you wey go borrow wey nor wan pay nkor, you own person money dey buy food dey eat and dey buy cloth, some people can be comfortable when they are owing, just don't like that about some people , when you go there to borrow you beg and promise heaven and earth to rutune the money back in said time but that time will pass and end up running more than a year and you will not want to pay the money, that salves you right anyway
