In a tweet addressed to Uganda Martyrs University lecturer Jimmy Spire Ssentongo, Wandulu shocked netizens by offering to sell his kidney in order to alleviate his financial burdens.
“Hello Spire, help me advertise my kidney for sale to whoever is willing so I can settle my financial constraints. I am a Ugandan living in Mbale aged 24,” Wandulu’s tweet read.
The tweet sparked a flurry of reactions from Twitter users, with many expressing concern and offering alternative solutions to Wandulu’s dire situation. One user, @AbrahamicMEN, extended a helping hand by offering to teach Wandulu phone repair for free, providing him with an alternative source of income.
