Nigerian musician Asake recently shared a personal story on social media that centered around his ex-girlfriend and a wise financial decision he made early in his music career.
Asake described achieving a financial milestone in his music career. Wanting to share his success, he presented his girlfriend with a gift of 2 million naira (approximately $4,600 USD).
However, she unexpectedly declined the gift, considering it to be too small. Asake expressed surprise at her reaction, given her modest background.
Unsure how to proceed, Asake sought advice from fellow musician Olamide.
Olamide advised Asake to break up with the girlfriend and use the money to support his mother. Asake opted to follow this advice, using the funds to help his mother establish a business.
As a result of the business, Asake’s mother is now financially independent and no longer requires his financial assistance.
In his words;
“When I made my first big pay check from music, I was so happy that I shared the news with my girlfriend. I gave her full details of how much I made and the next day, I gave her 2 million naira as a gift.
To my surprise, she turned it down saying 2 Million was too small compared to how much I had made. I was abit worried coz this girl is from a humble background and I never imagined her to be like that.
I explained the situation to Olamide and he advised me to leave the girl, he also instructed me to send the 2 Million Naira to my mom.
I’m glad I did coz my mom was able to make good use of the money and open a big provision store. My mom doesn’t call me for financial issues anymore coz she’s doing just fine…”
