mvpbymrsjay said:
"Thank you @luckyudu for fishing out these legends!!! Yesterday, it was Papa Ajaccio, today is Pa James, tomorrow should be for Miss Pepeye aka Pepisco and the day after should be for Boy Alnico."
It could become a trend
According to Kehinde Ajose, other veterans could follow Papa Ajasco's trend by going public to seek financial support.
"On the question of whether this could become a trend, the honest answer is yes .If we are not careful. Social media has given veteran celebrities a direct line to public sympathy, and sympathy, in Nigeria especially, moves fast.
The danger is that once people see it work, once the donations roll in and the attention peaks, others will follow, whether their situations are genuine or exaggerated. We have seen this pattern before in different forms," he said.

In a new video shared on Sunday, March 15, 2026, via Papa Ajasco and actress Liz Da Silva's Instagram pages, the actor shared his bank details to receive donations.
The caption of the video disclosed that Papa Ajasco needs a phone as the one used to create his Instagram page belonged to his daughter.
