Scamming me was not the problem – Brainjotter speaks on disabled “boy”

• Brainjotter has spoken about the disabled pure-water seller he called on Nigerians to help.
• The skitmaker stated that getting scammed wasn’t the problem but the motive behind it.
• He added that the fact that the boy in question had gotten help before, but went back to the streets shows his dubious character.

Some weeks back, famous Nigerian skit maker Emmanuel Chukwuebuka Amuzie, aka Brainjotter, was in the news.

The comic had shared a clip of a disabled alleged young lady whom he saw selling pure water on the Lekki-Epe expressway.

Brain Jotter, who is gradually becoming famous for his philanthropy, called on Nigerians to help the young lady. He also made a call to action to other well-to-do Nigerians to join him to help the alleged young lady.

Among those who responded were renowned Afrobeat star, Davido and his uncle, the Osun state governor, Ademola Adeleke.

However, within hours, the entire case took a drastic turn as some person came out to slam the young lady as a fraudster.

It was revealed that Eniola wasn’t a girl but a boy. A group of Lagos bakers went online to debunk Eniola’s claims, revealing how they raised over N600k for him some weeks before and got him an apartment.

Davido and some others who showed interest with plans of helping Eniola withdrew after news got to them about his real gender.  

The skit maker while reacting during a recent interview said that he had no problem with Eniola’s gender; instead, it was the main motive to defraud innocent people who genuinely wanted to help him. In his words;

“Scamming me was never the problem. It is the scheme behind changing his gender, collecting over N600k from some people only to go back to the street to repeat the same scheme again. That’s the real issue.”
