A young lady identified as Anita sparked mixed reactions on Twitter as she condemned a man's gesture of intending to spoil his girlfriend with a cash gift of N10K. Anita took to the platform to express her disapproval of using the word 'spoil' while sending such a small amount of money. She wrote, "I'll spoil you with 10K? Lmfao," in a now-deleted tweet.
In response, a male user named Kan expressed his alarm towards Anita's ingratitude towards such a gesture. Kan opted to send the same amount to his mother, who he believed would appreciate the money more than his girlfriend.
However, a female entrepreneur named Ore Akinde belittled Kan's opinion, insisting that N10K is a ridiculous amount in Nigeria's current economy. She argued that the word 'spoil' is unwarranted in such a context and suggested that the man should have said, "please help me manage this 10k" or simply send it home instead of having a "big man attitude."
Ore's opinion sparked further debate on the appropriateness of the term 'spoil' when giving a relatively small amount of money as a gift. Some users agreed with her, stating that N10K is not enough to spoil anyone, while others argued that the intention behind the gesture is more important than the amount.
Overall, the conversation highlights the varying perspectives towards gift-giving and the language used when doing so, particularly in the context of Nigeria's current economic situation.
