How N350k was raised for young car spotter
Daddy Freeze said the money was raised by members of his “#FreeNation” movement. Daddy Freeze was touched by the young man’s plight while interviewing him.
The young man, who didn’t give his name throughout the interview, could not even show his face during the Instagram live interview with Daddy Freeze because he didn’t have access to light.
The broadcaster had expressed his unhappiness that the young man didn’t have light and struggled to make ends meet, while pursuing his car spotting passion, with the latest being where he filmed Pastor Adefarasin’s Range Rover car, a clip that has generated controversy online.
“Don’t worry, we will give you cash today. I am not happy that you don’t have light…This boy should be encouraged…,” Daddy Freeze said during the interview and urged people to support the lad financially.
This led to a series of donations from people, with the media personality contributing N50k.
According to the passionate car spotter, he stopped at the secondary school level and could not further his studies due to a lack of funds. He was a commercial student in secondary school.
He said he sometimes stands on the road for up to eight hours in a bid to spot a luxury car and film it.
His car spotting content had seen him receive cash sometimes, with the highest being N6k from Prince Fuhadoloto, Chairman/GMD of Futol group of companies.
