Heartbreaking video as Nigerian couple and new baby evicted over unpaid rent, forced to sleep outside
A Nigerian couple and their new baby sparked emotional reactions online as they were evicted over rent by their landlord and made to sleep outside late at night.
This was captured in a video made available by an individual who offered help to the couple after he saw them sleeping on the bare floor on his way back from work.
The video shows the man and his wife sleeping on the floor with just a bedsheet laid on the ground, with their child in-between them.
Moved by their situation, he offered help while revealing through the caption in the video that the couple was evicted by the landlord due to rent arrears.
The caption of the video better explains the situation as it reads: “I was coming back from somewhere around past 9 pm when I ran into this family, guys! People are really going through a lot, OMG!”
“If I hadn’t taken the baby and mother away that night, it would have been really terrible for them because it later rained cats and dogs afterwards. Imagine they had slept in that cold for two nights already 😭😭.”
“I know I don’t have a large community yet, but I’m proud of the little I have and I’m sure something good will come out of Nazareth! Let’s help them, please. Your 1k, 2k, 3-10k can go a long way.”
“The baby needs to be taken care of too, please. I sought the guy’s consent before bringing this to social media, and he’s cool with it because he doesn’t have a choice as he needs help badly.”
“The guy is a mechanic. He couldn’t save for the rent because what he gets from his job, they use for feeding! God bless you as you help🙏.”
The incident attracted the attention of individuals who have stormed the comment page of the post to share their thoughts.
