The Nigerian striker, who currently plays for AFC Toronto and shone for the Super Falcons at last year’s WAFCON, sparked a heart-warming moment that quickly caught public attention. In a spontaneous act of kindness, she asked a delivery rider to make a bl!nd choice between two options placed before him.
Without hesitation, the rider selected a $100 note—worth approximately ₦142,000 at current exchange rates—despite the fact that a much larger stack of naira lay beside it. Clearly overwhelmed, he walked away beaming, repeatedly expressing gratitude and saying the gesture had changed his life.
The clip triggered an outpouring of praise for the footballer’s generosity, particularly toward a worker believed to earn around $600 monthly. While many applauded the compassion shown, others reacted with amusement at the rider’s choice, using the moment to highlight Nigeria’s deep-rooted preference for the dollar. The incident also reopened conversations around the naira’s ongoing struggles and the broader economic realities facing everyday Nigerians.
