Homeless Man And Wife Get Help From Twitter As They Go Viral by DesChyko: 3:52pm On Apr 08, 2023

A twitter user, @zheeno_rocks, shared a video of a homeless man and his wife, sitting outside in the open air and having a simple breakfast of pap and bread. They were seated on one of their sofas, beside the cleared rubbles of a demolished house, where they were previously living.

The twitter user spoke of being moved by their plight and wishing he could do something about, especially with the rains around the corner. He added keywords like Peter Obi and Obidients to see if he could get it to trend. And it did trend. He got positive reactions from fellow twitter user who spurred him to get in touch with them however possible.

He was able to do so and got their account number. Since then, Nigerians across all tribes and religions have been flooding the thread with proof of funds sent to them as well as material pledges; some even promising to take care of a new apartment costs.

This also caught the attention of Vanguard Newspapers, who did a special edition on them to give them more publicity. Despite the biting economy and seemingly polarised atmosphere, Nigerians were able to unite, to help a fellow in need.

Good bless the good Samaritan

Chances are you'd go viral when you need genuine help on social media and get on screen. Reminds me of the lady that carried a placard, needing a job

And some people want Tinubu to ban twitter because of Igbos, they should also ask him to shut down the national power grid since it will stop Igbos from using it....

Say this prayer after me,
Dear God, please make me wise to realise that you shine your love on everyone, and help me know that when I rejoice with those you help, then my own help will come.
