It is not clear if Olajide lives abroad, but he said his friend quickly converted the money which was £25.

Olajide said:

"A certain friend is getting married soon. So I asked him to give me his bank details so I can send him ₦50,000 (R588) to get a wedding gift since I will unfortunately not be able to attend his wedding.

"While we were still talking, baba said so na £25 you go give me for wedding gift. I was confused and perplexed at the same time. He has already converted the 50k to GBP and felt he deserves more than the pound equivalent. I don't have energy for back and forth, I just told him make he no vex. I'm surely not sending him any dime again, I'll put my 50k to a more noble cause."
