In the lively streets of Lagos, where hustle and drama go hand in hand, one character has taken the internet by storm: Lekki Streetboy.

This self-proclaimed “President of Abegistan” is trending again after a fresh video where he boldly shows off stacks of cash, proudly calling himself Nigeria’s richest beggar.

Lekki Streetboy (real name reportedly Dayo Keshengo) first blew up with his fearless begging videos aimed at celebrities and big shots around Lekki. He’s no ordinary roadside beggar — you’ll find him in high-end clubs and events, spending big money just to get close to the rich and famous.

In one viral clip, he openly admitted dropping ₦200,000 to ₦400,000 in a single day on expensive drinks (like ₦70k shots of Azul), entry fees, and outfits — all so he could position himself to beg. “I spend people’s salary just to meet celebrities and beg,” he said in Pidgin. “You think this is ordinary poor man begging?”

Surprisingly, his wild approach is working. He’s received big gifts, including $5,000 from Davido and support from others like Uncle Soso. Back in October 2025, he claimed he made over ₦11 million from begging in just three months, putting his net worth above ₦20 million. He was even gifted a brand new 2023 KIA, then later returned to social media begging for fuel money — classic Lekki Streetboy energy.

In his latest video, he’s inside his apartment surrounded by luxury, flaunting thick bundles of naira notes. The reactions poured in: some people were shocked and amused (“Begging pays this much??”), while others laughed and said, “Omo, God dey for everybody oo — even beggar!”

While many see him as a street-smart genius who turned begging into a personal brand, others find his cash-flaunting risky and ironic for someone still calling himself a “street boy.” His lifestyle has sparked big debates online. Supporters praise his hustle and resilience in hard times, but critics worry he’s sending the wrong message to young people by glorifying begging over real work.

Love him or hate him, Lekki Streetboy keeps winning in the spotlight. From chasing celebrities for handouts to living large, his story perfectly captures the wild mix of street survival, celebrity culture, and social media fame in today’s Nigeria.
