Nigeria’s highly influential and successful artiste, David Adeleke aka Davido, has got social media users talking and arguing over his recent interview. The afro beat sensation had in the interview on the Big Homies House Podcast, decried the state of the nation, advising against Blacks’ relocation to the country.
He said, “Go where? It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am not going to show the bad parts.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well. The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”
Even Davido’s facial expression during that interview speaks eloquently of a concerned citizen. It’s an indication that he is in touch with reality despite his wealth. Now, lets face it; did he say the fact about our economy? Is home cool? Is the exchange rate cool? Is Nigeria producing crude oil and yet the citizens are purchasing the finished products at an exorbitant rate?

Except for those seriously benefiting from the government, you know the right answers to the above questions. So why crucify Davido? Oh! Because he is a celebrity, he does not have right to his personal opinion on crucial matters. What about few other celebrities like the actor that is still advertising this present government as if campaign is still on, telling us that the president will fix Nigeria. Has he been stoned?
In fact Davido, you shouldn’t have warned those whinning about relocation because their candidate lost an election. Let them come and let’s see how they’ll cope after leaving behind a system that works.
The interview has set social media users against each other. Some are more pained with additional tweets from Davido – “Dem say dem go cancel my show cus of that interview…lol…” and “The way my accent be for that interview day sweet me. Very demure.”
Take a look at those hailing the afro beat Superstar for speaking out.

Felix replied, “Note Davido, only patriots with a conscience can do what you did and Nigerians are proud that you spoke out despite the fact that you are an advantaged man in Nigeria. It was best said the way and manner you served it. You only spoke one aspect of the Nigerian malaise. You did not touch insecurity, dirty politics, Judiciary, legislature, corruption, etc. Yet they are in a panic mode. What a shameless and hypocritical country.”
Dr Ken on @drkenon2 replied, “You don’t intend to perform in Nigeria. Of course, I absolutely agree. I love this interview Davido. Thank you for being very honest. God bless you more.”
Oyindamola @dammiedammie35 wrote, “Over them all OBO, speak your truth, speak on it !!”
Seun wrote, “You did the right thing, first time I’ll agree with you.”
Another X user shared a previous interview where Davido said ‘The best doctors in America are Nigerians’ and then wrote, “This is Davido marketing Nigeria with his whole might but they will pretend not to see this one because it doesn’t align with their agenda.”

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has urged singers Wizkid and Tiwa Savage to join the ongoing campaign to get justice for their late colleague, Mohbad.
She explained that the late singer was inspired by them and other top artists to become a musician.

Speaking during a recent Instagram livestream with fans, the movie star stated that the Nigerian music industry cannot afford to allow what legendary musicians Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to the new generational artists.
She said, “Wizkid and Tiwa Savage, I need you. These young boys, they come from the slums and ghettos just like most of you did, and they were inspired by you guys to become artists. And they have so much talent. Music is one of the talents that has put Nigeria on the map… These children are making us proud.
“Nigeria is blessed with talents, and we cannot allow any cult or anyone pull them down. We cannot allow anybody pull those children down because their music is what’s giving us joy… We will not allow what Fela Kuti, King Sunny Ade, and 2Baba went through in the hands of record label executives and the authorities to happen to new generational artists.”

However, the rapper and record label executive Naira Marley has repeatedly debunked allegations of his involvement in his former signee Mohbad’s death.
A court in Lagos State recently dismissed Mohbad’s father’s suit against Naira Marley and his associate, Sam Larry, stating that there was insufficient evidence to link them directly to the death.
However, investigation into the singer’s controversial death remains inconclusive two years after.

Self-styled activist Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has revealed that he advised singer Naira Marley to take up a cyberbullying case against actress Iyabo Ojo for her role in dragging his name into the controversies surrounding his former signee Mohbad’s death, but he insisted on leaving her to divine judgment.
He recalled how Naira Marley later changed his mind after Iyabo Ojo allegedly apologised to him at the Lagos State Commissioner of Police office after they (VeryDarkMan and Naira Marley) had planned he should charge her for defamation and ruining his music career.
Speaking in a recent video broadcast via his TikTok page, VDM stated that he was unhappy with Naira Marley’s decision to forgive Iyabo Ojo and allow God deliver justice.

“I told Naira Marley to detain Iyabo Ojo but he said Allah will judge. I told him to lose his cool the moment we enter the Police Commissioner’s office and say Iyabo Ojo’s defamatory remarks have ruined his career and tarnished his image. He said okay, but when he got there and Iyabo said apologised in Yoruba, Naira Marley immediately forgave her. I almost died where I was sitting. I was so upset and disappointed.
“When Samlarry saw that Naira Marley has accepted Iyabo Ojo’s apology, he protesting against it. I was signalling Naira Marley not to accept the apology because I know Iyabo Ojo won’t keep to her end of the agreement. Samlarry shed tears,” he recalled.
Recall that the court acquitted Naira Marley and his associate Sam Larry of complicity in singer Mohbad’s death, four months ago.

Singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has lambasted self-styled activist Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, for constantly stirring controversies with the death of singer Mohbad, who died in September 2023 under highly controversial circumstances.
The ‘Zazu’ crooner described VDM as “a manipulator” and urged him to stop deceiving Nigerians.
Portable also slammed VeryDarkMan over his constant attacks on actress Iyabo Ojo, stressing that the activist is jeopardising the ‘Justice for Mohbad’ campaign and not the actress.
He lamented that VDM gained attention for demanding justice for Mohbad but now appears to have turned against the late singer.

Speaking in a recent video broadcast, Portable said, “VeryDarkMan, you came out deceiving Nigerians that you want justice for Mohbad. You’re a manipulator. Now, you’re dragging Iyabo Ojo. What’s really her offense?
“You’re a manipulator. You claimed you want justice for Mohbad, so why are you now going against Mohbad? Leave Mohbad and let him rest in peace. Why are you dragging the dead? You are the one who first alleged that Mohbad was killed by some certain people, and you’re now making a U-turn.
“Are you the one who will tell Nigerians who is good or not? We know people who are good people. We also know the people who bullied Mohbad. Stop deceiving Nigerians.”
