Femi Otedola, one of Nigeria richest men and top philanthropist donated 5 billion Naira (on Sunday, November 10, 2019, at a ceremony organized by the Cuppy Foundation in Abuja) to the Save the Children Fund, which is one of the most single and largest individual donation to charity in Nigeria’s history.

What People Said About Femi Otedola's Donation to the Save the Children Fund:

Nigeria Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo said it is “the single largest donation to philanthropy in the country.”

Reno Omokri: “Femi Otedola has just put the billionaires of the North East to shame. Where are the Indimis, the Mai Deribe family and other oil billionaires from the North East? Google their names and some of the first pictures you will see are of their children in private jets marrying President’s children and displaying obscene wealth while surrounded by extreme poverty. It took a Good Samaritan stranger to do what the natives of the North East failed to do! Shame on them and God bless the talakawa that they have refused to look after.”

Femi Otedola would probably be most remembered for his acts of philanthropy in the long run, that is his social entrepreneurship, the readiness with which he offers a helping hand.
