Group Chairman, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc and Founder of the Tony Elumelu Foundation, Tony Elumelu has responded to an X user, who playfully asked to be adopted by him.
This comes after an X user identified as Stacy tweeted a question asking, “At your age, what is the perfect gift?”
In response, the user Banana humorously replied, “Adoption documents to Tony Elumelu’s family”.
Reacting, Elumelu via the comment section noted he already had a large family.
“Looool. With 7 children, can I add more?” he wrote, leaving it unclear whether he was open to the idea or simply joking.
Banana went on to add ‘Elumelu’ to his name on X and declared himself the billionaire’s “8th child”.
He also urged others to help tag Elumelu, writing, “Abeg make una help me tag uncle @TonyOElumelu I’m about to get a new affidavit tomorrow…changing my surname asap”.
“I’ve changed my bio to elumelu’s 8th pikin….I’ve considered myself adopted.”
