“Mohbad made you.”
Reacting to it, Chike wrote:
“Your mother made you”
The two continued for a while until it reached the point where the highlife singer accused the X user of being hungry and mentioned sending them N1m.
He wrote:
“Now I doubt your mother even made you right. If she didn’t teach you manners she should have taught you research. I for send you like 1M now, make hunger comot your eye make you see road but your account fit collapse. Let the good guy rest in peace .”
While reacting to this, the troll shared his account information, which Chike sent N1M, telling him to eat because he understands hunger may be the source of his attitude.
“I know say na hunger. hunger boy , Oya and eat.”
The troll in question couldn’t contain his excitement. When someone who was following the back and forth queried to know if he had seen the money, he responded:
“Yes, e don enter now, if no be for hate wetin I for chop this night.”
