A UK-based man is faced with backlash after being called out for allegedly sending N30,000 to support his brother’s wedding.

The situation was brought to light by a user, @thobyiano, who shared his disappointment on X (formerly Twitter).

According to Toby, a substantial amount was expected in terms of donation from him particularly because of his country of residency.

In the post, @thobyiano wrote, “How can you be in the UK, and your blood brother is getting married, and all you could send him was 30k? Nobody is being entitled here, but that doesn’t make any sense.

“So, because nobody owes you anything, that’s the reason you’ll send your sibling 30k for his wedding. Na una sabi.”

The tweet sparked a heated debate, with opinions split among users. While some agreed with the sentiment, criticizing the man for what they deemed an insufficient contribution, others defended him, arguing that the amount of financial support one gives should depend on personal capacity and willingness.

A social media user @BecomingDami wrote, “fall in love or get someone pregnant; fix date for wedding; send account number to people for aso-ebi telling them that’s the last one, and they need to act fast. budget: 10M>
plan: people will send me money. .”

Another user @GeeKinqest__ added, “The truth is, according to the poster, the sibling abroad is financially well-off. There’s no reason to send your own brother that kinda money for a wedding unless, of course, it’s some form of payback for a wrong they’ve done to you, & you’re deliberately trying to embarrass him.”
