Popular fashion designer Victoria James Atere, widely known as Veekee James, has expressed shock after a stranger on social media requested a whopping N2 million for school fees. In a video circulating online, the designer, who recently welcomed her first child, shared a screenshot of the bold request and lamented the situation.
Veekee James Questions Her Online Image
Reacting to the request, Veekee James questioned the lifestyle she portrays online that would lead someone to ask for such a large sum. She said, "There is something wrong somewhere. In what way have I portrayed myself to make somebody think that they can ask me to please help with 2,000,000 for school fees so randomly?"
The fashion designer revealed that she is used to receiving monetary requests, but this was the highest she had ever seen. She added, "I'm a struggling fatherless child who now has a child. Normally, what I see is, help me with 20k, 50k, 100k. I still dey say, ok, ok, the one wey I fit help, I help. #2,000,000 for school fees? which school you dey go?"
