The post which went viral got a lot of reactions including how the lecturer made some much money even as the ASUU strike was recently called off.

Reacting to the allegation, Olawuyi in a tweet wrote: “My attention has been drawn to a tweet circulating that I gave $100 each to 10 students. This is not in any way true. Please kindly disregard."
