The debate over a lady sending her boyfriend ₦10,000 because he hadn’t eaten all day has taken another turn online. While many initially praised her kindness, some users shifted the conversation toward criticism and entitlement.
One dismissive comment read: “10K for what? Is it for eba, is it for beans, is it for garri and dodo.”
The remark mocks the amount, implying it’s insufficient for feeding and downplaying the gesture entirely. Critics argue that this response misses the point: the value of the act lies in the intention to help, not the market price of food. Supporters of the lady say any support given in love shouldn’t be ridiculed, especially in a tough economy.
Others, however, claim the comment reflects real frustration about rising food costs and unrealistic praise culture online. Still, many feel turning generosity into a price comparison only discourages people from helping at all.
