We want to raise 15 million to support NCDC and people who have been hit by the economic situation caused by this pandemic. All I need is 60 people. So I’m going to test the waters by challenging @iamelpresidente @beardxbutter @tokemakinwa and @georgeokoro to donate 250k each (that’s already 1,250,000 including mine). If they accept my challenge then I’m confident others will. So by close of business today I’ll challenge others starting from @ruthobih (lol), so be prepared. PS: If you guys accept, I’ll need you to make a video accepting it and challenging 5 to 10 other people. We can do this guys
