A Nigerian man living in the United Arab Emirates took to his Twitter page to ask for financial assistance to further his academics after it was revealed that he was offered five postgraduate admissions.

According to the man identified as Ola Balogun, he was given two Ph.D. and three master's admission.

Sharing a picture of himself with a placard, the young man appealed to the general public to come to his aid.

While some tweeps believed that his story is genuine, others were skeptical about the authenticity of his claims.
