It took a bold step, went to the public for help, and got more than it needed in just 24 hours! Receiving over half a million dollars from nearly 20,000 people on GoFundMe.

You may think: how does this concern Nigeria?
Well think of all the possible funding alternatives this throws up for bold, distinctive journalism, the kind that truly resonates with readers.
