Mukoro Ereremena Michelle, a.k.a. King Mitchy, is more than just a social media influencer; she is a philanthropist driven by a deep sense of purpose. Her journey began with hardship after losing her grandmother. “After I lost my grandmother, and my mum was schooling, my mum’s sisters started maltreating me. I wouldn’t eat before school, and they wouldn’t let me sleep on the bed. They would push me, and that’s why I ran away from home. I just started life in Lagos,” Mitchy revealed in an interview with Hip Tv.
Determined to rise above her past, she began using social media to shed light on the plight of those in slums and in need, creating a bridge between willing donors and those in need. “I cannot do it alone, and I have a lot of valuable people following my page who actually want to support but haven’t seen it. Some people will tell you that they haven’t really seen what a slum looks like. I just use footage as evidence for people who want to support.”
Her kindness caught the attention of notable Nigerians, including social media personality Tunde Ednut, who began supporting her efforts without any prior connection. Another pivotal supporter is Seyi Tinubu, son of Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Recalling their first interaction, Mitchy shared, “When he messaged me and said, ‘Mitchy, this is my number, call me,’ he trusted me with 20 million naira that same day and sent them in two batches. He felt that this girl will do the job, and that’s why he kept coming back for me to do jobs like that.”
Mitchy’s philanthropic drive isn’t fueled solely by external contributions. “I own a restaurant, and there was a time any money I made from sales, I gave it out,” she disclosed.
