“I’m in tears guys 😭😭”

The Olayode family’s story became a social media sensation after a colleague, Oyeniran James, shared the family’s predicament on X in July.

James revealed how Olayode lamented that the quadruplets used 105 diapers in six days.

The couple, who initially expected a single child, were surprised by the arrival of quadruplets – two boys and two girls.

Telecommunication company Airtel Nigeria later gifted the family the sum of N2 million.

It was further gathered that about N19 million had been donated to the family.
