Adisa Olashile who is serving the mandatory NYSC programme in Ibadan, revealed that he usually meet the older man called Baba Onilu at the local government office trying to entertain people with his drum and decided to take his picture. When he shared the picture on Twitter, people encouraged him to mint it as an NFT. Surprisingly, the picture minted on Opensea NFT Marketplace sold within hours for 0.3 Ethereum, close to $1000.

Following Adisa’s kind gesture, the moment has gone viral, doubling the number of his followers from 10 thousand to over twenty thousand.
