Also, in the post the DMW boss stated that he will be giving out the entire money, 200 million naira, generated plus an extra 50 million naira to orphanages across Nigeria.
We would recall that the singer on Wednesday, 17th November, 2021 asked his friends and colleagues to send him money, and the money which has gotten to 200 Million naira, will be given all for charity.
In his post he said; “I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my friends, colleagues, fans, and the general public for the generous expressions of love in recent days.
“In my usual playful manner, I requested a few days ago that my friends and colleagues send money in celebration of my birthday. The response and outcome exceeded my expectations, as I received about NGN 200,000,000.00 in less than two days.
“I truly appreciate everyone who donated their hard-earned funds and I am very thankful for your generosity.
“I have always been passionate about giving back and helping people. In view of this, I am delighted to announce that all the funds received, totaling 200,000,000.00 naira will be donated to orphanages across Nigeria as well as the Paroche foundation.
“In addition, I will be making a personal donation of 50,000,000.00 naira bringing the total amount to 250,000,000.00 naira.
“To oversee the distribution of funds to beneficiaries, I have established a five-person Disbursement Committee. Members of the Committee include:
1. Mrs. Titi Adebayo- chairman of the committee
2. Professor Jonathan Nwosu- secretary to the committee
3. Professor Yahana Joel Asabe of the Northern Nigeria Seventh Day Adventist Union Conference
4. Pastor (Dr) Oyalabu of Spring Time Development Foundation.
5. Professor Uloma Onuoha
“The committee will compile a list of orphanage across Nigeria. They will determine the number of children and their needs at each orphanage, and then divide the funds accordingly.
“The committee will also determine the portion of the money that will be donated to Paroche foundation. To maintain transparency, the committee will make public the names of the beneficiary orphanages and how much each will receive.
“A list of all beneficiaries and their verified account details will be submitted to Wema Bank, who will then be instructed to credit each beneficiary’s account.
“My goal is to do this fundraising every year to celebrate my birthday and give back to people in need. It is my hope that my friends, fans, colleagues in the industry, and the public will continue to support me as I drive this cause.
“Once again, I express my sincere gratitude to my friends, colleagues, fans and everyone that made this possible. God bless you all.
“We rise by lifting others”, he added.
