A Nigerian professional boxer, Prince Bob Alagoro, has tearfully cried out for help over his inability to pay house rent, despite representing Nigeria and emerging champion in multiple competitions.
This is contained in a post shared via X (formerly Twitter) by user @General_Somto, which includes a video of the boxer narrating his current ordeal.
In the emotional clip, Alagoro, who identified himself as a professional boxer and West African champion, revealed that he is stuck in his current residence because he cannot afford rent, agreement, and agent fees.
He also expressed disappointment over being abandoned by his family, whom he claimed turned against him after he donated money to a motherless baby home.
His words: "My family hates me because of the money I donated to the motherless. I'm ashamed to bring this belt out."
"Sometimes, the money for the house rent would be complete in my hand, but the money for agreement and commission made me continue staying where I'm still staying"
"No boxer in Nigeria defeat me. I represented Nigeria in Burkina Faso, I became West African champion. I'm a professional boxer. My name is Prince Bob Alagoro."
As the video circulated online, concerned individuals flooded the comment section to share their thoughts and show support.
