A man from the UK is receiving criticism after being accused of sending N30,000 to help pay for his brother’s wedding.
A user on X (formerly Twitter) named @thobyiano exposed the situation by expressing his disappointment.
According to Toby, a significant donation was anticipated from him, especially given his nation of residence.
In the post, @thobyiano wrote, “How can you be in the UK, and your blood brother is getting married, and all you could send him was 30k? Nobody is being entitled here, but that doesn’t make any sense.
“So, because nobody owes you anything, that’s the reason you’ll send your sibling 30k for his wedding. Na una sabi.”
Users had differing opinions after the tweet triggered a contentious debate. Some echoed the sentiment, condemning the man for what they saw as his inadequate contribution, while others stood up for him, making the case that one’s willingness and ability should determine how much financial support one provides.
A social media user @BecomingDami wrote, “fall in love or get someone pregnant; fix date for wedding; send account number to people for aso-ebi telling them that’s the last one, and they need to act fast. budget: 10M>
plan: people will send me money. 🤡.”
Another user @GeeKinqest__ added, “The truth is, according to the poster, the sibling abroad is financially well-off. There’s no reason to send your own brother that kinda money for a wedding unless, of course, it’s some form of payback for a wrong they’ve done to you, & you’re deliberately trying to embarrass him.”
