You have been doing a great job for Nigerians, and I sincerely appreciate your efforts.
But hearing this, I’m totally disappointed in you for mismanagement of funds; you actually did this app to boast to Nigeria that you’re the only NGO with credibility without putting proper security measures despite warnings from cybersecurity personnel online.
Next time, dey take counsel. The Bible says where there is a multitude of counsel, there is safety; where your knowledge end na dere another person own start.
If you can’t manage and account for over 200m, then you’re not better off than this Nigerian government.

“But you were warned…. You didn’t take it serious.
You need another great hacker to hack the hacker.
Don’t play with cybersecurity. Bro.”
