Queen Zainab Otiti Obanor Wages War Against Hunger, COVID-19

It was South Africa born Raggae music legend Lucky Dube who aptly titled one of his songs released in 1990, ‘The Hands That Giveth’. In the lyrics of the song, Lucky glorified giving culture than taking culture. However, he said; “Blessed is the hand that giveth, than the one that taketh”.

Taking a deep look at the lyrics of the song, Queen Zynab Otiti Obanor flips through the mind as a reference point. Giving than taking is one of the best kept secret why the shrewd business woman, astute philanthropist and style icon has remained a success beyond every man’s imagination.

In fact, she hates seeing other people languishing in penury, she tries anything possible to impact in people close to her and the entire humanity.
She is recognised as someone whose love for fellow human beings beggars description.

The beautiful woman has joined the growing number of privileged individuals in the country, who are complementing the efforts of the governments across the country to lessen the burdens of the citizenry occasioned by the outbreak of the Corona virus, otherwise known as COVID 19, which is sweeping across the globe.

In line with his wonted fellow-feeling and abiding commitment to giving back to the society that has given her fame, Otiti Obanor through her foundation, Queen Zaynab Foundation, QZF is donating 10,000 naira  to 10, 000 people across Nigeria towards alleviating the biting hunger in the country.
 While giving out the money to less privilege Nigerian families.

She said ‘’ We hope by providing the basic needs available to these individuals the ability to stay home and not been forced to go on the street will be lessened. Proper hygiene, self- preservation and isolation is important at this time to contain the spread of COVID-19. We are hopeful and prayerful that this pandemic will be over soon without more causalities.

Stressing further, she added; ‘’ This issue has shown that Nigerians have sense of community as we have seen how able and good people have come to over the last few weeks to render support to the affected and less fortunate. No individual can do it all but we can all collectively help those who will struggle to survive during this period. As we look forward to better days ahead.

But you will be wrong if you label it a ceremonial affair, as the light-skinned businesswoman has also been ‘secretly’ involved in philanthropic gestures.
Her foundation in the past has empowered the less-privileged children in Nigeria, regardless of their cultural and religious affiliations.
