A heartwarming tale of generosity has unfolded in Nigeria, as a family with quadruplets has received an outpouring of support from strangers. Sodiq Olayode’s wife, Abiodun, recently gave birth to quadruplets, bringing the family’s total number of children to five.
When a colleague, James, shared the news on social media, he highlighted the challenges faced by the family in caring for their new additions. He posted a screenshot of Olayode’s WhatsApp message, which described the overwhelming task of using 105 diapers in just six days.
Moved by the family’s situation, Nigerians began donating money to help ease their burden. James, who initiated the fundraising effort, reached out to Olayode and his family for permission to share their story and account details.
As of Wednesday, over N4.2 million had been raised, with many individuals offering to provide baby items and diapers. James has been providing hourly updates on the donations, expressing the family’s gratitude and awe at the kindness of strangers.
The response has been nothing short of astonishing, with Nigerians from all walks of life showing compassion and generosity towards the family. The quadruplets’ arrival may have brought added responsibilities, but it has also brought joy and a sense of community to those who have been touched by their story.
The family’s ordeal serves as a reminder that even in times of struggle, kindness and generosity can come from unexpected places. As the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child,” and it seems that Nigeria’s village is rallying around this deserving family.
