Man recalls unemployed father’s reaction after losing his ₦80k school fees to Bet9ja
A Nigerian man has gone viral on social media after sharing his emotional story about his father, who is currently jobless, and their interaction following a risky decision he made with his school fees.
In a post that has gained significant attention on X (formerly Twitter), the man recounted how he lost his school fees while in his third year at university to Bet9ja, a popular betting platform.
After a period of anxiety, he finally gathered the courage to confess to his father about the loss.
To his surprise, despite being unemployed, his father sent him the full amount of 80,000 Naira to cover the lost fees.
Expressing his gratitude, the man wrote, “Bet9ja collected my full year 3 school fees back in 2017/18. I finally found the courage to tell him in my final year, and this man sent back the full amount of 80k knowing he was out of a job then. Bruh, tears came to my eyes, man. I can’t disappoint him, wahlai 😔💔.”
He added, “I’m glad I can send him money every once in a while now and every month. I could never repay him.”
His heartfelt revelation resonated with many, prompting an outpouring of support and comments from concerned individuals who shared their thoughts on the post.
