Davido Fires Back At Faleke: ‘politics Is Not A Career; Get A Job’ by Iexclusivenews(op): 9:40pm On Aug 16
Singer Davido fires back at Lagos lawmaker after Osun election exchange, urging him to “get a job.”

(iexclusivenews)—Afrobeats star Davido has responded to House of Representatives member James Faleke with a sharp message.

“POLITICS is NOT A CAREER. Get a JOB!!!” he posted on X.

The reply continues their public exchange over the Osun State governorship election.

Faleke had earlier denied Davido’s accusation that he pressured the Independent National Electoral Commission to alter results.

In his response, the Ikeja lawmaker said he only went to Osun to support the APC candidate and told Davido to “face your music while we face our politics.”

Davido quoted that post and delivered the new jab on Sunday. The message quickly gained thousands of likes and shares.

@Kenny0one-OBO please cook them. Àwón àgbàyà lo

@iamAbiodunAA-I agree with you on this one. Politics isn’t a career.

@gsbabatunde—Who told You Politics is not a CAREERhuh

Is this really coming from You that your Lineage cannot do without Politicshuh

Davido, you refused to Grow Up still

The back-and-forth began during the collation of results when Davido publicly called on Faleke to stop putting pressure on INEC and to respect the wishes of Osun voters.

But David himself doesn't have a job too.

Just like tinubu and his family that has been the chains and shackles of Lagos state, so is the adeleke's.

U are saying crap... that they do politics or did politics is different from remaining in politics... his father has never been there ...his uncles weren't there all their career... they have businesses that they run...and made their money thru businesses and not politics

This guy is such a child, I use to really like him until his tantrum throwing episode. Faleke is old enough to be his uncle if not older, so why the back and forth like a child who just lost his biscuit.

If you remove looted politics money from the mouths of Wike, Faleke, Gbaja and co. They will drop dead the next day. grin

I wonder if they have any proper skills and business that can help them survive one year outside the sphere of politics. Political leeches without any form of second addresses or proper skills to make money outside politics..

Look at Peter Obi, he left governance more than 10 years ago, yet he is still relevant, making donations here and there. Let Wike and Faleke stay one month outside politics and see if they can survive it. grin

When did politics became a career? Since you can't say it. Davido has said it to his face.

He should go and get a job or start a business

Music is more than a job. It's a business that creates jobs.

Davido is a job creator

Why not get yourself educated?

The dude is the CEO of a mucmsuc label as well as a musician for his label , what do you refer as a job?

We have educated illustrates littered everywhere in Nigeria, why will this country develop? Pathetic.

Politics has always been a career any where in the world but open for anyone to go into. Why will you have political scientist and career diplomat if politics is not a career.

It has never been a career except in Africa that is why politicians all over the world resign if the fall short of expectations except in Africa.

Adeleke has won and I will only advice Davido to leave these APC Hoolli-gaaans.

My problem now is if See Finish happens on Davido, that will be a big issue on his carrier.


Davido should release his online thogs for online chit-chat attack and not him doing it himself

Brother, let’s face the facts, is politics really a career?
Let’s start from counselorship position, what does it cost you to become a counselor? You do will in our community, you get into politics, you campaign, your community votes for you, you become a counselor. You use government allocation given to you LGA to develop your community. How’s this a career, do you really need to go to school, bag a PHd to know how to do go in your community n manage resources entrusted to you?

Seeing politics as a career especially in the our part of the world (AFRICA) has proven why we are so evil today, backward n called 3 world country. Politics is smiling servicing your nation with ur nation resources so you too can thrive in it 📌

I agree our politicians or polithiefcian here don't resign because of greed and corruption but then we still have career politicians even abroad, example are Tony Blair, joe Biden, Gordon brown, Nancy pelosi among many others.

Peter Obi is a made business man before becoming a governor.

At least those people you mentioned abroad were doing one or two things that raised them the little funds they used to venture into politics. What was Wike or Fareke doing before becoming a politician?

My interest is not to advocate for anyone, the point is we have career politicians even abroad who spent all their adult life in politics.

Who employed them? That you have been to the senate for long doesn't make it a job.

It is a public service.

It is not your job. Once the public says you aren't doing well any more. You go without a fight.
