1.
Despite the bad economic situation of the country, it still shows that
Nigerians are compassionate people.
2.
As a Celebrity, fan base cannot be ignored or joked with. The sum of N30m was
raised in less than 72 hours due to Toyin Aimakhu's intervention and Instagram
videos she did with Mayowa, which went viral and made many people to contribute
to save the ailing lady.
3.
Emotional control. One shouldn't allow his or her emotions to get over him or
her, especially celebrities. Maybe Toyin didn't realize that more harm could be
done to the lady via emotional trauma by her actions or even to her own image.

4.
Double check information before reacting. If Toyin Aimakhu have been patient
enough and investigated the information she received about Mayowa's case (through
Aramide
Kasumu of Life Stake Foundation) that the ailment is
'beyond treatment', possibly there wouldn't have been uproar and the
Fund-raising Scam Saga.
5.
It's important for celebrities to employ publicist and seasoned managers who
can handle their image and public relations. Instead of the dramas that
followed the whole scam saga, all Toyin would have done is to issue a press
statement to absolve herself from any negative reports and not dragging issues
with anyone.
6.
Even if Toyin had over-reacted, the family of Mayowa doesn't have to resort to
insulting her over who informed Linda Ikeji or not. Because truth be told, if
not for Toyin's involvement, many may not have heard of the case not to talk of
contributing to the funds.
7.
Media houses should be careful about reporting what they term Exclusives or
Breaking News without doing proper investigations to know which is true or not.
Even if you're writing gossips or 'exclusives' there are ways to report such to
avoid damages to parties involved.
8.
Many people just jump on issues on social media without thinking deeply or find
out the truth. This Scam Saga just proved that once again. It's even so funny
that many people are even blaming the sick lady for what happened. Think before
you talk or contribute to issues.
9.
Like it is said in PR, no bad publicity. The scam saga has made Toyin Aimakhu
to be more popular and win over more fans. She only needs to be smart to
leverage on this.
10.
Above all, don't write off anybody situation. Even if it's the last breath, God
can still turn the situation around. No one will ever want their loved ones to
die, even if they tell them all hope is lost, they will still have that small
atom of hope that miracle can still happen. And don't stop doing good, even if
you don't get a thank you. God rewards goodness.
Shalom!
