Man Shares Dream of Owning BMW Right After Raising ₦22M for Surgery
Just when everyone thought the story was wrapping up on a heartfelt note, a plot twist rolled in—with shiny rims and a BMW badge. A young Nigerian man, who recently rallied over ₦22 million for a much-needed leg surgery, surprised the internet with a bold declaration: before he leaves this world, he must own a pristine BMW.
This revelation popped up not long after his successful fundraising campaign. The man, who goes by @_belikebaddy on X (formerly Twitter), posted a sleek photo of a BMW and boldly declared his automotive ambition. While he did express gratitude to everyone who donated and confirmed his surgery would take place soon, it was his luxury car wish that really turned heads.
The timing of the post stirred up a flurry of comments. After all, emotions were still high from the two-week-long donation drive, which saw social media users come together to meet his medical needs. As expected, reactions ranged from amused to critical.
One commenter cheekily warned, “No go use your surgery money buy car.” Another quipped, “You have the money already, yunno,” suggesting the dream might be closer than people think. Some responses were more direct, cautioning him not to let the generosity extended for his health be rerouted to fulfill material desires.
Others, blending humor and honesty, offered a bit of life advice. One user said, “Take life one day at a time and focus on what is more important.” Another joked, “You need to raise more money to get a clean BMW. Maybe try selling your legs,” clearly not ready to let him off the hook so easily.
The underlying sentiment? People care—but they also expect a little discretion when it comes to public wishes, especially so soon after such an emotional plea.
While dreaming big is hardly a crime, especially after overcoming adversity, timing really is everything. For now, let’s hope @_belikebaddy gets the successful surgery he needs, and maybe one day, the keys to that dream ride—on a road paved with patience and proper planning.
