Reality show star and millionaire heir Kiddwaya of Big Brother Naija is facing criticism for allegedly trying to solicit money from Nigerians.
According to the Naijatrial, Kiddwaya began collecting donations for the Benue massacre victims on Wednesday through his non-governmental organisation.
In an appeal that was published on X, Kiddwaya pleaded with the public to contribute any amount they could, ranging from 500 to half a million Naira. In order to ensure that individuals impacted have access to food, housing, and vital support, the Kiddwaya Foundation is actively raising funds. Rest assured, we are utterly dependent on your assistance.
Due to his habit of flaunting his fortune and extravagant lifestyle on the internet, his pleas for donations were met with criticism. In response to the backlash, Kiddwaya removed the popular post from his Facebook.
Over 200 people were killed in an attack in the Yelewata community in Benue State on Friday night or Saturday morning by Fulani herdsmen, according to the Naijatrial.
Here are a few responses: It was unexpected to see Kiddwaya attempting to defraud Nigerians, as @itsoyin put it. It is a difficult time for Nigerians.
“It’s touching, really,” @ArakunrinSugar wrote. An individual who possesses sufficient funds to light cigars using hundred-dollar bills has all of a sudden realised the significance of community fundraising. That is truly admirable. There is no country like Nigeria, where the well-off give while the underprivileged foot the bill.
If there’s ever an occasion to flaunt his fortune and lavish lifestyle, Kiddwaya will be the one to do it, as @Ndubuisi_23 put it. However, Kiddwaya would require donations of N500 and N500k in order to aid the people of Benue.
Kiddwaya, the wealthy pikin, asks for a general gift for Benue while living the high life, as @AndyjnrUmaru put it. We still receive a lot of things that we don’t fully comprehend. Truth will ultimately triumph.
