"All those content creators from Nigeria who called saying you wanted to do a video. I did the video but after the video, I have not heard from you guys. I read somewhere that people had paid 50 million naira and donated to Albert. I want to say this - no content creator from Nigeria has sent money. They got mad at me accusing me of not helping them to see the boy. That is not the case."

Reactions to Nana Baffour's comments on Albert

Social media users who took to the comments section of the video have shared their views on the disclosure of Albert Nketia's situation.

Prince Kay Billz commented:

"Nana Baffour dont stress yourself with those people saying that is not the boy, see if help will come to that kid of a star it will come without all these stress, most of these people saying that is not the kid, deep down within their heart know that’s the kid but just because they don’t have any help or whatsoever to render that needy kid they are just giving flimsy excuses but don’t worry help is coming."

Pablo Della replied:

"I trust he gets the necessary support for medical attention."

Ama Afro Kwabi wrote:

"This is my little opinion. It seems the only support worth mentioning is the financial aspect. Which I disagree with and kind of deter people from helping. If you require genuine support from people let’s first take the fact that his video went viral because there are several others too."
