Nigerian content creator, Stephen Muoka, aka Mr. Eluu P, who rose to popularity after his comedic vote counting for the Labor Party in the presidential election, has revealed that he has received big bucks from Nigerians.
During an interview with The Punch, he said he’s been getting a lot of attention as a result of his actions and has also received donations from various people.
In his words;
“Many persons sent me money, and they said I should not mention it. In total, I got about N300,000. I have plans for the money. I am trying to sustain my fame. Also, I want to further my education. Before the ‘Eluu P’ video, I was working as a mechanic, fixing automobiles.
The video was recorded at Onu Orei Amechi Road, Topland, Enugu State. That was where my polling unit was. The Labour Party won that polling unit. I was not the one who recorded the video. One of my friends, Kachi, did. He put the video on TikTok. It was from there that a popular blogger, Tunde Ednut, picked it. From there, the video went viral. I did not even know that my friend was recording me. It was after the video went viral that I got to know about it.”
When asked if the Labor party candidate or members of his team had come forward, he said;
“Not yet, but I desire to meet Peter Obi one day. I have a hundred percent hope that one day, I would meet him.”
The video made me very popular and I feel so happy about that. I did not know that it would go viral, considering that I did not tell anyone to record me in the first place. So many people have appreciated me so far. They said I put smiles on their faces again when they felt there was no hope. However, their spirits were lightened with the ‘Eluu P’ video.”
