Speaking on how they were offered a whopping N144million to sell their Facebook page, they said; “Recently, a company wanted to buy out our Facebook page.
“I thought it as a scam but this company is well known and they offered us $400,000 when I converted it to Naira, it was more than N100million (N144m). My first thought was ‘guys lets sell it.’ But we can’t sell it because it’s not all about money.
“Money cannot buy what we do. If you think about it, you can sell it and start again but there are people who can only get a laugh through that channel and by selling it, you will deny them that chance.”
