The Funds Raised For Harvey Relief Is Upto Nigeria Budget For 2017. by DonaldJTrump: 6:55pm On Sep 02, 2017
The USA multinational companies and celebrity, are taking it as a fun to challenge each others. Many celebrities acepted the challenge by making their own pledge bit higher. Rumour had it that, the money pledged and donate so far is up to 20 billion dollars i. e about 7.2 trillion naira for Only some few cities in taxas.
Greater amount came from the private sectors and celebrities ( can Nigerians emulate this?. what happens in lekki, rivers and benue comes to my mind)
The USA celebrity took on their instagram pages to throw a challenge on who will donate more to humanity ( our Nigerian celebrities are only after Gucci competitions).
Among the celebrities, kelvin hart was the first to called in the challenge. Initially, the comic called upon
Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Dwayne "The
Rock" Johnson, Chris Rock, Dave
Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, Steve
Harvey and Justin Timberlake. In
a follow-up Instagram video where
he upped his pledge to $50,000
from $25,000, Hart added more
famous names to the list like T.I.,
Chris Brown and Drake.
Drake responded that he had given
$200,000 to the initiative started
by Watt, whom the rapper
described as a good friend. "The
journey to rebuilding is gonna be
a long one," said Drake,
encouraging others to donate.
Donations continue to roll in; Tyler Perry said he is donating a
combined $1 million to relief
efforts in a video shared on his
Facebook page Thursday, Singer Edie Brickell and husband
Paul Simon announced
