Santa Claus is one experience we only get to enjoy during Christmas. Nigerians, however, have an all-season and always-available Santa who comes bearing gifts all the time! His name is Asherkine!
Akinyemi Oluwaseun Omotayo popularly known as Asherkine, is a 26-year-old Nigerian YouTuber, content creator, and philanthropist from Lagos State, Nigeria.
Asherkine created a niche for himself by leveraging the power of social media to spread positivity, optimism, and a sense of community online.
With over 1 million followers on Instagram, the content creator takes to the streets to engage with random people while offering them the most amazing experiences of their lives.
From taking random people on shopping sprees to offsetting the bills of service users to gifting the not-so-privileged Nigerians who are most affected by the biting economic crisis in the country, Asherkine is the gift that keeps on giving!
The most recent gesture by the content creator that caused him to trend on X for almost two days is his encounter with a student of Lagos State University, Joseph, whom he randomly approached.
In his usual way, he asked, “Which would you rather pick? N20k or a mystery adventure?”. If you guessed Joseph picked the mystery adventure option, then you are correct!
It was Joseph’s luck day as this ‘mystery adventure’ was definitely an adventure! Asherkine treated him to a spa session, a luxury barbing experience, lunch at an exquisite restaurant, shopping at a fashion store, and even an exclusive meet and greet with Nigerian singers, L.A.X and Balloranking!
Asherkine is proof that social media can also be a tool for positivity and love!
Watch carefully while taking a stroll on the streets! You could run into Asherkine and get your own goodies from the North Pole!
