Wisdom Alfred, widely known as Dr H2O, has appealed to Nigerians for another opportunity after losing a ₦15 million business investment from bottled water brand Aquafina.

Dr H2O rose to fame in 2023 when a video of him creatively hawking bottled water went viral, capturing social media’s attention. Impressed by his determination, Aquafina backed his business with ₦15 million worth of equipment and capital, including machines, a generator, and a freezer valued at ₦8 million.

In a recent video, he admitted to mismanaging the funds due to a lack of experience, explaining that it was his first time handling such a significant amount. Acknowledging his mistakes, he expressed deep regret and asked for forgiveness.

Dr H2O now seeks a second chance, emphasizing that errors are part of the learning process and pledging to do better if given another opportunity.
