In a video he posted, he said, “Barely 24 hours since I announced my NGO, if I tell you how much is in that account now, you would not believe it. First of all, shout out to all the people who have sent money, shout out to the people sending money. God will bless you.
“I saw the massive love and support when I started seeing amounts like N72, N100, N22, N50, N500. To be very honest, most of the money that was contributed was from N500 naira down. It means most of these people do not get it, but they want to support me. The love is massive.”
He expressed his gratitude to Nigerians who donated to his NGO, emphasising his unwavering commitment to the organisation’s mission of providing a solid educational foundation for children in public schools.
