Nigerians question the fundraiser
While some social media users showed sympathy, many others raised concerns about the legitimacy of the appeal. Several commenters argued that a fundraiser of this nature should come directly from the family or from a recognised traders' association, not from a third-party posting account details online.
Here is the Instagram post about the fundraiser from a businesswoman about Blessing Orji:

"allow the family do this officially Una too do." Another user, Officialvee_5, questioned whether the family was even aware of the donation drive and why a personal phone number was included.
Lilian Lewy raised the alarm about multiple platforms running similar collections, writing:
"How many platforms are doing this contribution..is best this things is done properly well..if possible...by the family or the traders associations..."
Not everyone was critical, however. SLAY WITH IZZY GRACE pushed back against the sceptics, writing:
"una, too dey ask questions if u want support support."
One commenter who identified as a family member also weighed in.
