What happened?

On Tuesday, July 23, an X user shared her strong reservations about being a parent to twins. The post came a few days after lifestyle influencer Sisi Yemmie welcomed twins.

Reacting to the post, another X user, @jamysax, shared the story of his friend, Sodiq Olayode, who welcomed a set of quadruplets with his wife while trying for their third child.

@jamysax mentioned that the individual constantly laments his situation on WhatsApp every day.

The tweet soon caught the attention of Nigerians on X. While some made light of the situation, others offered to donate to the family’s welfare.

Nigerians begin donation for Olayode family

Shortly after his tweet, @jamysax returned with a picture of the couple, adding that he had gotten permission to share their bank details for financial assistance.

At 9:24 a.m. on Wednesday, July 24, @jamysax shared a screenshot of a bank transaction showing a balance of over ₦1.5m donated by kind Nigerians.

The figure increased to ₦2.8m around 10:03 a.m. and ₦6.7m around 13:08 p.m. the same day. @jamysax promised to update the donation status every hour.

This is a developing story.
