A Nigerian politician has gone viral on social media after being seen with bundles of cash in an apartment.
The video, posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user @IU_Wakilii, has been circulating widely.
Shortly before the video, photos had surfaced online showing the man alongside stacks of cash.
In sharing the initial photo, @IU_Wakilii captioned it, “Northern Politicians. This is a Member of the House of Representatives.”
Many users initially doubted the authenticity of the image, speculating it was photoshopped or fake.
To counter these claims, @IU_Wakilii later uploaded a video of the politician with the cash, writing, “This is photoshop too?”
The video has since sparked a wave of reactions, with concerned individuals flooding the comment section to express their thoughts.
See some reactions below:
@tellmarh: “I can’t understand the idea of just sitting on money. Can’t fix roads, can’t build schools, can’t fix Hospitals, nothing. It’s crazy. 2ndly, I thought banks don’t have cash to dispense. I thought maximum amount a person can withdraw is 40k.”
@OlayinkaJubri: “I don’t understand why terrorism is allowed to fester in the north and not allowed in the southern.80% ,if not more than the funds budgeted for insecurity in Nigeria end up in the north.yet the north always remember.”
@siyuty: “As long as it’s not a bribe being given out or collected. There is nothing to worry about. You guys should mind your business ooo.”
@nehemiahnanmwa: “This is a disaster. Unfortunately, it goes to tell our level of political orientation In this country.
@SumolaIdowu: “The funniest thing is that all this money fit no reach 2 million dollars. Currency devaluation is a bastard.”
@Bujourz: “These Northerners are thieves. I swear. National Budget is just for them. We are not serious yet to be called a nation.”
