The man in one of the most widely used crying memes on Nigerian social media, whose picture has been spread rapidly by Internet users, has spoken out.

Oladee, a student of the University of Ilorin, says he was surprised and is yet to understand how his picture surfaced on the Internet.

The ‘StickerHeadBoy’ in an Instagram video posted on Tuesday said he is speaking out following questions by many concerning what led to him displaying such a ‘wailing’ face.

Oladee said the incident took place a decade ago while he was at his grandmother’s house in the village.

Things were a bit tough at the time and putting food on the table was difficult, he said.

One day, his granny gave him N200 to buy garri for the day but instead of using that purpose, he and a friend sought means to double the money by playing a gamble (dice).

Unluckily for him, he ended up losing the entire money.

So the loss of the money made him cry with the hope that his fellow gamblers would have pity on him, perhaps give him some money back. Also, when he remembered the type of grandmother he had, he knew that there would be no food that day and even the following day.

All those factors made him put passion in the cry so as to evoke pity. “This is the reasons behind the tears,” he captioned the video.
