Nigerians Raise Millions for Viral Man Featured in Asherkine’s Video After Discovering His Wife Pretended to Be a Single Mother Online
Nigerians have rallied to raise millions for Oluwasegun Anozie, a man who recently went viral after appearing in a video by popular content creator Asherkine. The man, a bus driver, gained attention after sharing his struggles as a commercial driver trying to support his family.
In the video, Anozie expressed his wish for a bag of rice and a new TV, which Asherkine delivered to his home. Upon visiting, Asherkine met Anozie’s wife and their four children and, moved by the situation, offered to pay the children’s school fees and gifted the family 50,000 naira.
However, it was later revealed that Anozie’s wife had been posing as a single mother online to solicit funds. Despite backlash from netizens, she defended her actions, claiming her focus was solely on her children and not her marriage.
Sympathetic Nigerians have since launched a crowdfunding campaign to support Anozie. An X influencer, @john_d_doe, shared the man’s account details, encouraging others to contribute. The donations, ranging from small to significant amounts, have quickly accumulated into millions.
