A young Nigerian lady has gone viral on social media after recounting an experience involving her sister's friend based in the United Kingdom. The lady, who posted under the handle @AweniOnibata, revealed how her sister reacted angrily when she learned that her UK-based friend had sent a meager sum of money to her younger sibling.
Lady Recalls Receiving N5,000 From Sister's UK Friend
According to the post, the incident occurred several years ago when the lady was in her second year (200 level) at the university. She received a sum of N5,000 from her sister's friend living in the UK. Excited about the gift, she immediately called her elder sister to share the news.
However, her sister's reaction was far from what she expected. Instead of being happy, the elder sister became furious and immediately called her friend, warning her never to send such a 'ridiculous' amount again. The lady wrote: 'I can never forget the day my sister's friend in the UK sent me 5k. I was in 200L at the time, so I called my sister excitedly and told her her friend had given me money. My sister called her friend and told her never to give me that ridiculous amount of money again. She even went as far as asking her what that would get a student that is in school.'
Years Later, Same Friend Sends N150,000
In a twist, the lady revealed that the same UK-based friend gifted her again this year, but this time the amount was significantly larger: N150,000. She admitted that she decided not to inform her sister about this second gift, saying: 'That same person gifted me this year and it was 150k, but I no tell my sister sha.'
The story has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with many users weighing in on the situation. Some speculated that the friend might be a man with ulterior motives, while others criticized the lady for not telling her sister about the larger gift.
