However, he decried the Lagos state government's inability to solely raise the funds, hence his decision to call on well meaning Nigerians to donate to the cause.

A day after making the pledge, the governor revealed that N250 million has been pumped into the fund as he released bank details to which well-meaning donors will deposit the remaining N1.75 billion for the victims of the Abule Ado explosion.

But Nigerian musician, Falz who believes that the state is financially buoyant enough to come up with the 2 billion naira called it a joke.

Falz, taking to his social media, wrote: "What kind of joke is this? Who are you asking to donate?"

Olga Allegra fires back at man who called Mikel Obi a “pu*sy” after he terminated his contract with Trabzonspor FC

Posted: 20 Mar 2020 05:00 AM PDT

Olga Allegra has fired back at a social media user who called her partner, Mikel Obi a "pu**y" hours after he terminated his contract with Trabzonspor FC.

Mikel John Obi terminated his contract with the club hours ago, even though he still had a year on his contract.

It was gathered that he gave up all his remaining wages in order to end his time at the club less than a year after joining.

Though no reason was given on why the Nigerian footballer called off the contract with the Turkish club, however his Instagram post earlier this week gave an insight on why the decision was taken.

Mikel wrote;

"There is more to life than football. I do not feel comfortable and don't want to play football in this situation. Everyone should be home with their families and loved ones in this critical time. Season should be cancelled as the world is facing such turbulent times."


Reacting to the troll comment that came after her man called off his contract, Olga insinuated that the social media user who is seemingly a Trabzonspor fan called her man a "pussy" over the development. Mikel Obi's girlfriend who insisted that her family comes first, slammed the troll she described as "vile".

She wrote;

You are vile, but My man is a Hero. Family over everything. Good friends show their love in times of trouble, not just in times of happiness. — Euripides.

Thank you Trabzonspor fans that understand and for those who don't, I'm sorry, but family first no matter what
