Remember this little boy whose story was all over social media late last year?
Ayaworan media house who took the pictures them took to social media to launch a campaign to try to help fund the little man then.
His words:
“On finally locating the abode of the boy, we met his guardian who narrated the emotional story of Oluwatobiloba. We requested for the whereabouts of the parents, but we were told that the father and mother were not together anymore. We fixed an appointment for the second day to meet with the father.
On the second day, we were armed with material and cash gifts from Ayaworan Media House and other well meaning Nigerians for Oluwatobilola.
When we got to the house of Oluwatobiloba, we found Oluwatobiloba clutching a small bucket, on his way to fetch water.
So, straight to the story of Oluwatobiloba:
He is three years old and a product of failed marriage. According to his father, the boy was abandoned by his mother when he was barely a month old. His father, unable to cater for the boy, sought for a nanny who works in a daycare center, to take custody of the boy.
The nanny has been taken care of the boy since then. Though the father is a graduate of Electrical Engineering, he is jobless.
Though Oluwatobiloba has never seen the four walls of a school, he has a good command of English language considering his age. He speaks and understand English Language.
The father is appealing to well-meaning Nigerians to assists in educating the boy who is passionate, bold and intelligent.
Friends, let’s make help in unleashing the potentials of this young boy. Yes, we can”
This morning, he took to his instagram page to announce that Terry G has decided to sponsor the young man through his primary school education and he started school today!
“2017 is sure not the end of the Lil man’s saga, as 2018 promises to be a greater one for our Lil man, Oluwatobiloba Michael Falana. Following his viral photo bombing picture late last year, which got a lot of people inspired and wanting to sow into his life for his courage and bravery.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi (Terry G), one of the many Nigerians moved by the viral picture came through with his promise as Oluwatobiloba resume school today alongside his peers.
The popular musician Terry G on his social media page promise to sponsor the boy through his primary education.
Oluwatobiloba, on the other hand, was more than happy to be in school, something he had been looking forward to.
It’s however surprising how a picture can be the beginning of great things.
It will be recalled, that the three-year boy who is a product of a failed marriage, abandoned by his mother when he was barely a month old in the care of a jobless father and has never seen the four walls of a classroom has his story changed today 8th January 2018.
We are however grateful to every group and individual that have reached out to Oluwatobiloba Michael Falana, every kind-hearted fellas that deemed it fit to make our Lil man a better person.
We appreciate your time, cash, gifts and other promises that are yet to be actualized.”
