The little girl identified as Success, became an internet sensation on Wednesday after a video of her reacting angrily to her ordeal went viral on social media.
In the video recorded by a neighbour, the
young girl said she would rather be flogged for non-payment of school
fees rather than sent away from school.
Her story went viral with AY and other celebrities requesting for information on how to locate her.
He wrote: Please who can locate this child for me? I will give her scholarship till she graduates from university.
Please anyone with useful information should contact me, THANK YOU He wrote.
AY, who had successfully reached the child
revealed that she reminded him of another young boy, Taju, whose life
improved after Nigerian celebrities came to his aid.
He also advised Nigerians to help little kids around them that are in similar situations.
Other Nigerian celebrities who were also moved by Successs story took to social media to react.

Toke Makinwa took to her Instagram page to explain that no child should be put under such pressure.
She
wrote I am so sick to my stomach watching this. No child should be put
under pressure; no child should be humiliated and made to suffer for
wanting a better life.
Since the video went viral on Instagram, a number of Nigerians have reacted in various ways.
Many people found the girls action funny while others were saddened that she would be denied an education over her parent.
In most Nigerian schools, fee defaulters are usually sent home after being flogged.
