It make sense that the guy won't win if he hasn't stole his girlfriend's money. The girlfriend could act as the victim because it was her money that was stolen.

But luckily, the guy had won a lot and for sure there won't be pursuing for any sue because of the act and she just wants a hefty amount of share from that win.

It's on the guy now if he'll realize the situation that he's in. Well, because of the money that he's got, that will make him think untouchable and he can just dump his girlfriend if that's his way of thinking but hopefully not.

this is a moral issue, because in terms of law the guy returned the money he took, so she shouldn't charge him more than that, because if he lost everything he would have to pay back all the money he took from her. but on the moral issue he has to give her 50% of the value he earned, that would be the best attitude of a person with character. but I keep asking myself: how did she find out he made so much money? it seems like everyone plays in nigeria and when someone wins is widely reported in the news, doesn't that put the winners at risk? if thieves find out that person X won millions, then it's easy to go and rob that person who won. in the article it says that he himself told her, but I find that very strange, because then how did it end up in the news channels?


 

How the hell can this employee be a person who doesn't think? with that amount of money he didn't even need this job anymore, he could create his own business, how old is this employee? Just reading this story makes me angry, I can't even imagine if I saw this employee, I would tell him that luck like the one he had doesn't appear twice and that he needs to take all his money to save and open a business


if he goes to court he can make the boss return all the money and if the boss doesn't have the amount the court can pledge the company in favor of the employee, but it seems to me that the employee is very dumb

I think the girl is being so greedy and selfish in this case. The man to me is a honest and gentle man because from the first story, it doesn't seem to me like the man stole the money from the girl because the money was in his house and she forgot it while going to make her hair and then he used it for a greater purpose for them both while hoping for a positive result of winning.
Firstly he didn't hide the winning from the girl, which some greedy and ungrateful men would have done and maybe for the period just get to refund the ten thousand back to her, but he told her of the winning and even the exact amount, Ghosh that is rare and even offered to pay her 5 million, this is the height of greed from the girl as the guy also told her what he Intendee doing with the money.

I really don't know why the marketers supported the boss in the second story because the Nigeria I know wouldn't let the boy even give his boss upto a million. I think the sharing formula was wrong.

Really sounds fictional eh?

You cant really believe that there are really people who would really just let these things to happen? Specially if we do talk about big amounts? Its impossible for someone to have those decisions.
It cant really be just believable that someone will really allow that their boss or gf's would really be getting some part of the winnings which is really indeed bullshit just like others been
saying on here.
If you do allow those partitioning of winning then its up to your choice but there are some decisions which are bit off or really just too much because
its not your responsibility on giving part of winnings.

On this scenario, the girlfriend has every right to demand for any percentage of the winning as the money used to gamble is hers. Also, if worst comes to worst, the girlfriend will be given almost or if not the whole winnings since the funds used was stolen and there was no confirmation between them about the bet made.


Unfortunately, for this scenario, I cannot provide any valid comment as the story seems incomplete and lack to many information on whose side to lean on. If in any case the funds used for the bet was from his salary, I don't think that the boss neither the company as well as his colleagues has any right about the winnings.

Are this two story legit or fictional? Especially the story number one because he won a very large amount only for a not so big capital. The girl demanding 40m look so fabricated as well. I think if I am the girl I will only be contented if the original money was returned on me but I really think that my boyfriend will give me some extra cash as a kind of interest for what he borrowed. Maybe he will give me 1 to 2 million dollars.

I will be happy and grateful with that amount already. Now on the second story I wouldn't abandon my training and I will gladly follow what my boss wants because he is my boss and without him, I won't ever win a huge amount like that.

The dude has serious problems with his head - he steals to gamble. So I would not be surprised by its other possible "shortcomings". By the way, I remembered about taxes - I wonder how much he has left of 100 million after paying taxes and does the girl take this into account? Maybe this can change the picture a bit.

for the first question:
if i were that guy i would still give $40 million to his girlfriend. because first the man had wrongly stole his girlfriend's money for gambling and the man could win $100 million because of the help of his girlfriend's money even though it was stealing but without the stolen money the man would not win at gambling and take home $100 million. let's just say that $40 million is an apology gift for stealing his money to gamble


for the second question:
i would prefer to leave the training and find another training. having 16 million naira is a lot of money and could find better training.
the first reason is that the student is betting using his personal money instead of his boss's money and as a boss it is inappropriate to ask to share the gambling winnings it is very stupid to look presumptuous. unless the student distributes money in class to the boss without the boss asking that's better

Taking money without telling is part of theft that can be your girlfriend or whatever. She deserves this bet money. Basically the girlfriend should take responsibility for distributing the winnings, she belongs to it. But reality shows a different picture. The girlfriend can claim she has the right. But in the 2nd story the boss has no right to ask for money.

Your girlfriend deserves the money she's asking if not for her money you would not have won that amount and she can sue you for stealing if she decides it, maybe she also needs money that is why she asked you for that significant amount of money if you really love her then give in to her request, and on the second story you are the one who bet and it is your money so you get to decide the portion that you can give to your boss not him pressure you to give in.

I think there's much to learn from OP two live story been used as an example, this is the real thing that happened and we are very fortunate to take a good cognisance of learning through it, because it's what me and you can fall a victim, not until we pass through such situations we cannot defend the level of how far we could go in relation to the two exampls made, but it's bad enough not to learn how to appreciate other fellow not to talk of giving them money, that kind of gambler that has stealing habit is detestable, his girlfriend should avoid further relationship with him, while the second story as well should look into the boss properly, he is such that is selfish and covectious, we must just believe this that live itself isn't balanced and we must be careful of the kind of people sorrounding us.

Yes, the major problems here could have been created. What would have happened if the man could not won the bet? Will he tell his girl friend about the stealing money? may be not. There may be debate about it. However, it is not worthy of taking money to gambling by stealing others money. It can break the good relation with in few seconds.

- there should be no need to tell her winnings to convince her boyfriend that the money will be returned in full, obviously his girlfriend will sue because his winnings came from the money he stole, maybe this is karma behind his winnings so there are demands that make him a dilemma
If the woman is believed to be a life partner, there is no problem granting her demands because no one is harmed, especially for the sake of the baby.
- it is better to leave the training because the Boss does not have the right to share 50% of his winnings.  If you persist, you will be more oppressed because he will be more arbitrary in every way

It probably won't work, if she marries a guy for the money they end up getting divorced anyway, but it was a joke anyway, I thought that was understandable. ) In any case, the guy's act was very bad, he stole money from his girlfriend, it destroys trust between people. This story also tells us that the guy has a gambling addiction and he plays for big money, on the basis of which we can assume that he can soon lose all the money that he managed to win. Therefore, the girl does the right thing when she demands half the money, because she understands all these problems.

Right. If it weren't for her money, he wouldn't be able to win that amount. He should at least give a considerable amount to his partner as a token of appreciation and to show gratitude. It shouldn't necessarily be 40 million, but an amount he is willing to give wholeheartedly to show he is thankful because stealing isn't right as well no matter how you put it. Asking for forgiveness and thanking for the money you "borrowed" without her knowing shouldn't be a hard thing to do if your relationship has been founded on a strong ground.

I was actually thinking is only me that sees same thing you are saying, there is no way him should share his money with boss or even with the girlfriend because if the guy didn't tell anyone I wonder who would say lets share or you must make it 50/50 as how?
So the apprentice decides whom to give or not, but as for the girlfriend he may compensate he with good money but not to share equally among themselves. Could it be a mere story you say?

Indeed. It seems fair enough because it is her money.
However, I assume it is actually negotiable and should end with a good ending even if the man refuses 40 million dollars. But the man at least gives her 20 million dollars, ideally 10 - 40 million dollars isn't too much considering all the money used for betting is her girlfriend's money. In addition, she is his girlfriend too, why it is so difficult to share that amount of money with someone that he loves? Unless the man becomes greedy, it should be not a problem.

 

Her girlfriend is right he would not have won that money, if not for her money that he steal and why would he be in a dilemma
he will still have 60 million and he keeps his girlfriend if he believes that he will settle with this girl and then give her, her share.







I will be the one to decide not the boss, he did not lend the money and he did not give me any tips on the bet I will give him a tip but not split half of my winning that's too much if he asks for a split even if he is respected in his field.

Probably, that would be the best thing to do. Never argue with your girlfriend since it’s her money after all. If she will agree with 50/50, I guess that’s good enough. Because what you have contributed is just luck, the capital is still from your girlfriend which you stole.

For the second story, if you can afford to find another training, then go for it as it’s useless to stay in a training with an undisciplined and irresponsible boss. But if you find it hard to find one, then stay with your boss but never agree with him with splitting into two your money, just give him even 1/4 of it.

These stories are both messed up and completely lack justice (I would say). In the first story, the girlfriend deserves ALL the winnings not just 40 mill due to the fact it was her stolen money. In the second story the boss deserves absolutely nothing or everything depending on who's money was used to bet. I am reading on the twitter thread a lot of people saying it was the bosses money. So that makes it a bit confusing.

I am completely leaving out cultural and social issues of different countries out of my equation because every country has a different view on whats right and wrong.

The BF who stole his GFs money is 100% a scumbag though.
