Addressing the large audience which gathered to witness another in the series of Chief Bisi Idaomi’s philanthropy, Mr Shaibu Ademola said, “today we are gathered here to share a revolving loan of N1m amongst our small scale village business persons. Let me say here that as we share this money for the beneficiaries, they are not expected to pay interest on it. But we are going to do it in a way that it will become a scheme that will continue to go round amongst our village business people. We are giving beneficiaries 6 months as you all had agreed to use this money to turn around your business after which you return the money for another person to benefit. We urge and advice all of you to use the money judiciously so that it can continue to get to others who are also into businesses like you are. We appeal to all of you to always keep Chief Bisi Idaomi in prayers so that God Almighty shall keep and provide for her in this course of generosity”. Chief Bisi takes the shoes of her late Father Chief Olorunfemi Obune Idaomi the Okpodalo of Central Uneme who was known for his philanthropy when he was alive. A man whose memory has refused to be erased by all mitigating circumstances”

I have been in this village married and the type of life style I see Chief Bisi display here is that of godliness and utmost passion for the less privileged in this community. I am grateful for her kindness and wish to say that the money will make a difference in my business. May God be with her”.
