Just Heard The Best Bit Of News For 2019. Did Not Know When It Trended But A Man Who Made An Appeal For N15m To Treat His Baby Who Has Many Holes In The Heart Has Raised N70m In 48 Hours! Thank You, Real Nigerians.
Only yesterday, I was thinking to myself that there were two highpoints on Twitter for me in 2018. One was the impact which the #ENDSARS campaign led by @segalink had and @segunaeroland 's N1m medicare bailout for Bitrus (Sadiq Duba) in response to an appeal I made a day earlier
@segalink @segunaeroland At such times, I see a faint glimmer of hope for Nigeria if we somehow manage to hold onto the imperatives of our shared humanity. God bless all well-meaning Nigerians. Thank you for helping to keep someone's hopes alive
@segalink @segunaeroland BTW, that lucky man on whom God's favour just descended mightily launched that appeal on Twitter. It yielded fruit in a manner which no self-serving cleric could have managed despite their unending calls for us to "sow seeds" in their own ministries. Good morning all
Please people, let us never relent in supporting such good causes. Anyone could need this sort of lift at any time. N500 goes a long way if that is what you have got. May God empower the willing who are unable to give so that they too can chip in their bit
God has made us a multitude in this land of 203 million people. That means even on Twitter alone, whipping around for N500 only per head, just 200,000 people can raise a billion naira. All it takes is answering the call whenever we can.
For those of us who watched Cock Crow At Dawn on TV during the Shagari era, you probably recall Bitrus, Zemaye, Laure et al. Same Bitrus nearly died prematurely on account of failing health. He needed 10m naira to stay alive. It was done
Last I saw him on TV, he had bounced back..thanks to your goodness. I have never met Bitrus but recalled that they made us smile every Friday at 8:30pm back in the day..a very Nigerian Oscar-eligible performance we thought it was
God used you and men with big hearts such as @segunaeroland who alone chipped in a tenth of the required sum in response to my humble plea to keep Sadiq Daba alive. Your money shall always work for you and never go to waste. Keep being cheerful givers
