Internet users reassure
Based on the number of people who followed the last episode on YouTube, Passa Badanaro is issuing an invitation. “At this time, 194,962 of us have followed episode 8 of this series on YouTube which made us proud and gave a new image to Togolese cinema. If each of us takes it upon ourselves to donate even 1000 FCFA, we will have enabled them to collect a little less than 195 million. I am sure that if we viewed the 8 episodes via YouTube, we spent more than 1000 FCFA on data. The evolution of our country’s cinema is everyone’s business. I’m going to give my part… And what are you waiting for? “, he commented, demonstrating his solidarity.
