In summary, some kid named Ayodeji went on a ‘date’ with a lady named Ore. Turns out she wasn’t interested in a relationship and told him. The kid went on Twitter and started ranting that he took her out on a date, spent money and she still turned him down. Ore then dropped this tweet that we consider one of the greatest comebacks of all time.

She refunded him and asked him to keep the change. Everywhere scattered. Someone used the hashtag #KeepTheChangeBae, and the rest, as they say is history.
But here, starting with Wema bank (where the broke juvenile kid banks), we take a look at how brands joined the conversation and are flourishing with it.
1.
Wema Bank
The “broke ass nigga” banks with Wema, but instead of joining the kid in taking the L, the purple bank jumped on the conversation and have been trending since. Whoever is managing the account, well done. Big well done for seeing the opportunities and milking every bit of it. Don’t overdo it though.
You don't need the change to open an account with *945# today! #keepthechangebae #5kBae #Withyoualltheway

Quickteller
Payments platform – Quickteller facilitated the transaction and it was only right that they quickly jumped on it to sell their market.
We've been powering clapbacks for God knows how long. We are here for all those fund transfers. 5k, 3800, you name it.

Baton Nigeria
For those saying N3,800 is small money, Baton, makers of Nigeria’s finest toothpicks is here to tell you that it can give you a ONE YEAR supply of Baton Toothpicks, and still leave you with enough change.
If you say N3,800 is not a lot of money, we will say it can get you one year supply of the finest toothpicks and you can #KeepTheChangeBae. pic.twitter.com/DRp7bE5CuS

They also offered Ore a free Mani or Pedi session for ‘inspiring them’. Who saidsavagerybeing dope doesn’t pay?

First Bank
Wema bank is not the only bank that means business. First Bank noticed the transaction was done from a Firstbank account and jumped on the trend.

— FirstBank Nigeria ( @FirstBankngr) March 30, 2017
They offered Ore N5,000 (which we think is small), welcomed her to the FirstGem family (whatever that is) and are encouraging people to get FirstMonie, for easy transactions. First Bank is enjoying every bit of the mileage this thing is getting them, and that is perfectly okay.
We now pronounce @Missmoshikua #FirstGEM. Welcome to the FirstBank Family!!! #YouFirst #KeepTheChangeBaecc @IbukunAwosika @AAdeduntan pic.twitter.com/XdvuxmnWyc
