Popular Twitch streamer and internet personality Kai Cenat has made another trip to Lagos, Nigeria, drawing fresh attention to his long-standing pledge to build a school for underprivileged children.
Cenat arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Wednesday to a lively reception that included a traditional band performance.
Videos of the welcome quickly circulated online, sparking conversations among fans and observers across social media platforms.
This visit comes almost a year after his first journey to Nigeria, during which he announced plans to commit $5 million to an educational project aimed at children from Makoko, the waterfront community widely known for its floating settlements. After the announcement, the initiative faced setbacks due to challenges around land ownership and regulatory approvals in Makoko.
Given the area’s unique geography, the project was later restructured, with the proposed school relocated to Yaba, a more accessible and stable part of Lagos. Cenat has repeatedly assured the public that, despite the change in location, children from Makoko will still benefit from free education once the school opens.
During his Mafiathon 3 livestream, Cenat provided an update on the project, revealing that more than $1 million has already been secured. He explained that the funds would be deployed in stages, emphasising sustainability and long-term impact rather than rushing the construction process.
His return has generated renewed excitement among Nigerian supporters, many of whom see the visit as a sign that the project may finally gain momentum. However, sceptics online continue to demand tangible progress on the ground, along with clearer timelines for completion.
Cenat’s visit also follows closely on the heels of another high-profile trip to Nigeria by American streamer IShowSpeed, who toured Lagos just weeks ago, attracting large crowds and viral attention. Together, the visits underscore Nigeria’s growing appeal within global streaming and digital culture.
As Cenat settles back into Lagos, public attention is once again fixed on whether this second visit will lead to concrete action on one of the most talked-about philanthropic promises tied to the country in recent times.
