You want Eniola Badmus to do giveaway on her page for you, and you want her to tag you, as the sponsor, she’s promoting your page and that’s a business to her, If You want your name advertised you have to pay for it, i guess that’s what she’s trying to say…

What is this umbrage about Eniola Badmus asking to be paid to facilitate a giveaway on her TL, to her followers, using the celebrity she has spent years building? Even GoFundMe takes a percentage of donations per campaign so what is all the ruckus about?

I think Eniola Badmus was not supposed to charge another 150k for someone offering to give out 500k to people who are in need this critical period.
The person is not gaining anything by such act.
The giveaway would even bring more fans to you.

I understand that Eniola Badmus is just trying to act like every other influencer, but considering the situation at hand, she shouldn’t have asked for such, what suddenly happened to using your church mind?
