Woman got help
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a young Nigerian content creator on Facebook, Timi Agbaje, gave an update on a woman who funnily refers to herself as Swagga Mama.
In an interview in December 2021, the woman mumbled all her words together as she tried hard to sound elitist with her funny accent.
Days after the interview that same year, the man returned with the good news that someone gave her N50,000 for Christmas.
