Scovia Alum, a popular TikToker from Agago District in northern Uganda, has received an unexpected offer of a brand-new car from Russian influencer Victoria Bonya after sharing a video about learning how to drive.
Alum, who reportedly has more than three million followers on TikTok, caught Bonya’s attention through the video. The Russian influencer was impressed enough to leave a comment that quickly attracted attention from Alum’s followers and other social media users.
“I love you! Can I buy you a car???” Bonya wrote in the comment, leaving many people wondering whether she was serious or simply making a playful statement.
However, what initially appeared to be a casual social media comment reportedly developed into a genuine offer. Bonya has offered to buy Alum a new Suzuki Fronx, a compact crossover vehicle estimated to cost about Shs90 million in Uganda.
The offer has sparked excitement among Alum’s fans, many of whom have followed her journey as she shares moments from her daily life online. Her driving lessons have now attracted attention beyond Uganda, creating an unexpected connection with an international celebrity.
For Alum, the offer is a remarkable surprise, especially because it came from someone she had never met in person. The development has also highlighted how social media can connect content creators with people from different countries and open doors to unexpected opportunities.
Bonya’s reported gesture has received positive reactions online, with several social media users praising her generosity. Others have congratulated Alum and expressed excitement about the possibility of seeing her receive the vehicle as she continues learning to drive.
However, the exact date for the handover of the Suzuki Fronx has not yet been confirmed. CampusBee reported that it had reached out to Alum for a comment, leaving her followers waiting for further details about the offer and when the car might be delivered.
