Apparently, I forgot that I was appealing for support from people who would first see my trib€ before seeing my humanity.
Apparently, I also forgot that I am an Igbo man.
The appeal I made purely out of compassion has been met with accusãtions that Igbõs cannot be trusted, that we are sc@mmers, and with many other !nsults that are too unpl€asant to repeat here.
When I raised awareness while those children were still in the kednappers' den, I did not see them as Yoruba children. I simply saw them as innocent Nigerian children who needed help. I never imagined that my tribe would become the focus instead of their suffering and my intention to help.
Sãdly, my appeal has awakened d€€p tribal sentiments that have overshadõwed the very reason for the fundraiser.
In light of this, I hereby WITHDRAW completely from any further appeal or solicitation on behalf of the victms. I respectfully ask everyone to disregard my earlier posts regarding this effort.
To everyone who had indicated interest in donating through me, I kindly ask that you withhold any planned donations through my channel.
To the HUSBAND of one of the victms-The Principal and the Mother that shielded the children,with whom I have been in communication, I hereby suspend any further discussions regarding this initiative.
I sincerely appreciate everyone who genuinely wanted to help. If you still wish to support the victims, please explore other credible avenues to do so.
I will be removing my account details from the previous posts, and I respectfully ask that I no longer be contacted regarding this particular fundraising effort.
Thank you.
UGO BOSS
