A series of videos posted on TikTok by Rollybear London told the story of the woman who he first sawher begging for food in the streets of the UK.

The woman had said she raised the children of her niece while not receiving a salary for her services.

In a new video, the woman was seen holding N25,000 cash and saying it was all that was given to her after 10 years of work for her sister.

She said she was given the money for her to use and come back to Nigeria.

Rollybear said:

"They gave Mama N25,000, the equivalent of £12.5 to go to Nigeria after 10 years of looking after her kids."

The woman, who is now 77, got the money three years ago, and she has kept it intact in physical cash to date.
