When OJB turned to the general public for financial help (100,00
dollars) in order to pay his medical bills, he trusted that Nigerians
would answer. And answer they did.
A lot of individuals made
private donations to either of the 2 bank accounts (in his name) that
was provided. And not just ordinary Nigerians, we have heard that some
fellow entertainers came to his aid with the likes of Don Jazzy, D’Banj,
PSquare (who gave 5 million naira), etc donating to the loving and
humane cause of ensuring that OJB survives this trying period of his
life.
Considering that he asked for 100,000 dollars and has not
been clear with the public concerning how much he has raised, the public
do not know whether the expected figure has been reached or even
exceeded.
Today we have been told that the Rivers State governor
has donated the entire 100,000 dollars that the young man needs in one
lump sum.
So, the question arises, should OJB pull down his
banners and request cards for donations to him considering the amount of
money he has already received?
Now that he has gotten all these
money and in excess of what he asked for, should he return the rest to
the donors or better still find causes in Nigeria – people who need help
just like him, and hand the excess over to them because he did not earn
the money neither did he work for it. It is simply donations and you
are not meant to enrich yourself with donations.
I am not being
harsh on OJB simply because, Nigerians are always willing to help
whenever there is need and since we live in a society where people are
in constant need of help, those who have received what they asked for,
should clear the line for the numerous others who are in dire need of
help to receive help.
So now that OJB has received more than he
asked for, he needs to exhibit the same kindness and love he received
from others by making donations of the excess that he has received to
those people who need it all over the nation.
So, what would OJB do?
