Nigerian comedian Deeone has sparked a debate after openly criticizing fellow content creator Nons Miraj for her recent act of generosity towards a struggling fish pie vendor.
The controversy began when Nons Miraj, in a viral video, surprised the vendor with a brand-new car, an act widely praised for its kindness.
However, Deeone questioned the practicality of the gift and suggested that providing business capital would have been a more beneficial approach.
In a social media post, Deeone expressed his concerns, arguing that while the gesture was well-intentioned, a car might not be the most suitable way to help the vendor grow his business.
He proposed that offering a financial boost in the form of capital would have allowed the vendor to invest in scaling his operations, improving product quality, or expanding his business.
This, Deeone believed, would provide a more sustainable path to success.
Deeone also highlighted the additional costs that come with owning a car, such as fuel, maintenance, and insurance.
For someone still trying to establish a stable business, these expenses could quickly become a burden, overshadowing the initial help provided by the car.
Despite his criticisms, Deeone acknowledged that Nons Miraj’s gesture was generous, noting that she had even paid the vendor’s rent and upgraded his living conditions.
However, he stood by his point that a more strategic investment in the vendor’s business would have been a more effective way to help him achieve long-term success.
The comedian’s remarks have ignited discussions on social media, with many users sharing their perspectives on how best to support small business owners in need.
While some agreed with Deeone’s assessment, others defended Nons Miraj’s choice, emphasizing the value of her goodwill. The debate continues, with both sides offering different views on the most practical forms of assistance for struggling entrepreneurs.
“This is a nice gesture even though she does not owe the guy anything. She even paid rent and put him in a nice apartment. But buying this guy a car is not helping him and in fact a financial wickedness. He doesn’t have a system yet to bring in money.”
