“Lamentation To Celebration”, Nigerians Donates Over N10m To Parents of Quadruplets
The life of Sodiq Olayode on Wednesday witnessed a dramatic turn around owing to the outpour of donations by Nigerians over the diaper needs of his quadruplets which has surpassed N10m.
Osun Defender reports that Olayode and his wife, Abiodun welcomed a set of quadruplets instead of a single child they initially expected. A responsibility beyond his control as he struggle with the need for diapers for the quadruplets, who used 105 diapers in six days.
Following the development, Olayode’s colleague James, identified as #jamysax on X.com, shared his lamentation on X.
His post gained the attention of netizens on X.com, which spurred the donations made to Olayode’s bank account that James provided on Wednesday.
Providing hourly updates, James wrote on X.com, “Hello, tueh tueh. As of 16:05, they have received 10,342,204 million.
“Also, someone is about to pay for three months delivery of diapers.”
He added that some individuals also offered to gift them baby items, among others.
“Also, someone volunteered to pay their wages with 50k monthly for a year and also pay for a house help (50k) monthly for a year. That’s 100k per month for a year,” James stated.
Speaking in an interview with Feelrightnewstv on Facebook, Sodiq revealed that they were already blessed with a daughter before welcoming the quadruplets, two boys and two girls.
He added that the quadruplets were born at eight months because the pregnancy was becoming “life-threatening.”
