Social media has been recently agog with the news that the lady behind the camera in the Success viral video, Stephanie “Ofijoyce” has been crying out over being allegedly neglected by the parents of the little girl. She went further by stating that she feels she deserves one million out of the 5.5million that the family reportedly was said to have received.
Nigerians are naturally greedy when it involves money and that’s the major issue here. It is also based on a poverty mentality amongst the lower-middle class and lower class income people.

An average Nigerian wants to always be financially compensated when they do anything good. But an average person from any Western culture does not think in this way. Lots of times, when Nigerians see people on the road requiring help, most would only gather as a crowd watching, but not ready to raise a finger to help, even when they are in a good position to do so. There is a popular Nigerian adage that “nothing goes for nothing”. This type of ideology has translated itself into our character as Nigerians.
The money being gifted to the girl was for her education. On the academic level, she still has a long way to go. The money does not belong to the parents of that girl, but rather to the little girl, as the parents are only acting as her custodians, until she turns 18.


This issue is still too premature to be accusing the parents of not appreciating the lady behind the camera. Have they started spending the money themselves or the camera woman should be their most important focus that they should first give her her own “share” first? Even those Nigerian whistleblowers who are entitled to a percentage of the money, don’t get their entitlement as fast as the greedy lady is demanding. Perhaps she feels like if she does not start complaining very early that she may end up not getting the large amount of money she is expecting.
