“If I start to share the money like that, guys, it will finish. Imagine someone was begging me for $35, 000. That is how much in naira? Approximately 20-something million. Another one asked me for $12, 000 that he wants to open a shop.

“The problem is that it is not just Nigerians. You guys have made it look like we have this money packed somewhere. Like it is a must that we cater for your needs; No! It is not a must. This economic crunch is biting everybody.” (sic)
