Nigerian sensation, Chidinma Ekile, has conveyed a significant message to her extensive following, regarding the potential drawbacks of being excessively generous.
The gospel singer expressed her disagreement with Davido’s well-known tagline, ‘We Rise By Lifting Others’, emphasizing the idea that one’s own downfall can result from lifting others.
In her cautionary advice, the fair-skinned singer urged her fans to moderate the assistance they provide to others, and to remain vigilant against being manipulated or guilt-tripped into parting with their money.
She stated, “You can actually fall by lifting others, put a limit to how you help people. Don’t do too much, and never allow them guilt trip or manipulate you into getting money off you”.
Many agreed with her message in the comments section.
For instance, a user known as Ladyque wrote, “Givers need to set limits because takers never get tired of taking.”
Another user, Its Pretty Oprah, concurred, “Exactly, and when you fall, those people won’t remember when you helped them, they will only remember the bad things you’ve done”.
Similarly, Sossi Official commented, “Takers will always take Dem no send your papa”.
Additionally, some users shared personal anecdotes and advice reinforcing Chidinma’s stance on limiting generosity.
Weeks earlier, Davido had expressed frustration over ingratitude, reflecting on the ungratefulness in the industry and his own learning experiences.
This sentiment followed a public dispute initiated by his former friend and colleague, Dammy Krane, regarding an alleged debt stemming from their collaboration on the track, “Pere”.
It’s recounting incidents like these that have sparked Chidinma’s timely words of caution regarding the potential pitfalls of relentless giving.
