Comedian and skit maker Emmanuel Iwueke, popularly known as Craze Clown, has publicly revealed that a friend gambled away millions of naira that he had lent the friend to support a visa application.
According to Craze Clown’s post on social media, the friend had requested the funds to strengthen a bank statement as part of the visa process. The comedian obliged, transferring “millions” into the friend’s account.
However, when Craze Clown demanded repayment, the friend admitted to using the money in an attempt to double it through gambling—and lost everything.
On X (formerly Twitter), Craze Clown expressed dismay and frustration: “You beg me make I send money to your account in millions make you use do statement of account for your visa process. After a month, oya send me my money, u come dey explain say you try double the money for gamble come loser everything!”

Fans and followers responded with sympathy and criticism: many warned against trusting people with large sums, especially when used for paperwork or visa applications. Some called the incident a cautionary tale.
As of now, there is no indication of legal action or repayment plan, and the friend’s identity remains undisclosed.
