Tweeting as #James, he revealed how Olayode recently lamented that the quadruplets used 105 diapers in six days. His post generated a mix of sympathy as well as joy, with Nigerians donating millions of naira to Olayode’s bank account, which James provided.

Furthermore, to the financial support, he added that some Nigerians have donated diapers, baby items, and food, among others. Olayode and his wife initially expected to welcome a single child, but were surprised by the arrival of quadruplets, two boys and two girls.

The donations are currently ongoing, as the family is eyeing the ₦20 million mark.
