A Nigerian woman has publicly expressed her opinion regarding the highly publicized cost of fashion designer Veekee James’ birthday cake, sparking a conversation on social values and financial priorities.
The statement was made in reaction to reports that the cake, created for Veekee James’ 30th birthday celebration, was valued at an estimated ₦18 million—a detail confirmed by one of the bakers involved in the elaborate confection.
The event itself was described as a lavish affair, with notable figures from the entertainment industry and other dignitaries in attendance. Despite the grandeur of the occasion, the price tag of the birthday cake quickly became a focal point of public discourse.
In her remarks, the woman described the expenditure as an example of extravagant indulgence. She suggested that the same amount of money could have been more meaningfully directed toward charitable causes, such as supporting homes for motherless children. In a surprising twist, however, she also expressed a prayerful sentiment, stating that such generosity—if intended—might be rewarded by divine favor, perhaps even with triplets.
The comments have since generated mixed reactions online, reflecting ongoing debates about wealth, giving, and personal freedom in displays of affluence.
“When God bless you, the first thing that should be on your mind is how to be a blessing to others.If you carry 500k buy bag of rice, spaghetti, tomatoes and Maggi share for 30 motherless baby homes, God can surprise you with triplets “,She stated.
Furthermore, the lady, yet to be identified, claimed that the luxurious spending stems from social media pressure and the need for validation.
