Online video shows the tear-jerking moment a man gives N250K he got via crowdfunding to an elderly piggy bank maker after a video he made of him went viral.
The kindhearted Nigerian man identified as @Ositapopcorn on TikTok said that he had made a video of him when he first went to buy a piggy bank from the elderly man.
He had been moved by the man’s condition and made a video of him which quickly drew public attention and funds.
The TikToker returned to the man and told him about the video he made and how Nigerians had donated money for him.
In the touching video, he gave the man the piggy bank which was filled with cash and told the man to open it up to see the cash that had been donated.
Upon opening the piggy bank, he told the man the total amount of cash and the elderly man couldn’t believe his ears.
He thanked the man gratefully and extended prayers also to the generous Nigerians who had given him a new zest for life.
Some netizens have shown appreciation to the man…

@ositapopcorn Mr Patrick Simon really appreciate it. Papa doesn’t know that this is just the beginning 😅. Let’s retire papa 💪 “Today was a truly humbling experience. I had the opportunity to meet an elderly man who has been struggling to make ends meet. Thanks to the generosity of my followers, I was able to donate 250,000 naira to help him out. It’s moments like these that remind me of the importance of giving back to the community and making a positive impact in people’s lives. I hope this video inspires others to do the same.” #ositapopcorn #foryou #explore #humanity
