friends are. All of my friends one one million Naira. They said we are 30BG. If
you don’t send your own. You out of here. You are gone (sic).”

than one hour after asking colleagues for N1m. So far, the pop star has gotten

and Femi Otedola. The singer, however, did not disclose the amount sent to him
from the likes of Femi Otedola, Obi Cubana, E-Money, Patoranking, and some
others.
