It is no longer news that billionaire businessman and philanthropist, Femi Otedola two days ago splashed his three daughters – Tolani, Temi, and Florence (DJ Cuppy) with new Ferrari vehicles of three different colours.

What perhaps is news is how Nigerians have reacted to the gesture of the founder of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, and the owner of a number of other businesses across shipping, real estate and finance.

The Ferrari car in the market place worths approximately $338,000 (N131.8 million) or more currently.

Maggie’s Blog captures the funny feelings of a cross section of Nigerians on Twitter:

“Are you looking for a driver or just a wash man? I have a masters degree in washing cars. I’ve washed over 30 cars across 4 owners. Hire me cuppy !!! I can wash underwear too o as bonus Sleepy face” – @dejiimole.

“In a middle of a pandemic when many people are unemployed and currently struggling to survive? Do you know how many families he can lift out of poverty or how many hospitals, schools would be well equipped with this money? Absolute waste of resources!” – @Abu_swag.

“God punish poverty and bless me biko” – @judithg60335778.

“While some have said that Otedola lifted lots of people out of poverty in this pandemic. Go and read about the forerunners of CACOVID, see the amount he donated to the initiative. Come back and compare it to the amount he used to buy these ‘toys’ for his kids. Celebrate with them and pray for God’s blessings.” – @alexlobaloba.

“One day, she’ll mistakenly splash water on me, she’ll come down to apologise. Then we’ll fall in love against the wishes of her father. But in the end, love will prevail.”

– @Boboye_Ak.

“The last time me and my father passed a car shop like this, it wasn’t funny. My body mistakenly hit the car and the car security alarm started making noise, my father started running & was saying 'God the child you gave me wants my face to show on Crimefighters. I’m not a thief o’ ” – @VictorIsrael_

“Poverty, it will not be well with you” – @Mbahdeyforyou.
