Stephen Muoka, also known as Mr. Eluu P, a popular Nigerian content creator who gained recognition after his comical counting of Labour party votes during the presidential election, has revealed that he received a significant amount of money from Nigerians as a result of his newfound fame. In an interview with The Punch, Muoka stated that he has been receiving a lot of attention and donations from various people.
When asked about the amount of money he received, Muoka said, "Many persons sent me money, and they said I should not mention it. In total, I got about N300,000. I have plans for the money. I am trying to sustain my fame. Also, I want to further my education. Before the ‘Eluu P’ video, I was working as a mechanic, fixing automobiles." He went on to reveal that the video was recorded at Onu Orei Amechi Road, Topland, Enugu State, where his polling unit was located. He also clarified that he was not the one who recorded the video; it was one of his friends, Kachi, who uploaded the video on TikTok. The video then went viral after popular blogger Tunde Ednut picked it up.
Muoka expressed his gratitude for the support and recognition he has received from the video, stating that he had no idea it would go viral. He said, "The video made me very popular, and I feel so happy about that. I did not know that it would go viral, considering that I did not tell anyone to record me in the first place. So many persons have appreciated me so far. They said I put smiles on their faces again when they felt there was no hope. However, their spirits were lightened with the ‘Eluu P’ video."
When asked if any member of the Labour party reached out to him, Muoka revealed that they had not, but he hopes to meet with Peter Obi one day. He said, "Not yet, but I desire to meet Peter Obi one day. I have a hundred per cent hope that one day, I would meet him."
