0:00AOkay, pizza. Pizza. I agree with you.

0:07BHi, I’m Gift Angel in Ogun State, Nigeria, and I’m here with Wida Media. Hi, do you know about Pizza de Party? What’s that? Wait a minute! Who are you? You know about somebody buying BM pizza with Bitcoin? No. Today we’re talking about Pizza Day, and honestly, this is bigger than pizza.
