Let me make this clear: If you donated to #SaveMayowa & she travels to the USA & still dies (God forbid), IT IS NOT A SCAM. Understand this.

Please #SaveMayowa by letting her live in peace, She is sick, she needs money, we donated, you have done your part leave the rest to God.

If #SaveMayowa is truly a scam like Linda Ikeji reports, then it will greatly affect future online donations.

#SaveMayowa won’t be necessary in UK. They have the NHS. Nigerians are left to fend for themselves, no social contract
That’s the big story

If the #SaveMayowa stories true or not… I did it for God… Ma sha Allah

No matter the outcome of the #SaveMayowa story, the real winners are Nigerians. Against all the odds, we stood up for one of us.
Amazing.

#SaveMayowa seems no Scam to me.
None of us will easily agree if we’re told the end is near. We’ll do all we can to fight for our Lives.

I believe the #SaveMayowa initiative basically wanted to get another opinion abroad. That scam thing doesn’t sit well with me
