According to his narration on LinkedIn, Taiwo's relationship with the man began when he sought funding online to attend an international conference in South Africa.

Olabisi was said to have reached out and offered partial funding in the sum of 70k urging Taiwo to get the balance from other sources.

Unfortunately, Taiwo said he couldn't get the balance and had to return the money to the US man as the purpose it was originally meant for wasn't feasible.

Impressed by his honesty, Olabisi told Taiwo to keep the money and thereafter sent him N1 million to help him start up and run a business in Nigeria.

A task Taiwo did well to the admiration of Olabisi.
