Guys its even N5. 4m cos two people are having difficulty in sending cos of network
For a few days now, I have been kinda worried cos for the last few years, I’ve been raising good sums on my birthdays for widows
Last year, I raised N6m and gave out N500k to each widow
That year, I had over 10,000 people on my WhatsApp network
So it was very easy I could have hit N10m sef, I cut it off very abruptly from excitement
So this year, WhatsApp messed up. They barred me, and by the time I came back, I had lost my broadcast list
My broadcast list is a group of my contacts that I had grouped into my own personal market
Each group had 250 people, and I had over 25 such groups, and if you also add other groups like estate, alumni, politics, etc, I was reaching over 10,000 people on just one broadcast
If 5% of that figure closes, there is nothing I cannot sell in this world
These 10,000 people are made up of different income and social brackets who know me personally, and I know them personally
They love me, I love them, and consider them my friends
Some find me irritating and annoying and have blocked me, and I’ve left them
I had grown the market such that even if I lost 1,000 in one day, I would still be ok
Then I lost 7,000 in one day. The thing just restricted me for 24 hours, and the WhatsApp support told me that it was either I was sending spam or someone reported me
Well, when I came back, I had lost my market. No broadcast list
So I started rebuilding and have hit only 3,000, hence my lack of confidence as I move towards this exercise
Let me state something, though. I regained almost 100% of my billionaire friends, and they have stood by me, coughing up about N120m for Zik and Obey, which is happening this August in London
So I was not expecting them to come again at this ‘little matter of widows
But I was wrong. The pre-announcement last Thursday threw up N600k, and I set my target at N2m
When I woke up, I threw up the video, and the contributions started trickling in, and by 10am, I had hit N2m
Then I posted the video of me crying to Pastor Rapus shekere, and he reached out – Edgar, send your account, and then Pastor Itua also sent for my account and from there it started flying
Ogbechie landed N1m, and as if they were waiting, the bundles of N500k started rolling in like dice on a table
I had a lot of N200k. The average donation was N200k, pushing the targets to areas I didn’t think
A new grouping emerged this year – High-powered Widows
They formed a key grouping in the N200k – N500k bracket
They threw in so much that I can say they made up over 30% of the donations
Now let me address an issue. When that stupid Awala called me a con-man, I lost it and wanted to go for his jugular
Now calling me a con-man went straight at my engine room – my integrity
What would make Nigerians send N5m to me based on a WhatsApp request if it is not integrity and goodwill
So when a cross-eyed fool aims at that and fires, if I don’t push back aggressively, he could sow a seed of doubt in some minds
Thankfully, nobody in my market took him seriously, as you can see from today
What I have going for me is my integrity, goodwill, compassion and willingness to show my vulnerability and also my willingness to cry ur cry with u if I can
These pull people to support and feel ur pain and share in your vision
Today, I have once again shown that Nigerians really are our brothers’ keepers with the right ingredients
This night, 53 – yes, 53 cos as I was writing, one new N100k entered- widows will kneel and raise their voices to the Lord and say God bless Edgar and his friends
What other kind of prayers do we need at this time
I really am very, very grateful to all donors. God bless u all. This was all about you and not me; I was just the convener. You did it, especially the lady who gave me her N5k. God will reward her
For those who could not, don’t worry, God is on your side. You will be major donors in the shortest possible time
He sees our heart, I tell you.
Kai, should I wank this night? Would it spoil everything?
Don’t come and beat me o it’s my birthday
Duke of Shomolu
