Nigerians are known to be kind and generous people; however, not all celebrities are known to readily part ways with their cash. Despite that, some top Nigerian stars have broken the internet after giving out huge sums of money to others.
It is a common saying that people cannot be told how to spend their money. This is why it tugs at the heartstrings of fans when a celebrity decides to give out some of their hard-earned cash. While some of these stars give out the little amounts they can afford, some top celebrities have shaken Nigerians to their core with their huge donations to others.
Legit.ng has now compiled a list of some top Nigerian celebrities whose huge donations, running into millions, broke the internet.
