Juliet Ibrahim who spends as much time as she spends in Ghana
in Nigeria is donating a N1m to victims of Benue flood.
According
to her, she will be donating N500k from her pocket and another N500k from
Juliet Ibrahim Foundation. God bless her!

Below
is what she wrote on IG while announcing the good gesture.
Waking
up to news about so many natural disasters happening around the world has been
extremely devastating. The most recent ones that struck me were ‘Hurricane
Harvey’ in Houston Texas, the mudslide’s in Sierra Leone, and now the flooding
in Makurdi.

Displaced persons in Benue flood |
Many
families have lost everything, and even worse, many lives have been lost. I’ve
once lived as a refugee, and I know what it means to work for something, and
lose it all in the blink of an eye. Hence my decision today, to donate.
Starting with the most recent and nearest, I will be donating the sum of
500,000 Naira and another 500,000 Naira on behalf of The Juliet Ibrahim
Foundation, to the Makurdi flood victims.
I
am also using this opportunity to challenge my fellow colleagues, friends, and
fans to join in. Let’s help out by donating to this cause. #Makurdi Flood Relief
Challenge
I
need my friends to step up to the challenge. Once you’ve accepted the
challenge, simply post or tweet stating you have accepted and then tag those
you’d like to challenge. You don’t have to announce the amount you are
donating. The goal is to raise 10 Million Naira.

Celebrities
are doing their bit abroad for the ‘Hurricane Harvey’ victims, and I pray we
can also do it over here for the Makurdi flood victims.
