Extortion
This is very rampart among ladies. They lie in order to extort money from guys. I have a friend who lied to her boyfriend that she is pregnant and she demanded money from him for abortion.What do I do? Actually, the guy gave her the money but surely she will be caught in the act.
There is this friend of mine too that was in school before but no more in school due to some reason or the other, but she still tells people she is in school. I have advised her a lot to stop this behavior but she just won't listen.

Here you will know it's in her blood, only the grace of God can change her.

There are some certain things our lying act could stop us from achieving.
For instance;

People won't be of help to you when you have high rated yourself,whereas you know deep down you are nobody but claiming to be somebody,now tell me how do you want helpers to locate you?
Never!! Until you change the habit of yours,let people know the real you that will really take you a long way.

Stop the act of lying, it chases helpers from you!!! It won't take you anything to say the truth even the Bible says "Say the truth and let it set you free"
