‘I can’t explain how my N15m business crumbled’, says viral bottled water hawker, ‘Dr H20’, set up by Aquafina
Viral bottled water hawker, Wisdom Alfred, popularly known as Dr H20, has lamented that the N15 million business set up for him by bottled water company, Aquafina has collapsed.
He attributed the collapse to a spiritual attack, as he could not explain what happened.
Alfred first gained nationwide attention when a video of him passionately promoting Aquafina water at a bustling bus garage in Onitsha, Anambra State, went viral.
His energy and unique style of advertising drew admiration from people online, leading to the bottled water brand fully sponsoring his business with an investment worth millions of naira.
He was provided with equipment, including a motorcycle, a generator, and a freezer, worth N8 million, as well as additional capital, bringing the total investment to N15 million.
However, in a shocking twist of fate, Alfred revealed that despite the enormous backing, he could not account for any of the money.
Speaking in a now-viral interview, he explained that the business had collapsed mysteriously, and he believes the downfall was caused by spiritual forces.
“I lost everything. Unfortunately, I was attacked. The business was worth about N8 million — they bought machines, a generator, and a freezer. I even informed one of the supervisors assigned to me by the company that I could not account for the money,” he lamented.
Wisdom said he was initially baffled by the turn of events, as the business began to crumble without any apparent reason stating it was only after seeking spiritual guidance that he concluded that his misfortune was not natural.
“I believe I was attacked spiritually. It is the truth. In fact, I’m alive today by God’s grace. I can’t explain what happened. I bought land for just over N1 million, and that was the only personal investment I made. From May 2024, I stopped stocking goods. It was so bad that even when I made sales, I couldn’t account for the money,” he added.
He explained that despite making sales, he found himself unable to manage or track the income, leading to the business’s financial collapse. He admitted that the situation left him devastated and confused until he turned to spiritual solutions for answers.
“Until I went the spiritual way, I didn’t realize it was not natural,” he said.
Alfred shared that he had informed Aquafina’s management about the unfortunate circumstances but is yet to receive any response. Now, he is appealing to the company for a second chance to prove himself, expressing deep regret over the missed opportunity.
“I already told the management of Aquafina, but they are yet to get back to me. What I need now is a second chance. I am not proud of myself,” he said.
