Singer Madrina, formerly known as Cynthia Morgan, recently shared on her Instagram story that rapper Olamide once gave her a very generous gift of ₦1 million. She also said she stopped talking to a friend because that friend didn’t seem to think the gift was a big deal.
“I told someone that Olamide sent me a million naira some months ago and the guy said that I shouldn’t put it out there because the money is too small. I had to stop talking to that guy because I no understand (although it was never my intention to put it out here), but that statement almost made me post it immediately,” her post read.
Full of gratitude, she added, “One million naira wey my own tribesmen loan me, insult me join. Abeg o, Olamide thank you!”
Madrina’s post blew up on Instagram! People left all kinds of comments, with many stressing how important it is to be grateful for what you get. Others even used the comments section to thank Olamide for his generosity.
One Instagram user commented, “Cultivating a mindset of gratitude is paramount. Regardless of the material wealth possessed by those who offer us something, entitlement to another person’s wealth is a horrible trait and must be dispelled. Understanding that every gift, whether large or small, is a gesture of generosity rather than an obligation.”
Another person commented, “Baddo is constantly helping people without making noise about it….a king.” “Entitlement these days is appalling 😢😢😢 1m is small?? Una dey see money o?” said another.
