Popular Nigerian content creator, Ola of Lagos, has opened up about a bitter experience that cost him millions, all because he decided to be “too nice.”

Speaking in a recent online chat, the social media sensation revealed how a decision he made out of generosity left him reeling from a staggering ₦18 million debt.

The content creator explained that he had gone into a business arrangement, not out of pity, but simply because he wanted to be kind. Unfortunately, the deal backfired in a way he never anticipated.

He lamented:

“Imagine pulling ₦18 million from your pocket to settle a debt you had no business incurring in the first place. It makes no sense."

For the car reviewer-turned-influencer, it was a painful but important lesson.

Known for his flashy lifestyle and habit of giving back to fans and strangers alike, Ola admitted that the experience changed his outlook on generosity.

He stressed that while he still loves helping people, he has now learned to apply wisdom before making commitments.

He said:

“Of course, I still show love to the streets. But now I do it with sense.”
