A Nigerian man said a friend who was getting married downgraded the money he gave him to buy a gift.
The man, Olajide Obe, narrated the story on X, sharing how his friend insinuated that the money was too small.
Olajide said he called his friend and asked for his account number so he could send him N50,000.
It is not clear if Olajide lives abroad, but he said his friend quickly converted the N50,000 which was £25.
Olajide said:
"A certain friend is getting married soon. So I asked him to give me his bank details so I can send him ₦50,000 to get a wedding gift since I will unfortunately not be able to attend his wedding.
"While we were still talking, baba said so na £25 you go give me for wedding gift. I was confused and perplexed at the same time. He has already converted the 50k to GBP and felt he deserves more than the pound equivalent. I don't have energy for back and forth, I just told him make he no vex. I'm surely not sending him any dime again, I'll put my 50k to a more noble cause."
Meanwhile, an X user asked Olajide for the money to assist a sick friend who needed surgery, and he transferred the money to them.
