Nigerian professional footballer, Asisat Oshoala, who plays as a striker for Barcelona and the Nigeria women’s national team, has cautioned people against flooding her DMs to ask for money.
The footballer used her Snapchat handle to warn individuals who inundate her inbox with excuses like their wives giving birth or wedding expenses to request money.
She wrote: “While I enjoy having fun here, there are certain things that should be common sense. I help a lot of people here, but there are situations I won’t condone or support, such as ‘MY WIFE JUST GAVE BIRTH,’ ‘I WANT TO HAVE A WEDDING,’ and so on. Use your common sense. Set your priorities right!!”
Shortly after her warning, concerned individuals took to social media to show support for her stance.
