An influencer on X has announced that a sum of N22m has been contributed for a graduate of the Lagos State University, David Obadiah, to undergo corrective leg surgery.
David, also known as Baddy of Lagos, was born with bow legs, a condition in which the knees stay apart even when standing with feet and ankles together.

In an earlier post by the graduate, he had recounted how he had undergone several surgeries in the past which failed to correct the condition.
Responding to his plea, an X influencer known as Sir Dickson organised a crowdfunding for the young man, receiving donations also from the prominent Afrobeats singer, Davido, who gave N3 million to the cause.
In a recent post by @Wizarab10, he announced that the sum of N22 million has been raised and appreciated those who contributed.

"Wow, N22m in just 2 weeks. That’s really amazing. It really shows what happens when we all put in our collective effort towards a course. kinda like how my family rallied around my cousin when she needed help with medical bills a few years back. It’s those moments that remind you how beautiful community can be. Thank you for bringing us together for Baddy, praying for his quick recovery and strength after the surgery."
