topeorekoy: See what OJB posted on his twitter page-

Dear supporters of #saveOJB, at this time I cannot confirm if Gov. Rotimi Amechi has approved the needed $100k for OJB's kidney transplant.

I really don't want to sound unsympathetic to this
man's plight, but there's just a few nagging doubt
about all this.

How much has he realized out of the 16M? How
much more does he need?

I saw a #saveojb posters everywhere with a UBA
account number of OJB. Basically for anonymous
donations from well meaning nigerians and fans.
I'm sure lot's of people (home and abroad)
donated. How much did it all come to? P square
alone donated 5M plus other celebrities donated
some few millions here and there even the ones
that strictly want to be anonymous about it.
How much has he gotten? How much more does
he still need? But no one will ever know since
except for the celebrities that publicly declared, all the money goes straight the sick man's account.

This looks like an opportunity OJB is trying to milk not just for getting well but in putting his life back together. He should stop playing his life as an auction and take the money he already got to start the medical procedures. It'll be a real pity if he keeps up this pity show and dies in the process.

xynerise: Vote for him and I will PM his mobile phone number

rhowly: I remember at some point in our home the fridge had an electrical problem and my mum got shocked. After that day instead of repairing the fridge, she made sure never to open it...even wen we outside the house she would call. "wat about that backyard I told u to clean" my response...."mummy I did that yesterday" and she already knew....only to ask "eh oya give me water from the fridge".

ogugua88: [size=13pt]No. I'm convinced that whatever knowledge Nigerians have of the US, especially in the village, is that people go abroad and pick money from money trees. A very bad preconceived notion of "everyone who is abroad is wealthy". I'll speak for myself. When we went home, our relatives, particularly those in the village, literally folded their hands and made us do and pay for everything. No hospitality; we stayed in a hotel. There was never any food. If we were lucky, we'd eat twice a day: breakfast at the hotel, and then a snack very late at night, at the hotel. If there was food at my grandfather's compound, it was paid for by my parents and prepared by us. Anything and everything, they demanded that we pay for it. The only person that had her arms open for us was my dad's distant cousin. His siblings got jealous, put their heads together and got four chickens for us to use to cook ofe akwu.

Another example. My parents went home last year to bury my maternal grandfather. Within 10 days of their arrival, they ran out of cash. She and her relatives decided which drinks and such would be provided at the burial. When it was time to pay, they all said they couldn't afford it and looked at my parents.

If anything, I've come to realize that diasporans are making their relatives back home lazy. The kind of lies and sob stories relatives tell to get their loved ones to send cash. A lot of potential for fiction authors in the village. O di egwu.[/size]

userlist: If you guys are so good back how come
your president and other government officials come here
all the time begging for our expertise and to come develop Nigeria.
Our Remittance that provide food and foreign exchange for y'all
back home is only second to what Nigeria realize from oil export each year.

Remember Bianca Ojokwu, she was made Special Assistant to GEJ on Diaspora matters.
Grow up guys

Eko Ile: Is my personal orientation the people you voted for, elected and appointed to run your country?

Is my personal orientation responsible for maintenance of public facilities in Abuja?

Is my personal orientation collecting tax payers money just to sit on my asss and do nothing?

Is my personal orientation responsible for your stolen funds stashed in my personal orientation pocket?



Dullardism is definitely a terrible disease...

Amya: Scared to love again. So scared to be caught in the loop of a vicious cycle.

dmcdad: What are you scared of if I may ask?
