The former Chicken Republic security guards Happie Boys, who were offered a scholarship to further their education abroad, cry out online over their current condition in Cyprus.
Recall that in late 2022 the two young boys, Matthew Precious Kelechi and Amakor Johnson became internet sensations after a video of them dancing on duty in their security uniforms went viral.
Following reports that they were sacked by their employer Chicken Republic over the video, they received public sympathy and were awarded a fully-funded scholarship, alongside their manager Caleb, to study abroad by philanthropist Apostle Chinyere Chibuzor of Omega Power Ministries (OPM).
However, in a surprising development, the boys revealed in a post shared on their official Instagram page that they were only able to attend school for six months before being forced to drop out due to a lack of sponsorship.
The boys claimed that finding a job in Cyprus is very difficult, and the cost of living in the country is extremely high.
They also shared their alleged conversations with Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere, where they requested money from him multiple times, but he either claimed to be broke or ignored their messages.
Their post reads, “We want to use this medium to thank each and everyone of you out there more especially my fans, family & @papa.opm who helped us fly abroad to school which we are so grateful!!
“After GOD used @gossipmilltv to show the world our inbuilt talent from GOD & we’re forever grateful to GOD for looking after us, sustaining and providing for us for the past 8 months which the scholarship lasted for only 6 months and us who didn’t come from rich homes dropped out from school because is very hard for anyone to get a job here in Cyprus!
“Ask @ogenecyprus .. Living in the country became so expensive but GOD in heaven is seeing his children through!! “Let Love Lead” Who no go no know! #happinessisfree”.

@cynthia.uchendu: “Anybody that offers to help will definitely stop somewhere, it’s your duty to keep going you don’t need to sound or act as if anybody owes you anything, someone that has today might lack tomorrow and he won’t kill himself for anybody because his intentions are pure, he didn’t do wrong by helping you guys taking two full grown men and seeing to their responsibilities ain’t child’s play, so instead of showing his chats to the world which is so wrong, why not hustle your way out both of you? Are you people in kindergarten? Posting his chat is wrong please and the way you bought flaunts yourselves over there can even scare your helper, even heard u guys started taking weeds. Abeg comot for my front.
@real_nancy_bae: “My own is that you guys changed, maybe that’s why he decided to leave you guys. Immediately you guys reach Cyprus, una burst ear, draw tattoo started clubbing. I’m not saying is bad thing cause me lI have tat. But this is a man of God for Christ sake, and he might be angry with you guys but don’t want to tell you, and maybe he wants you guys to come back to nigeria, make una mama no go blame him for taking you guys out and now you guys are living wayward. If to say na una carry una hand commot, una fit do anything you want to do”.
