Sodiq Olayode, wife and quadruplets Credit: Xjamysax
The outpouring of donations for one Sodiq Olayode, whose wife, Abiodun, recently gave birth to quadruplets, has surpassed N10 million.
This development comes after a colleague, James, identified as #jamysax on X.com, shared Olayode’s struggle with the need for diapers for the quadruplets, who used 105 diapers in six days.
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.
PUNCH Online earlier reported that James disclosed on Tuesday how Olayode and his wife welcomed a set of quadruplets instead of a single child they initially expected.
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.”
Recall in January how a mother, Deborah Olaki (also known on X as Mummy Zee), became a millionaire in less than 48 hours after a post on X.com stating how she wakes up as early as 4.50 am to prepare her husband’s lunch. (The PUNCH)
