Actor Seun Jimoh has appealed to Nigerians with friends and family residing abroad, urging them to show understanding.
In a post on his Instagram page, he encouraged people to be considerate towards their affluent friends and family, particularly those living abroad.
Highlighting the challenges of currency exchange, with $1 equivalent to N1700, he emphasized that loved ones overseas still have to work harder to earn their income.
Jimoh cautioned against calculating the monetary value of assistance provided by loved ones in dollars, stressing that even helpers may require support themselves.
He said: “Please take it easy on your rich friends and family and the ones in Diaspora. Even though the dollar is 1 to 1700 now they still need to work their asses off for every dollar. No dey take brain calculates how much dollars be for who wan give you o! Person wey you dey look up to see get who e dey look up to o.
