Lady calls out Davido, slams Nigerians for worshiping status – “Return everyone’s money”

Posted: 19 Nov 2021 04:00 AM PST

Twitter user calls out singer, Davido Adeleke, following the massive birthday donation he received under 24-hours.

This is coming following Davido's request targetted at his friends and associates to donate to the cause of his coming 29th birthday after which he garnered over N150M from.

According to the Twitter user, it is uncalled for that a billionaire like himself sought financial aid from poor Nigerians.

"Ok, you had your fun @Davido. Naha. Funny joke. Now please come out and either 1) return everyone's money or 2) announce the charitable cause you plan on donating to. This is actually really sick. 
Lmao. Came back to see this tweet taking off. Davido (a literal billionaire) posted his bank account # on Twitter and asked ppl to send him money for his birthday if they're his friends. Nigerians are actually sending money to this billionaire and think that's normal. Lol.

Nigerians worship wealth and status, so I'm not surprised that most of you lack the range and critical thinking skills to understand why this is unethical. The most interesting replies are from people who think I'm broke.
In actuality, getting a position that put me in the top 5% of earners in the U.S. is exactly what helps me understand why this is wrong. Lol," she wrote.

Special Spesh shared a video online asking about the mental wellbeing of those who engage in such a deceitful act.

He said; "I am trying to understand. A human being will stay in the same place they are in, take pictures, post the pictures and put a different location."

"Like you stay in Lagos and you post a picture that you are in Dubai, London, Miami and you are in still the same Lagos. Like, are you daft? Are you thinking that you are deceiving us? Like, what is wrong with you?"
