Adebisi Michael, a physically challenged man, consequently pitched his football viewing centre which he said he opened in January, 2022, according to TheCable.
Michael said on Twitter:
“I started football viewing centre two months ago and all I could afford was a tv, a stabilizer and a small generator. I can't show more than a match at a time and also battling with a faultful generator. I would love to have two more televisions, a UPS, a fan and standby gen.”
He has since attracted empathy and admiration from Nigerians who responded warmly and trooped to the microblogging site, Twitter to actualise his dreams.
One Twitter user wrote:
"I am touched by your story Michael @Mikedeyforyou . If you're not picked by Davido for this giveaway. Please DM me. I'll be willing to support you with my widow's mite."

The singer has not yet responded to Michael’s pitch, but he had stated the grant would be awarded on Friday, March 18, 2022.
Nigerians on Twitter have started reaching out to Michael, demanding his bank account details while some have also begun to donate equipment required to make the centre stand.
