‘How did he get the money?’ — reactions trail Seyi Tinubu’s N500m donation to Maiduguri flood victims

Published

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the donation of N500 million by Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, to flood victims in Maiduguri, Borno state.

Seyi made the donation during a visit to Babagana Zulum, the governor of Borno, alongside his brother and friends at the government house, Maiduguri, on Friday.

 

He said the visit was the “first step” towards ameliorating the plight of over 400,000 persons displaced by the flood.

 

While some X users appreciated him for the donation, others questioned the source of the money.

 

 

Below are some of the reactions on X.

I saw a report earlier today stating that Seyi Tinubu donated over 500 million to the Borno State government following the flood incident. My concern is: what does he do for a living? We should be asking these questions because 500 million is a huge amount of money.

Seyi Tinubu visits Maiduguri and donates over N500 million to flood victims and I ask as who?

The gesture from Seyi is good but the amount donated is outrageous. The highest a whole State has donated is 100m. Atiku – 100m; Peter Obi – 50m. But Seyi and Remi Tinubu coming to donate 500m each says a lot about how the family has been exposed to public funds over the years

But where dem see such huge amount of money?
Imagine tinubu son’s donating 500m naira for just flood victims how much do you think their dad have?
Hmmm

Though the news says

Seyi Tinubu who was accompanied by his brother, friends and associates made a huge donation worth over ₦500m on behalf of his friends and associates

It wasn’t only Seyi making that donation

That is so kind of him, but I see all these things as playing to the gallery maybe he want to contest for an election in tye future .

He could easily use that money to empower 500 Yoruba youths in business cos I think enough money has been donated already

Even his father has…

Seyi donation feels more like a PR move than genuine help. Let’s be real-where did he even get that kind of money? Meanwhile, the government’s neglect and corruption are the real reasons we’re facing these floods in the first place.

A fat check doesn’t solve the issue. If they…

How did he made the N500 million to donate. Which job or business is he doing to Donate half a billion Naira?

The other time I asked I was attacked.

Who is bankrolling these people?

Whose funds are they donating?

Do you all know what 500M means?

— North Star (@echoeofself) September 21, 2024

 

That’s the problem with Nigeria clueless politicians & their litters. The money that should be given to experts in a particular field in a timely manner for research, mitigation, & pro-activity solutions are thrown around for gaslighting, especially when it’s already late.

Commendable God bless everyone donating to the people of Maiduguri…saw people sleeping on the main road because they have no homes again….
I only pray the government of that state use that money judiciously and work fast to alleviate this suffering fast

In a world where birthdays are often marked by glittering parties and exclusive guest lists, Zaynab Otiti Obanor chose a different path—one paved with compassion, empathy and an uncommon milk of human kindness.

For Zaynab, philanthropy is not a seasonal obligation or a public relations gesture; it is a way of life. True to her enduring spirit of generosity, she marked her birthday not with chandeliers and champagne, but with open arms and a giving heart—celebrating with the needy, the forgotten and the vulnerable.

From distributing food items and essential supplies to sharing warm embraces and reassuring words, she turned what could have been a private celebration into a communal blessing. For many beneficiaries, her presence was more precious than the gifts she brought. She did not merely give; she connected. She listened. She cared.

Those who know her say this is vintage Zaynab—graceful yet grounded, elegant yet empathetic. A woman who understands that true royalty is not defined by status but by service. In her quiet but impactful way, she continues to demonstrate that the greatest wealth one can possess is a generous spirit.
