Kind-hearted members of the public have donated over N10m to the family of Sodiq Olayode, whose wife, Abiodun, recently gave birth to a set of quadruplets comprising two girls and two boys.
The man had gone viral on X (formerly Twitter) after his colleague, James, shared the story of Olayode’s wife giving birth to quadruplets.
According to James, the couple encountered the multiple births in their attempt to ‘add one more child’ to their family.
The couple had been parents to a baby girl before the quadruplets came calling.
James, identified as @jamysax on X, shared Olayode’s struggle with the need for diapers for the quadruplets who are said to have used 105 diapers in six days.
His post gained the attention of netizens on X, spurring the generous donations made to Olayode’s bank account that James provided on Wednesday.
Providing hourly updates, James tweeted, “Hello, tueh tueh. As of 16:05, they have received N10,342,204 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.
Meanwhile, Sodiq had earlier told Feelrightnewstv on Facebook that they were already blessed with a daughter before welcoming the quadruplets.
He added that the quadruplets were born at eight months because the pregnancy was becoming “life-threatening.”
