A UK-based man has come under fire on social media after being accused of sending only N30,000 to support his brother’s wedding in Nigeria. The controversy was sparked by a post on X (formerly Twitter) by user @thobyiano, who expressed disappointment over what he deemed an inadequate gesture, especially considering the man’s residence abroad.
In his 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 post quickly gained traction, igniting a heated debate among users. Critics supported Toby’s viewpoint, arguing that as someone living abroad, the man should have made a more significant financial contribution.
However, others defended the UK-based man, pointing out that financial capacity varies and that the amount someone contributes should depend on their personal circumstances.
One commenter wrote, *“Support is not a right, and living abroad doesn’t mean unlimited resources. Maybe that’s what he could afford.”*
Another countered, *“Family is family. N30k for your brother’s wedding is embarrassing, especially if you’re earning in pounds.”*
The debate highlights the often unrealistic expectations placed on Nigerians living abroad, with many believing they are obligated to provide significant financial support for family events back home. As opinions remain divided, the discussion sheds light on the pressures of familial obligations and the complex dynamics of financial assistance within families.
