Nigerians have rallied together to raise millions for a Nigerian man who went viral in Asherkine’s video after it was revealed that his wife had been posing as a single mother online to solicit funds. This situation has captured the attention and empathy of many, leading to a significant outpouring of support.
It would be recalled that a Nigerian man, Oluwasegun Anozie, had gone viral a few days ago following an encounter with the popular content creator, Asherkine. The video, which quickly gained traction on social media, showed the man, who works as a bus driver, sharing a glimpse into his challenging daily life as a commercial driver, struggling to make ends meet while raising a family.
In the video, Asherkine generously offered to fulfill the man’s request for a bag of rice and a new TV. These items were personally delivered to the man’s home, where Asherkine met Oluwasegun Anozie’s wife and four children. Moved by their situation, Asherkine went further to offer to pay for the children’s school fees and also handed the man 50,000 naira on the spot. This act of kindness was met with widespread praise online.
However, it was later discovered that Oluwasegun’s wife had been posing as a single mother online, soliciting funds from unsuspecting people. When confronted by netizens about this, she defiantly doubled down, criticizing her marriage and stating that only her children matter to her, dismissing her husband’s role in the family.
This revelation sparked a mixture of outrage and sympathy among social media users. While many condemned the wife’s actions, others felt deep compassion for Oluwasegun Anozie. Moved by his plight, some netizens have initiated a crowdfunding campaign to support the embattled man. The campaign quickly gained traction, with kindhearted individuals donating in both large and small amounts, gradually raising the total funds to millions of naira.
An X influencer, @john_d_doe, took to social media to share the man’s account details, urging people to contribute and support him during this difficult time. He wrote:
“Dear kindhearted people, Please here is the account of Mr. Anozie @AnozieOlusegun. God bless you 🙏.”
As the donations continue to pour in, the collective efforts of compassionate netizens are helping to change the life of Oluwasegun Anozie and his family for the better.
