A heartwarming story emerged when a young schoolboy named Akorede spontaneously danced in a video posted by a Lagos-based businesswoman, Nze Matilda. The video, initially meant to mark the reopening of Matilda’s store, captured Akorede’s lively dance moves, touching the hearts of many Nigerians who generously donated over N2 million to support him.
After an initial donation of ₦100,000, Matilda was determined to locate Akorede and ensure he received the funds. The donations quickly grew to N250,000, and Matilda handed over the amount to Akorede’s family. The generosity continued, with donations reaching N700,000 by the end of the week.
As the story gained momentum, donations increased to N1.1 million, with an anonymous donor pledging to sponsor Akorede’s education from secondary school through university. The total donations eventually surpassed N2 million, leaving Matilda in awe of the incredible support and expressing gratitude for the overwhelming response.
Matilda remained committed to responsibly delivering the funds to Akorede and his family, thanking everyone for their kindness and support throughout the heartwarming journey.
