David Adeleke, music star known as Davido, is currently trending on social media.
Nigerians have been showering encomiums on him since he announced a N250 million donation to orphans nationwide.
- How Wema bank officials flew to Dubai to meet Davido over millions raised in two days
- Three Professors included as Davido names committee to coordinate N250m donation
Davido had raised N200 million in two days after he tweeted that he needed N100 million to clear his Rolls Royce at the port.
When the money hit N171 million, Davido announced that he might give all away.
On Saturday, he made it known that he had raised N200 million and he would add N50 million to it and distribute among orphanages nationwide.
He also set up a five-man committee made up of three professors to determine how the money would be distributed.
But many on social media have commended the gesture, asking Nigerian religious and political leaders to emulate him.
Below are some of the comments.
Obele Benny Adjejevbe, also a Facebook user, wrote, “The youths should take a lesson here. You must be credible enough for people to trust you with their hard earned resources with the snap of the finger like this. It is not by deception (yahoo, yahoo). God bless Davido for this “Heart of Gold”.
Yakubu Ozi Moh’d, said, “God bless you Davido for doing that, as far as those politicians doesn’t no what to do than to defraud the country, Davido i hail you more.”
Still on a WhatsApp group, Samson Akindele wrote, “Honestly! I even love the fact that this guy made a name for himself without solely resting on his family wealth. He would spend hours, days in the studio doing songs. Ordinarily, an average guy born with a silver spoon won’t do all that.”
