A person from Kenya has posted messages indicating that someone they just met a couple of weeks ago is now requesting financial assistance, claiming the funds will be used for business purposes.

In the first of a series of messages shared on Facebook, the man only identified as Muhanji shared he had landed a huge contract and he urgently needed money to kickstart it.
“Good morning, my queen! How did your night go? Unfortunately, mine wasn’t very good—I’ve been quite stressed. Could you please borrow some money from our group savings? I promise to repay you by the 6th. Please help as much as you’re able,” he requested.
“God, who observes in private, will grant you public recognition. Peace be with you, and remember that my love for you is profound,” she concluded.
How did the woman respond when given cash?
In a different conversation, the man went on to say that the woman was his queen and treasure, and they would achieve great things together.
I’m not sure about that equipment; things might turn out worse, and I could end up losing it to someone else. Could you ask your sister to loan you KES 10,000 so I can pay you back definitely by the 6th? You’re wise enough to understand how to speak to her persuasively.
“I’ve reached out to everyone I believe might assist me, but without success; I urgently require your support, my dear. Please exert every effort within your means. I am extremely stressed and cannot even eat,” he stated.
Even though he kept sending messages, the man received no response from ‘his queen.’ In his final text, he disclosed that he had handed over some possessions to the payday lender and would reclaim them all along with additional fees later on.
“I currently have a balance of KSh 2000. Please do your best to secure the funds, and I assure you that I will repay you by this coming Saturday without exception. Kindly make an effort to salvage this agreement,” she said additionally.
Reactions to the story:
Roy Kadima:
This describes a person who exhibits warning signs from the start—a tendency towards emotional manipulation, financial dependency, and leveraging affection for monetary gain. A truly grown-up individual gradually earns trust, maintains independence, and does not place an immediate strain on someone they’ve newly encountered. Healthy relationships ought to center around authentic bonding rather than exerting financial influence.
Judith Oketch:
Ha ha Mr. All-seeing Deity will reward you publicly for your private actions. You might want to reconsider though.
Terry Nyar Holly:
Give it everything you can with your strength; whatever you can manage, go ahead…yeah……push forward as much as possible before time runs out, let’s move swiftly….don’t lag behind as we progress towards our significant objective now, come on.

Monica Awiti:
It sounds like someone I’m familiar with, Lakini boldly stepped out Dagi’s place on the same day and was actively searching for money. Scared of people.
Joy Calvins:
Sylock, the Luo expression for someone who is always asking for help yet simultaneously writing lengthy paragraphs. How does one manage to seek assistance and read through all that content at the same time? A big red flag indeed.
