Media personality, Ifedayo Olarinde better recognised as Daddy Freeze has stated that prosperity is not attached to giving already wealthy parents money.
In a post on Instagram, the founder of Free Nation Online Church admonished his followers to give money to the needy rather than their parents who are not in need of it.
According to him, there is no blessing to be received over such an act because the blessings for giving are only receivable when the parents are poor and incapable.

Freeze took to Facebook and wrote: “There is no blessing in giving your rich parents money. The blessing is when you give to the po0r. If your parents are struggling then you are blessed when you give them money or assist them. ‘Honor your father & mother’ should not be monetized!”
The famous Nigerian-Romanian broadcaster also affirmed that he has never given his mother, who is a University Vice Chancellor, money.
Freeze also insisted that his mother doesn’t need his money after he was urged by a follower to do so even though she is rich. He recounted how his mother once returned a huge sum to a politician after the money was dropped for her.
Reaction: Nigeria isn’t a white man’s land
Followers of the socialite found no justification for such thought, though a few saw from his point of view.
bodyglamz – Even if parents are comfortable the gifts put a smile on their faces . My oyibo friend who got two houses from her parents still buys them gifts on special occasions.
jchi23444 – Facts!! The challenge with dealing with most Nigerians is they are very emotional people. They don’t deal with facts.
stoneporsh – Honor your father and Mother. It’s not just In monetary aspect. There is more to this verse than just attach it to money.
precious_okoruwa – They also need to be shown love sometimes. Trust me they would be so excited and appreciate it so much ??
i_am_jj_uwa – Understanding and world view is key. When we apply a Nigerian view to things like this we mess things up.
