4 it o.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  60. The family members should later on return the money....and if they don't! Ah, me I'll ask oh! Awkward yea, but its a million

    ReplyDelete
  61. U've already answered the question Linda. Its a "donation". You don't ask for a donation back

    ReplyDelete
  62. Nah, since I had already made up my mind to part with that sum, I'll just assume its not mine anymore..it'll be too embarrassing to ask sef.

    ReplyDelete
  63. They sppse know sey they should refund the money naa. Afterall no be bcos of burial u donate am in d first place.

    Shyla

    ReplyDelete
  64. No i won't ask 4 my money back cos for me 2 av donated such amount, i av sumthing left.I'll jst let go

    ReplyDelete
  65. Nope,when I Decide to giv someone something,frm that Moment. Of decision,I belongs to that person,If I give someone something I don't what happens,it belongs to the person.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Sharply... Or mayb it will b used 4 d burial preparation.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It's not wrong to ask for the money o,cos in that case 'who Don die,don go be dat'!
    At least u can use it to save another dying life before it's too late rather than leave it for the deceased family to embezzle!..did I say embezzle? Yes (only dat dey are not govt)lol but dats exactly what dey will do to dat money in the name of giving him a befitting burial.

    ReplyDelete
  68. if the person died before the surgery then yes but,

    if the person died after the surgery was performed...then still yes, money is not free in this world.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  81. Hmmm,i won't request it back if i've planed to dash dem initially bt of course dey ll ave 2 return my money if dey borrowed it

    ReplyDelete
  82. Lol! U can't na. That would be heartless. I think you should rephrase the question tho. What if you donated the money and a pastor came to pray for the ill person and the illness disappeared?? Would you ask for your money back?

    ReplyDelete
  83. Difficult!
    I fink I'll ask for d money back if I had to gather d money
    Buh if am like my uncle dangote,I won't.

    ReplyDelete
  84. If I am loaded enough to donate 1 million Naira then I shouldn't feel the need to ask for it back. However I feel it is ethical for the family of the deceased to offer me the money back.

    Dee dee

    ReplyDelete
  85. Yes I wld,I hav to be sincere,I wld tel dem hw sorry I am abt d demise,bt dat since the reason behind d cash has been defeated,it wld be nyc if they wire bak my cash to my account....can't lie linda

    ReplyDelete
  89. Yes oooo, sharp sharp!!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. I won't,bt I wld really feel bad,and regret why I wasn't delayed by sumtyn,cos if I was,he wld hav died and I wld hav kept my money.mak nobody curse me,am jst bein truthful

    ReplyDelete
  91. Hahahaha,nnaeeee dis question hard ooo,bt once u hv given out,u hv given out,so no asking 4 me

    ReplyDelete
  92. Not at all. The family will need the money. At least, 4 a befitting burial n needs aftermath.

    ReplyDelete
  93. Nope, I will not! Its the same thing donating and the person still dies later on! So i will just let it be!

    ReplyDelete
  94. I swear down,I would ask for my money back and later give them something for funeral arrangement

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  119. I won't collect de money back cus the family still need so I won't cus if am rich enough to have dem de money I will just leave it so

    ReplyDelete
  120. No,I wouldn't take it back,cos is obvious the family didn't have enough before I made the donation.And u don't take back what u gave out freely.

    ReplyDelete
  121. hmmmmm! tough one!!!! if I drained my account to help in the donation. ..YES, I will ask for it back few weeks after the person burial.

    ReplyDelete
  122. For me to av given out 1mil means I av enuf already. In case sumtin lik dis apns, I ll just let go. Dey ll nid d money more dan I ll anyway nd askin for d money bck ll make me a very insensitive person. I ll just let go cos I av already let d money out so no point askin bck.

    ReplyDelete
  128. no i wouldnt , i would only ask bak for it if i wasnt really really dropping it from my heart

    ReplyDelete
  129. I would expect them to return the money! It's that simple! The money isn't for funeral proceedings or to support the family. It should be up to me to decide if they can have the money or not!#simple

    ReplyDelete
  130. I will sharply ask for my money .

    ReplyDelete
  131. Haba.....y now? Dats Y it's called sacrifice. I won't ask for the money. #datsall#

  137. Ogbeni, God has spoken! No disrespect, but, I gats get ma money back! It can't serve the purpose for which I gave it!

    ReplyDelete
  138. If they dont offer then no

    ReplyDelete
  139. Of course I would collect my money. There's a reason why I gave them the money in the first place and since the person had died before they could use the money for what I inteded it should be used for then I shouldn't even have to ask before they offer to give me back. That's if I don't have plenty moni oh. But in the case where I have hundreds of millions, I would certainly not have to collect it back.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I will collect my money oooh

  150. Yes money back. Because it was for the person, not for the family. Unless I know it will go to their kids or surviving spouse and genitors. I will not let my money just go into anybody's hand like that.

  155. The TRUTH is, those who're saying they'll collect d money back are either stingy, calous, atheists, or poverty stricken_ it takes one who knows wot it means to give to note dat it's wrong to collect back, it's like helping a blind man cross the road and midway taking him back to where u met him, its quite cruel_ a true giver never get enticed abt wot use his gift is for_ #MrStarQuake

    ReplyDelete
  156. I wont ask bt if dey gimme,i will gladly collect my money back

    ReplyDelete
  157. Ya all that will ask back are so irrational and wicked..that means it wasn't straight from ur heart that Ɣ☺ΰ gave d money at first..♍‎‎ε̲̣̣̣̥h̶̲̥̅̊n I tink ya all should go back to ur bibles and qurans that's if Ɣ☺ΰ do read dem at all and know more about giving FOOLS...!

    ReplyDelete
  158. for some1 to donate such an amount dt means he/she must hv had more dan enoff in his account, he can easily let go, cos it will look lyk dashing out 1 naira out of a thousand naira/ taking a cup of water in d ocean.

  159. It's charity. It's gone.
