RMD now has a million followers, he went on to recount the countless offers and advice he received on how he would benefit from falsely growing his account.

When I was told to open an Instagram account and reactivate my other social media accounts, I didn’t want to but because I also wanted a place where I could engage my fans I decided to. In no time I started getting offers from social media �gurus” who offered to grow my �follower-ship” with a snap of their fingers and boost my online ratings, so �brands and products would kill themselves over me”. Offers that were hard to resist, but when I sat with my team and reviewed, we found out these �gurus” often purchased faceless followers, likes and even comments, so I asked myself if I wanted to be a sensation borne out of falsified popularity. I weighed the options between quick internet fame, the money that came with it and being sincere by letting my true personality grow my accounts. I settled for the later. �Ah, Bros e go hard for you to get endorsements o if you no get reach 1 million followers”… �Just buy, everybody dey do am” were some of the arguments I heard but in my heart I knew it couldn’t be everyone and even if it were I wouldn’t, I thought to myself, after all, I didn’t get my Glo deal by how much internet fame I had. At way less than 200k plus followers, I got a call from Heineken and went to Vegas for the 007 Spyfie Experience. At way less than 1 million followers, Johnnie Walker snatched me up and with my less than 1 million followers, I turned down countless endorsement, influencer and ambassadorial offers. Slowly but surely, my followers grew. I didn’t have to create a scandal, deny my faith or be politically correct. I did not have to pay for one follower, like or comment. I did not even know I had a million followers till yesterday at the office when my Creative Team Lead pointed it out. Today, I humbly but proudly thank my 1million real followers for being the best anyone could ever ask for. I am indeed reminded that you don’t have to do it because everyone is doing it and that �doing it” doesn’t guarantee that you will make it because the race is indeed not to the swift but it is The Lord that shows mercy.
