A popular Nigerian influencer has ignited a wave of admiration online after demonstrating remarkable transparency regarding funds donated for the medical treatment of a woman known as Aunty Esther.
Financial Transparency Goes Viral
The influencer, known as Dickson with the handle @Wizarab10 on X (formerly Twitter), shared concrete evidence of the money remaining from public donations intended for Aunty Esther's healthcare. His post, made on December 1, 2025, included screenshots showing the account balance specifically dedicated to her cause.
He revealed that the total amount left stood at a substantial ₦30,776,252. Dickson explained that a sum of ₦74,000 had been deducted from the donations to cater to a specific request from Aunty Esther for a particular type of soup, which is her preferred swallow food, including delivery costs.
Public Reaction to Accountability
The influencer's act of detailed financial stewardship resonated deeply with social media users, who flooded the post with commendations and prayers. Many highlighted how such a high level of accountability is rare and builds vital public trust in charitable endeavors.
User @RowlandOkwong commented, "Thank you boss for all you do...your sacrifices are beyond this world...may God continue to bless and keep you." Another user, @to37867_toyyib, noted, "This level of detailed financial transparency is both rare and commendable. It builds vital trust and shows true stewardship."
@AbiolaAdebisi7 added, "One thing that makes you stand out is your level of accountability, it is rare to get someone with detailed accountability in this part of the world." The praise underscored a public appetite for honesty in managing crowd-sourced funds.
Context and Related Developments
Aunty Esther's situation has been a subject of public interest and some controversy. Previously, it was reported that a fundraiser stepped down after Aunty Esther, citing religious beliefs, rejected a necessary blood transfusion. This decision led at least one supporter to stop his financial assistance, citing a lack of adherence to medical advice.
Despite this backdrop, the influencer's transparent update on the remaining funds shifted focus back to the collective effort to support her. The post also served to counter narratives that Aunty Esther might be misusing the donations, with supporters arguing that her need for proper nutrition is part of her overall care during a difficult health battle.
User @XboxUtd defended the expenditure, stating, "If that's the case come and swap what Aunty Esther is going thru... and be free from her pains while you inherit hers." Another user, @itzchristunique, emphasized, "deep down what she needs is bigger than this which is to win this battle."
The incident highlights the critical role of transparency in digital-age philanthropy and the powerful connection between social media influencers and community-driven support initiatives in Nigeria.
