Kudos to him for trying to help out the female fan...

However, "apologize" is an incorrect term unless he actually did something wrong to the woman. Otherwise, it's more appropriate to just say that he is "sorry" for what happened to her. Unfortunately, Nigerian English (anchored upon an increasingly poor education system) often conflates both terms.

Okay Jonny English.

As in the same English that you and I are using on this forum?

The difference between success and failure (or also-ran) often lies in details, but sadly most Nigerians are no different from the so-called “leaders” that we blame for all of our woes - an inability to do (and/or seemingly a cavalier attitude towards doing) even the most basic things properly. Our people say that if you elect to eat a frog, go for a bull-frog (presumably rather than a tadpole) and when we opt to use the English language we should do so properly. Unfortunately, even many Nigerian university graduates can barely properly use the same language that they supposedly received their education and/or professional training in, calling into question their professional competence in itself as one cannot fully master concepts that one does not fully understand.

It's so common for we humans to put a blame on someone for our tragedies.

You said you were being robbed and no one around to help or see what was happening? Guess everyone in that place were all criminals not to notice what was going on.

Davido was on stage, have you ever done a presentation where u need to stand before some people? You will see that when you are facing the crowd, you may though seem to be looking at one person, but the actual truth is that you are seeing no one.

Accept your loss and move on
