All these your epistle for your small change o. The family is poor, the family is poor...na wa!

So you are not buying the ticket? Stingy boy!


All this epistle to make sure I got it right...and I am confident I did. They are poor, but so am I. I began wanting to wire them N8,000! Thanks to posters advice... it has risen to N17,000...so I am glad I took the time to do all this "epistle".

Maybe you have a very rich husband that spoils you and cares for your every want and need...and you have forgotten the value of money and kindness tongue

I would love to buy the tickets...but only for someone that has a good heart, who can appreciate kindness, who isn't greedy and money focused. Sadly, from your post, I gather you are not that someone wink O dabo my friend

Re: How Many Naira Would Be A Good 'gift' For A Nigerian Friend? by Nobody: 11:01pm On Sep 26, 2013
Awwwwww. That was so kind of you. Thank you Oyibo! grin. I really don't care how much you sent, it's the thought that matters. Its a gift, they didn't work for it, so it should be well appreciated. kiss

However, know that 17k is not a lot of money to most Nigerians. I guess you met the lower class Nigerians when u came, since you said you stayed in one of the very remote areas. That is where most of the lower class are found. It's good you sought for advice here. That you initial 8k would have been too "wicked". cheesy

Awesome. Thank you for the honest reply. I am not hugely rich! But I can probably afford to give N 10,000 max. It is a special occasion...and I have made it clear to them that this is why I am giving it.

They already know my plans, but not the amount. I just didn't want them to get their hopes up...thinking I was going to give them N 1 million or something!!!!!

But N 8,000-N 10,000 feels about right...I just hope they like it and are not disappointed.

Is $ 50 a lot to most Nigerians?
Ma guy 50 dollars is cheap. If u want to give them something, then give them something. Don't come here and insult them, while insulting urself.

I didn't give them $50, I gave them just over $100, not that it is any of your business. Besides brother...how many of your friends have you given a $100 gift to recently? undecided

If you are going to make comments, then at least have the correct facts. Don't come here and insult me, while insulting urself...abi? wink

Have a nice day my friend smiley

Naaaah, Nigerians are very open-minded people. Antagonism is everywhere on this forum. Infact, you got very little of it. Open the other threads and see the real definition of antagonism.

Like I said, what you did was so thoughtful and kind. Kudos.

True, true. I am sure there are many people in poverty around the world. I just happened to stay in Nigeria with a specific Yoruba family who appeared poorer than the circumstances that I am used to in the west. I was talking about a specific family, I was not generalizing.

I never meant to suggest that all Nigerians were poor. I apologize if I implied that.
