According to the mum, if Oreofeoluwa is not in school, he will be playing football or riding his bicycle. Oreofeoluwa’s mother said their lives have changed since the video went viral, adding that she has met people she never thought she could meet or talk to.

When asked to comment on his new endorsement, Oreofeoluwa said, “Before you buy land in Abuja, calm down and come to T Pumpy Estate, the developer that cares and your future is ensured.”

Recall that Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had requested to meet with the boy when the video went viral as he borrowed the words of the boy asking Lagosians to calm down as they celebrated the Sallah holiday.

The governor had since met with the boy and his parents.
