A female student of university of Benin (UNIBEN) identified as Jennifer Okoro has been bestowed with cash by many Nigerians after Photos of her doing bricklaying job surface on social media.
This is coming after Jennifer had tweeted a post on Twitter showing the moment she and her other friends carrying head pans with cement mortar at a site work, the post generated many reactions on Twitter with many hailing her for hardworking while some believe the pictures might be fake
The pictures tagged “Aside being student” in her Twitter post garnered over five thousand retweets and comments. Some of the comments were negative, but overwhelming.
The student said she is overwhelmed with the cash donations received from Nigerians in less than 24 hours of sharing photos of herself and friends carrying head pans with cement mortar, which they were serving masons in a building site.
The student narrated that she had to take the job in a bid to earn extra income to augment the inadequate support from her parents, whose earnings are meagre and hardly enough to pay for her school fees and that of her three siblings.

“So far, I have received about N200,000, an amount I didn’t expect”, she told The Gazette in an interview.
Households across Nigeria have been racked by biting economic crises which the government blamed on dwindling oil prices and corruption. The National Bureau of Statistics categorised nearly half of Nigeria’s working population as either unemployed or underemployed as of this month.

Miss Okoro, whose father works as a driver at the Benin branch of a Lagos-based MITV and her mother a petty trader, said her tweet was done only to update her media on Twitter and not to appeal for financial assistance. It has, however, generated overwhelming reactions and support from Nigerians.
Below are some of the reactions from Nigerians;

Why I see some ladies giving poverty as a reasons for prostitution I wonder if they’ve met women like you. This is one of the many pictures I see that makes me proud of what my gender is becoming.

But when I look around I see more females going into prostitution , even as young as 13yrs. I give kudos to those who are able to keep their dignity and do a honest job
