Fashion designer and influencer Veekee James has expressed shock after receiving an unexpected request from a social media user asking for ₦2,000,000 to cover school fees.
In a candid reaction, Veekee questioned how she may have presented herself to attract such a demand, emphasizing her own personal responsibilities and background.
“There’s something wrong somewhere. In what way have I portrayed myself to make somebody think they can randomly ask me to help with ₦2,000,000 for school fees? I’m a struggling fatherless child who now has a child,” she said.
She added that while she occasionally supports people financially within her capacity, the scale of the request left her stunned.
“Normally, what I see is, ‘Help me with ₦20k, ₦50k, ₦100k.’ I still dey say, ‘Okay, okay,’ the one wey I fit help, I help. ₦2,000,000 for school fees? Which school you dey go?” she added.
Her reaction has sparked conversations online about boundaries, entitlement, and the growing trend of people making large financial requests from public figures.
Many social media users have since weighed in, with some supporting her stance on setting limits, while others highlighted the economic realities pushing individuals to seek help in unconventional ways.
