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.

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.

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 N500m 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?

Though the news says
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 donated

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 had invested in infrastructure and planning, we wouldn’t need these flashy handouts. Nigerians deserve real solutions, not band-aid fixes from questionable sources.

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?

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.
