A Nigerian student, known on TikTok as @whisky_dennis, has shared a poignant and emotional video detailing the severe challenges he's been facing during his academic journey at Niger Delta University. His heartfelt plea for assistance has resonated deeply with a caring online community.

In the viral video, @whisky_dennis can be seen tearfully addressing the camera, courageously unveiling the overwhelming difficulties he has encountered since his admission to the university. His poignant testimony revealed that he lacks immediate family support, as his father has passed away, and his mother earns a livelihood as a farmer, leaving him without financial or emotional backing.

"Since I came to this school, things have been so hard for me. Nobody to help me. My dad is late. My mum is a farmer. No family. No friends. I'm dying. I've been starving for weeks. I'm dying," reads the caption that accompanied the video.
