Twitter On Fire As Nigerians React To Otedola’s Ferrari Shopping For Daughters
Nigerian businessman, philanthropist, and former chairman of Forte Oil PLC, Femi Otedola, has gifted his three daughters, Tolani Otedola, Temi Otedola, and Florence Otedola (DJ Cuppy) new Ferrari vehicles.
This has set social media on fire with many Nigerians expressing divergent views.
While some are of the view that in the middle of this pandemic, what should have been done was for him to use his resource to help the poor, others are saying that the businessman has done his bits.
Otedola is also the founder of Zenon Petroleum and Gas Ltd, and the owner of a number of other businesses across shipping, real estate and finance.
The photos of the new Ferrari vehicles were shared by Otedola’s daughter, DJ Cuppy on her Twitter handle
She wrote, “Papa took us shopping and bought one of each!”
The Ferrari car in the market place is approximately worth $338,000 (N131,820,000) and above currently.
Some of the funny comments on Twitter include the following: @Abu_swag “In the 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 Crime fighters. I’m not a thief o”
