X users have shown compassion towards a Nigerian couple, Sodiq and Abiodun Olayode, who welcomed quadruplets (four babies) at a time when people are barely adjusting to the economy.
On Tuesday, X user James revealed that his colleague, the father of the quadruplets, often laments on his WhatsApp status about the cost of caring for his babies.
According to him, Mr Olayode and his wife already had two children when their aspiration to expand their family by one resulted in a shocking increase.
The economic hardship has made caring for four babies tasking and financially draining for an average Nigerian Family.
As of press time, the couple has received over N16 million and still counting.
Donations
The lucky couple received over N16 million when James replied to an X user, Ifedolapo Sanni,โs post about not wanting to have twins, which triggered many comments and reactions from netizens.
The entrepreneur responded to her post, tweeting, โFun fact: My colleague who had two kids already said he should do and add one more. Guess how many his wife gave birth to? 4 at once (quadruplets). The man wanted craze. Na so so laments for status every day.โ
He further posted a screenshot of Olayodeโs Whatsapp status, revealing the number of Pampers used in six days, reflecting his challenges in caring for them.
The post reads, โ105 pieces of diapers in 6 days, ha! Mo gbe mo daran. E shanu mi eyin quadruplet yiโ. This translates as โ 105 pieces of diapers in 6 days, ha! I am finished; I am in trouble. Have mercy on me, this quadruplet.โ
Additionally, James shared the coupleโs account details and photos of the quadruplets with their consent in response to individuals who showed interest in supporting the family.
The overwhelming support and donations from brands like Airtel and Netizens have increased from zero to over N16,000,000 in less than two days.
On Thursday, Airtel Nigeria via Xย announcedย their intentions to support the couple with N2 million, stating that โgreat things come in multiplesโ.

Weโre adding N2m because great things come in multiples.#AReasonToImagine

The Olayodeโs lifeline is reminiscent of Deborah Olaki, aka Mummy Zee, who became theย luckiest Nigerian housewifeย overnight after her tweet about preparing her husbandโs lunch at 4:50 a.m. daily since his female colleague brought food for him went viral.
