brother everything is destiny. that person who died was supposed to die. its all karma. if the person was a kind soul God would have directed people to donate for his surgery.

Rickmann:


What!

Totally believe U bro and who knows maybe he’s back here on earth with a better body and environment. Life is larger dan LOGIC

The average Nigerian youth may be literate but his/her mind is far from fully educated.

I can't comprehend how the guy would be asking people to give him money when his Dad is a billionaire, according to the books?
And these people are giving him huge which they've never donated to the development of their villages?

authority2006:



Honestly speaking, rich and wealthy people in Nigeria have misplaced priorities. Imagine Don Jazzy sending 6.2 million naira too! And unemployed youth would be begging them for 10k to buy foodstuffs and they would be complaining. Shame

truth of the matter is that for you to compel people to celebrate you ? you have to be worthy for people to respond. why dont you try the experiment and compel your friends to celebrate you ? i bet you most of them will HISS at you lmaoooo. point here is ? he is worthy of celebrtion amongst his peers, his peers know it and he knows it, so he demanded it.

you cant draw water from stone. people have to love you to celebrate you whether demanded or voluntarily. ask another musician in nigeria to mae this demand and watch how they will be ignored. only davido has the personality to pull this kind of stunt because he is loved as a playful generous guy

You don't necessarily have to be worthy when it comes to compelling people. I have posted many happy birthday messages and congratulatory texts to strangers. Commit murder offline, come on Nairaland and ask for a wedding anniversary wish, and people would celebrate you.

Rob a bank, go to church and share a testimony of how God blessed you, and people will celebrate you. You can compel people to do anything for you, including people you don't know.



Well, you're right but any celebrity with a sizable number of FANS (not just listeners, Naijaloaded addicts and lovers of pirated songs) can pull the same stunt. We think this is impossible because we probably expect others to raise the same N200m in 24 hrs.

Do you know the number of shows Wizkid has sold out in the UK in last 3 months? The fact that he wouldn't do such a thing doesn't mean that it is impossible

The truth is those that can pull the same stunt won't do it. Do you know how much BBNaija Erica fans contributed in 2020? Over 50 million. I know a single Laycon fan that gave 2m in 2020 without Laycon having to pull any stunt or compel anything.

Bottom line is if Davido did not compel them by tagging, the most he would get is a happy birthday text.

Broke ass Madrina is right, if you have to force them to celebrate you then it’s no love
We know all those donating are just doing it for the trend but who cares? We have better things to think about shebi it’s their money and not yours

Aeitbra:
Now that a celebrity that is not an idiot has come out to talk, let me say my own too.

Davido, you have raise almost $400,000 is it for charity? or you no know say people dey suffer for this country wey you dey sing nonesense music?

Dey shout 30BG upandan but you still get corporate begger mentality. Greed will not kill Nigerians.

My problem isn't with Davido or Cynthia..my issue is with the clout chasing Nigerians who want to score cheap points with how swiftly they ve responded with their millions.

If only we could channel this same energy into things that truly matter in this country, Nigeria would be a better place.

1. If the incident that made you arrive at this conclusion is because, "youths" sent money to Davido, then I must say that you're being petty...

2. Boss man...
Not everybody is like you o...
And besides sef, who are you to question what people use their money for?? Did you help them work for it?? Is it your money they used?? And how much have you given to the development of your own village??

Those people who sent Davido money, worked for their money and thus they have the right to spend it however they see fit!!

When you work for your money, you can spend it the way you like...infact sef carry all dash village people, no wahala... Buh until then, stop referring to youths as "uneducated literate"!!!

alanto:

My take home.

HEAVEN4444:
when i say compel to celebrate ? i mean compel them to send money not just write congratulatory messages. anyone can write congratulatory messages. but can you celebrate someone by giving them a million naira ? THATS REAL LOVE. FOR YOU TO GIVE A MAN 1 MILLION THATS REAL LOVE. and with davido he got money from all tribes and even kings donated ( elegushi oba ) and industry giants donated ( otedola ) . brah ? you cant buy that type of love. ITS REAL. YOU CANT BUY LOVE FROM AN OBA OR AN INDUSTRY GIANT LIKE OTEDOLA OR OBI CUBANA

as per the other thing you wrote about big brother people getting money from fans ? you dont understand the format. fans do not give them money. any fan who gives them directly wants his business promoted like that car guy with erica that went sour. however the money they say is from fans is all the voting money they collected during the course of the show. the money is from voting by fans. so when the show is over they slowly release some of the money to the contestants with the saying THE FANS BOUGHT THIS FOR YOU. but its the money the show made from all the fans calling in and voting for them.

madjune:


It's that same "uneducated" mindset that inspired your retort.
Check yourself.
I'm not against anybody wishing him well or sending largesse. But, we must be mindful of the times we live in...and of course, how harsh?
Are you not all wailing over the economy and the plight of the common man? Of which, most of you here are?
You think the solution to the Nigerian problem lies solely in the hands of our leaders?

The masses also have their role(s)
And, it's in things like this...and how we conduct ourselves.
So, with all these lavish display, you can conveniently ask the outside world for loan or grant in hard times and they see you as suffering?
When your average citizen can easily dole out 5M to someone to clear his car?
And in same breath, you tell the world to help your country,
You think the world doesn't pay attention to the way we bastardize our money? No values?

Whatever happened to these circle of friends ( I don't envy their monies) coming to reason on how to solve the unemployment malaise?
How about setting up NGO with those 1M each?

That will go a long way in saving lives, which are more important than any car.
