In his rant, VDM shared that internet personality Issac Fayose and singer Seun Kuti informed him of their willingness to donate N500k and N1M, respectively, to the camp, to which he intended to add some more millions.
To his surprise, he called his person at the camp, who informed him that the government had sent the IDP packing from the camp where they were sheltered. It was also mentioned that the Borno state government allegedly gave them N10k and Spaghetti.
The situation angered the outspoken social media activist so much that he cursed the Borno State government and urged international bodies to stop donating to the flood victims, arguing that the government did not use the movies for their intended purpose.
