Some pictures went viral on social media yesterday where a young guy was spotted in tattered outfit as he begs people for alms on the road. Some people thought the guy was a mad man and many people pitied it for his condition. He became the cynosure of eyes yesterday and people could not stop talking about him. Some people were totally confused because the guy looks so much like he was mad but after so many findings, I have finally identified who this young man is and the actual reason why he pulled that public stunt.
This young man goes by the name ‘Onyeka Crecentz’ on his Facebook profile and he is an undergraduate student of Federal Polytechnic Oko. There is a tradition in almost all higher institutions in Nigeria knonw as ‘Rag Day’. It is done in many Nigerian Universities, Colleges and Polytechnics. Students dress in hilarious way and sometimes like someone who has mental disorder and storm the street begging for alms. The main purpose behind this Rag Day is to gather money and then, use the money to assist the less-privileged including those with Mental or Physical Challenges.
The Students of Federal Polytechnic Oko had their ‘Students Week’ which included different activities like Rag Day, Cultural Day amongst others. During their rag day, a particular student stood out of others as he literally took his own ragging to a different level that made people find it hard to tell if he is a mad man or just a costume.
The costume looks so convincing on him that it resulted into argument between many people and some still can’t believe that he is not mad but, in case you have been involved in such argument or convinced otherwise, the truth you should know is that the young man is sound and healthy. He is the Sports Director in his school and there is nothing wrong with him.
The young man participated in the Rag Day for the fun of it. No matter how convincing the costume looks on him, the man is not a mad man. He has now become a viral sensation and many people are talking about him on social media. He truly took his own ragging to a different level and it wowed so many people.
