Read some of the funny comments as gathered on Twitter by Vanguard:
@Abu_swag “In a middle of a Pandemic when many people are unemployed and currently struggling to survive? Do you know how many families he can lift out of poverty or how many hospitals, schools would be well equipped with this money? Absolute waste of resources!”
@alexlobaloba “While some have said that Otedola lifted lots of people out of poverty in this pandemic. Go & read about the forerunners of CACOVID, see the amount he donated to the initiative. Come back & compare it to the amount he used to buy these ‘toys’ for his kids. Celebrate with them & pray for God’s blessings.”

@VictorIsrael_ “The Last time me & my father passed a car shop like this, it wasn’t funny. My body mistakenly hit the car and the car security alarm started making noise, my father started running & was saying “God the child you gave me wants my face to show on Crimefighters. I’m not a thief o”
