May Edochie, Nigerian social media influencer, businesswoman, and the ex-wife of Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, recently turned a new age. In her tradition, she tried celebrating her birthday with some less privileged people in Lagos.

Clips making the rounds online have shown May Edochie and her team arriving at the famous Lagos slum, Makoko, to meet with some elderly and depraved women.

However, things didn’t go as planned, and people from May Edochie’s team spoke to the elderly women harshly.

Pay N2m or go away

According to a report by Azuka Ogujiuba, the leaders of the Makoko community demanded that May Edochie pay N2m before she was allowed to meet the less privileged elderly women.

It was reported that the steep demand caused some May Edochie’s team members to lash out at the elderly women.

This is not the first time May Edochie has chosen to celebrate her birthday with some underprivileged persons.

The outreach to Makoko is also the second anniversary of her charity foundation, May Oasis.

Below are clips from the outreach:
