Olajide Sanyaolu, tweeting from @JaySanya on Monday, announced his graduation from Afe Babalola University with first-class honours, and thanked Nigerian pop star, Davido, for helping him with money.

In Sanyaolu’s words:

“Uni timeline

– left England because money no Dey Lagos

– mentor sets up a gofundme for uni

– @davido dropped funds to support my fundraiser (thanks to Twitter folk)

– Resumed abuad and survived Nigerian education

– first class EEE

#ThankYouJesus.”

In 2015, Sanyaolu – then a student of Liverpool University studying Electronics and Communications Engineering – opened a GoFundMe page to help in raising his school fees. His goal was to raise £24,700 for his tuition.

This coincided with the period that Davido announced that he would reward one of his fans with N1 million to celebrate reaching one million followers on Instagram.

Before Davido’s donation, Olajide had only raised a little more than £3,900.

A cheque of N1 million was presented to him by Davido himself on August 19, 2015.

Davido acknowledged Sanyaolu’s appreciation tweet, saying “Crazy! Happy for you.”

But UK universities are too damn costly bro

24,700 pounds, that is almost 15m in naira

This money will be enough to train a family of 6 in Nigerian university including their house rent and stipend

Congrats to him though and thanks to Davido and others who contributed to this

This is lovely and worthy of celebrating.

I see people on this thread asking why chioma isn't a graduate, I see the question trending on Twitter and Nairaland, I see davido ignoring them. This I have seen.

If you are in a position to help. Please do. At the end of the day, we all will leave this world without taking a dime with us. Whatever we do will continue to speak long after we are gone.

What Davido does in 1 month is more than Buhari's achievements in 5 years.

Let me run b4 BMC zombies come for my head.....

He's done great for the lad...

Has anyone notices that news that get to nairaland are usually stale?

Any way check my signature and register with my link

nice one by Davido

Congratulations... Well deserved! This is why it is good to help if you have the means. So many dreams are dead because no one to help sponsor them to the height they need to attain.

What should we do now?
