Victor Osimhen: “I used to send money to one of my childhood friends, but one day, he told me about a business he wants to start and needed financial support.

I sent him €5k(8M naira) but he didn’t appreciate it and even told me he read on the news that I earned 1 million euros every week, and he was expecting like €50k to start up this business I was so mad that I wanted to reverse the transaction, but I couldn’t.

That money €5k can only buy a pair of shoes in Europe, but in Nigeria, it’s a lot of money. Nobody sent me 1 dollar before I came to Europe, I hustle day and night, and I sold bottled water on the street. People should learn to appreciate whatever they get as gifts, not have this sense of entitlement. “
