A Nigerian family of 11 has received an outpouring of support after their difficult living conditions went viral on social media, with more than ₦1.1 million reportedly donated within 24 hours.

The family comprises a 32-year-old woman, her husband and their nine children, including three sets of twins. One of the children is currently staying in a different location.

According to information shared about the family, the husband is currently unemployed. He previously worked harvesting palm kernels, earning about ₦100 per kernel. He reportedly harvested about 20 trees daily, bringing in roughly ₦2,000 a day, before losing the source of income.

The family is said to be living in an incomplete house without doors and windows, while the children are reportedly not enrolled in school. The entire family also sleeps on the bare floor, highlighting the severity of their living conditions.

Following calls from members of the public, the couple have reportedly agreed to embrace family planning to prevent further pregnancies and focus on providing for their existing children.

The story has continued to attract attention online since it surfaced, with Nigerians and other well-wishers responding with financial assistance. Within just 24 hours, donations to the family had reportedly surpassed ₦1.1 million, offering a measure of hope amid their difficult circumstances.
