Nigerians Raise N1.8 Million For Protester Who Spoke About His 13-Year-Old Programmer Son’s Needs

 


Nigerians on social media have raised N1.8 million for Ogwu Benjamin Chijioke, who during Thursday’s nationwide protest, highlighted his struggle to provide for his 13-year-old son, a programmer, due to the country’s economic difficulties.


Chijioke, who was interviewed by Channels TV at the protest, shared his challenge in supporting his 13-year-old son, Goodluck Benjamin, a budding game programmer hindered by economic hardship.


Chijioke, expressing deep personal sacrifice, stated, “I’d rather die on the streets than let my son’s future go to waste. I know I may not have security in Nigeria, but my son’s future will not waste.”


His poignant story resonated with many, prompting a surge of support on social media.


Prominent Figure Morris Monye, known on X, remarked, “You can feel the passion in his soul. He’s lost hope for himself but not for his son. This is why he is protesting.”


Monye later called for action, seeking to locate Chijioke to facilitate the fundraising effort.


The campaign to support Goodluck’s game programming education quickly gained momentum, achieving its ₦1.8 million goal within hours.


Chijioke has since expressed deep gratitude for the generous response from fellow Nigerians in supporting his child’s future.”
