Nigerians on X Raise N1.3 Million for Couple Who Recently Welcomed Triplets after Man Cried out

  • A Nigerian man has appreciated the X community (formerly Twitter) after they came through for him and his immediate family with N1.3 million in support
  • The civil servant had earlier appealed for support on X after his wife welcomed a set of triplets on July 22
  • He had lamented that the economic situation in the country put him in a tight fix and with very little to provide for his wife and children

X users have contributed N1.3 million to a Nigerian couple, the Olumuyiwas, who recently welcomed triplets—two female children and a boy.

This came hours after the man, Olumuyiwa Egunjobi, lamented on X his inability to cater for his wife and the newborns.
