A Nigerian politician [/b]has gone viral on social media after being seen with bundles of cash in an apartment. The video, which has been widely circulated, was initially posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user @IU_Wakilii, drawing significant attention online.
The viral video followed the release of photos that had surfaced online earlier, showing the politician surrounded by stacks of cash. The first photo was shared by @IU_Wakilii, who captioned it with, “Northern Politicians. This is a Member of the House of Representatives.” At first, many social media users doubted the authenticity of the images, speculating that they might have been photoshopped or altered in some way.
To counter these claims, @IU_Wakilii later shared a video showing the same politician with the stacks of cash, challenging the naysayers by asking, “This is photoshop too?” The video quickly gained traction, sparking a wave of reactions across the platform, with people expressing a range of thoughts about the situation and raising concerns about the implications.
See some reactions below:
@tellmarh: “I can’t understand the idea of just sitting on money. Can’t fix roads, can’t build schools, can’t fix hospitals, nothing. It’s crazy. 2ndly, I thought banks don’t have cash to dispense. I thought the maximum amount a person can withdraw is 40k.”
@OlayinkaJubri: “I don’t understand why terrorism is allowed to fester in the north and not allowed in the southern. 80% ,if not more than the funds budgeted for insecurity in Nigeria end up in the north. Yet the north always remembers.”
@siyuty: “As long as it’s not a bribe being given out or collected, there is nothing to worry about. You guys should mind your business ooo.”
@nehemiahnanmwa: “This is a disaster. Unfortunately, it goes to tell our level of political orientation in this country.”
@SumolaIdowu: “The funniest thing is that all this money might not even reach 2 million dollars. Currency devaluation is a bastard.”
@Bujourz: “These Northerners are thieves. I swear. National Budget is just for them. We are not serious yet to be called a nation.”
