Rather than spending it at a lavish party as many of his peers would, he chose to spend it with underprivileged inmates at Ikoyi prison in Lagos. But that's not the most remarkable part of this story. Alawuba went above and beyond to give back to this community, donating a substantial amount of money, toiletries, food, and other necessary items.
