Femi Otedola Donates N5 Million and Scholarships to Quadruplet Family
Femi Otedola, the renowned billionaire businessman, has extended a generous gift to the family of Sodiq Olayode, who recently welcomed quadruplets.
Otedola’s philanthropy through the Femi Otedola Foundation (FOF) has led to a significant donation of 5 million Naira to support the Olayode family.
Additionally, the foundation has committed to providing scholarships for two of the quadruplets, covering their education up to the university level.
This act of kindness follows a social media appeal from James, a friend of Sodiq, who highlighted the family’s urgent need for financial help.
The appeal garnered widespread attention, resulting in donations surpassing 14 million Naira from various individuals.
On Monday, Philip Akinola, representing the Femi Otedola Foundation, presented the cheque of 5 million Naira to the Olayodes. Otedola’s well-known commitment to charitable causes and support for individuals in need prompted his intervention after learning about the family’s situation.
In response to this generosity, Abiodun Olayode, the mother of the quadruplets, expressed her hope that First Lady Remi Tinubu would also offer support.
She emphasized the critical importance of education for her children and shared her personal challenges, noting that she had only planned for one child but was now caring for four. Abiodun’s plea was a heartfelt request for additional assistance to help secure her children’s future.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
