A heartwarming story of kindness and generosity has unfolded in Nigeria, where a family with quadruplets received an outpouring of support from strangers.

Sodiq Olayode’s wife, Abiodun, recently gave birth to quadruplets, adding to their existing two children.

A colleague of Olayode, James, shared the news on social media, revealing that the family was struggling to cope with the new additions.

He shared a screenshot of Olayode’s WhatsApp post, which highlighted the challenges of raising quadruplets, including the use of 105 diapers in just six days.

“Fun fact: A colleague of mine who had two kids already said he should do it and add one more.

“Guess how many his wife gave birth to? Four at once (quadruplets). The man wan craze. Na so so lament for status every day.”

“105 pieces of diapers in 6 days. Haaa, mo gbe mo daran. E shanu mi eyin quadruplet yi”, a screenshot from Sodiq’s whatsApp post. 

Moved by the family’s situation, Nigerians began donating money to support them.

 “I reached out to them yesterday for their permission to post their picture and that of the children, as well as his account details.

“Also, if you would love to send them diapers or anything else, kindly reach out to me. I will find a way to get it to them. Proper accountability would be done”, James wrote.

James provided hourly updates on the donations, expressing the family’s gratitude and awe at the kindness of strangers.
