Obi and the Haiti Earthquake

Haiti was recently struck by an earthquake. It reminds us of the brutalities od nature the country has continued to suffer, especially the earthquake of 2010.

After the earthquake of 2010, Mr. Peter Obi travelled to the country as an aid worker. Together with his son, they slept in one of the camps that littered the country. He took time touring damaged public buildings and other institutions.

Back to Nigeria, in addition to personal donation towards the re-building of the country, he helped to raise money from wealthy individuals and companies.

In 2012, he was back to the country and made several donations towards the re-building efforts. Apart from the contributions towards rebuilding some public buildings, he also donated 200 Million Dollars for the rebuilding of the country’s Cathedral.

Sometimes it is more effective to speak in pictures.

The article I published soon after we returned from Haiti in 2010, entitled “Haiti and Cruelty of Nature”says it all. Read on!
