Those who are active social media users in the last decade must have definitely come across the viral photo of a young boy crying bitterly with mucus dripping from his nose.

Over the years, the photo has become a meme across social media platforms as users use it to illustrate their reactions to a post or poke fun at other social media users.

This viral meme is often used to depict the popular social media parlance “it will end in tears” but nobody seems to know the source of the photo.

Well, the boy now a young man behind the popular meme has revealed his identity.

Nosy netizens after bumping on his profile on social media have been asking him why he was crying in the viral meme.

After resisting the urge to tell the story for many years, the young man who is now a student of the University of Ilorin has shared the story behind the viral photo

In a video he uploaded on his Instagram page, @Oladee_officiall, he disclosed that he wept profusely on the day the photo was taken over  fears of what his grandmother was going to do to him after he gambled with the money she gave him to buy garri.
