Nigerian blogger and CEO of Gossipmill blog, Oba Young, popularly known as Pino Vibes, has given away millions of naira to his followers on X, News About Nigeria reports.
The media mogul kicked off the new month on Friday by crediting small business owners with millions of naira to boost their businesses.
Pino Vibes declared a 24-hour ‘giveawayathon,’ where he pledged to give out various amounts to different people over the course of a day, stating that he was in the mood to help Nigerians financially.
He, however, ensured that the teenagers who were recently remanded for their involvement in the EndBadGovernance protest were not left out.
Pino paid over five food vendors to deliver food packages to these teens, with a promise to continue supporting them.
Also, he paid owners of businesses like guinea fowl farms, soap producers, perfume makers, breakfast platter vendors, and food package providers, purchasing their products to distribute to Nigerians.
He also credited random people who requested a share of the money or expressed appreciation for his generosity.
Announcing that a second phase of the giveaway would take place in December, Pino shared that he plans to distribute ten million naira to Nigerians.
This act of generosity has sparked reactions from Nigerians with many praising him for helping alleviate hunger in the country.
Some have even likened him to American billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.
The giveaway also resulted in Pino Vibes’ total followers jumping to over 60,000 in two days.
Pino Vibes is among Nigeria’s leading bloggers, alongside notable figures like Linda Ikeji of Linda Ikeji Blog, Seun Osewa of Nairaland, and Uche of BellaNaija.
