Nigerian social media influencer and podcaster, Lydia Balogun, has recently sparked reactions on social media with her response to receiving a N10k cash gift from a man. During a recent episode of the popular podcast 'Rants, Bants, and Confessions,' Lydia, along with Maliya Michael and Caramel Plugg, expressed their criticism towards men who make grand promises of spoiling women with money but end up giving small amounts like N10k or N5k. Lydia shared her own personal experience of receiving N10k from a man and stated that men should refrain from trying to impress women with money they don't actually possess. Maliya, on the other hand, mentioned that she would sever ties with any man who sends her such a small amount. Caramel Plugg interjected by highlighting that N10,000 could mean a lot to some individuals, to which Lydia responded by stating that she is not in a position of need and suggested giving the money to someone on the street or a beggar instead. She said, "Give it to somebody on the street, am I on the street? Give it to a beggar." The discussions surrounding this topic have ignited a heated debate about gratitude and expectations on social media. One Instagram user expressed their opinion by writing, "Anybody who makes money knows that another person parting with their sweat deserves gratitude." Another user added, "Lmao social media is a very funny place... I just wish some people have the privilege to meet some of these people in real life... then you'll understand... I won't say much."
