@ogbame_justus commented, “On top 19k, what else do you expect the person to say? ‘Seen, thanks’ is enough depending on your relationship.”

@EniolaZetarium added, “People in Nigeria normally don’t overreact when sending or receiving money. Someone abroad sending 19k shouldn’t expect excessive hype. However, a simple ‘thank you’ is appropriate.”
