“I am spending my money to give a life to someone” Hon Tony Oneweek says

Be a star is a new empowerment project by Tony Oneweek, read here.

After we published the event, someone commented that the project is not an empowerment since he includes registration fees.  Hon Tony was disappointed with the fan’s comment and responded to set the record straight. Hear him:

“Yea… Our usual fastidiousness! Tell me any gesture that has not been criticized in Nigeria? You can make your own and call it what you like. I am spending my own money to give a life to someone. If registration to show commitment and value this competition is a crime, let me be guilty. I have done ‘free’ things for youths and I know how common and trivial they made it.., why? Because they didn’t spend Shishi! Right now my Idemili trader’s cup competition is on and the total prizes are over N1m. If only 3 people register for this, then they deserve to be empowered. I don’t work alone. My team fixed 3k as a means of tasking contestants to value this exercise. Cheers.”
