NYSC Corper Gifts Her First ₦77,000 Allowance to Dad, Who Takes 10% and Showers Her with Prayers


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHgfPpU5ptw?si=F9WJv_P4MAZUOXD5

In a touching display of family love and tradition that has captured the hearts of many online, a young National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member presented her first monthly allowance to her father. The video, which has been making rounds on social media, shows the corper handing over the full ₦77,000 she received, only for her dad to deduct 10%—that's ₦7,700—and return the rest while offering fervent prayers for her success and well-being.

The clip, originally shared on TikTok by user @arogundadeadeawa and later reposted across platforms like X (formerly Twitter), depicts the duo sitting outdoors on plastic chairs. The young woman, dressed in her crisp NYSC uniform—white shirt with green accents and khaki trousers—smiles shyly as she hands over a bundle of cash. Her father, a stout man in casual attire, carefully counts the notes, sets aside his share, and then places his hands on her head in a heartfelt blessing.

"My daughter brought her first NYSC salary to me today... ojuje omo ni," reads the overlaid text in the video, a Yoruba phrase that loosely translates to appreciating the fruits of one's labor through their children. As he prays, his words echo themes of prosperity, protection, and divine favor, leaving viewers with a warm sense of familial bond in these trying economic times.

This gesture resonates deeply in Nigerian culture, where honoring parents with one's "first fruits"—be it from a new job, harvest, or in this case, national service allowance—is seen as a sign of respect and gratitude. NYSC allowances, recently increased to ₦77,000 following government adjustments amid inflation, are often a corper's first taste of financial independence. Yet, for many, sharing it with family underscores the communal values that define Nigerian society.

Social media users have reacted overwhelmingly positively. One X user commented, "Well, Daddy took 10% prayed for her and gave her the rest," sparking discussions on whether this is a "smart move" or simply a beautiful tradition. Another post described it as "a touching moment as a Lady gifted her first NYSC allowance of ₦77,000 to her father as her first fruit," noting how he returned most of it after his prayers. The video has garnered thousands of likes, reposts, and views, with many sharing their own stories of similar family rituals.

In a country where economic hardships often strain relationships, moments like these remind us of the enduring power of love and prayer. As one viewer put it, "He honestly needed the money. Cus the way he prayed over it and smiled made my day." It's a simple act, but one that highlights the sacrifices parents make and the joy of giving back.

Who set up the camera?
Let's just say they're acting out a scene.

Beta pikin!



The fuuulish ones would prefer to give it to their pastor.

Same with me...

And it has brought blessings

Omo Yoruba with respect, beautiful culture and traditions

This is wise of her
Kudos to her

That's commendable, I hope she has what to eat and manage before another alaweee date

Better than giving to one fake pastor

Most people don’t know the highest spiritual authority over their lives after God is their parent. Many folks honor their Pastors more than they honor their parents which isn’t good.

No matter how noble an intention or gesture may be, once it is on social media, the intent no longer appears genuine.

It's in order to give your 1st income to your father who laboured to bring you up to the status of an income earner.

While growing up we had orange & some other fruit trees in the compound.
The 1st time they fruited, we were so excited & happy to gather some of the fruits in a basket & take to church. &were later auctioned in the church.
That's the idea behind 1st fruit.

Today it has been misconstrued to be your January salary.
Of course you are free to generously support your local church financially as God has blessed you.

Good gesture
Even though we know the father will give 5 times more than that later

Well trained beauty inside out

Regardless, there is lesson in it

It is all the same. Do which ever you believe in.

I thought many people use to say that pastors are the rightful owners of the first salary?

Has it been changed already please?

Just pray and hope you have resources enough to give your children financial security when the time comes and let them be wise to realize what you did for them
