I Love To Think About The Needy – Femi Otedola

Days back, billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, shocked Nigeria by donating a whooping N5 billion to the Save the Children Foundation at his daughter, DJ Cuppy’s Gold Gala, in Abuja.

Sharing a recent video of his daughter, Tolani, Femi Otedola wrote this about the donation, “At the #CuppyGoldGala, my Daughter Tolani presented my donation of 5 Billion Naira ($14.5 million dollars) to Nigerian children. We must not only think of ourselves in this life, but of those who are in need …F.Ote.”

Congrats to the kids that will benefit from this.

Amazing.
