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?

Anonymous said...

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.

Y do u ask stupid question dis days?

Anonymous said...

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
