Freemasonry:
I've come to understand that it's almost normal for the hoi polloi to hate privileged people. I don't really understand the psychology behind that but I know it's unhealthy and silly. Instead of misdirecting such misguided hate on people whose fathers made money why not hate your father who couldn't make it.

Take for instance, a few years ago Paddy Adenuga had published an inspiring article where he shared his struggles in business and how he succeeded, but in a bizarre twist of narrative the haters attacked him and alluded to the fact that his father's money did this and did that.

Shortly after, Dj Cuppy was also bullied online by people who believes she has no business being a dj, let alone a popular one at that. To them it's her affluent background that's doing the trick not her talent.

The same with Davido. No matter what he does, how many awards he wins, or cool tunes he drops, he'll never be good enough for these people who believe he didn't earn his place at the table.

Instead, they revere and respect those they think are from the streets even when these people are nothing short of mediocre. A case in point is the current frosty relationship between Davido and Burna boy, how did it all start? Both of them were chummy until Burna boy made a disparaging remark about Davido's father buying fame for him. This was not only in bad taste but smacks of obvious jealousy. That you struggled to climb up the ladder due to lack does not make you better, or mean that those who have the resources to advance their dreams or careers must suffer like you before their talents can be validated.

And if the eyewitness account in the media is anything to go by, then it’s obvious that this unfortunate incident was all Burna boys doing. He showed up at the club with 6 hired goons and went straight to the VIP section where Davido was sitting to confront him. Although this is yet to be verified but judging from Burna boy’s propensity for violence it is highly probable that is what happened.

It’s time people do away with this wrong notion that privileged kids don’t deserve what they have. No matter how hard they work there’s always someone who thinks that without their money they’d probably not make it that far, but nothing could be farther from the truth. These kids work just as hard as the poor kids, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with using what you have to advance yourself. I mean you can’t hate on these kids just for being rich as if they’re the ones that stopped your father from making money. It’s wrong and it’s in bad taste.

Instead of hating divert that energy into making money so your kids won’t be just like you. Shout out to David. Keep keeping it a 100.

pocohantas:
Not just rich people, but happy people or anyone that looks like he or she is not struggling.



This is not about Davido, but a trend I have observed- online and offline.

Omihanifa:
The hate and jealousy is simply because of the high poverty rate in the country coupled with the fact that most of these rich kids parent are part of the people that destroyed the country.

They are part of the people that contributed to the rot in the system

So Nigerians are automatically transferring that hate to their children.

How do you expect people not to hate somebody like kiddwaya that was busy bragging on bbnaija that he spent 3.1 million naira to charter a private jet that took him to Lagos for the show.

In a country where people are dying of hunger and there's extreme poverty you sef think am.

And for somebody like Davido, his own hatred is even self inflicted ( I feel he talks and displays to much information on social media)

Only a Davido will buy a car and be videoing how they are offloading the car inside his compound and still tell you that he paid 120million for it.

In other for these hatred to reduce some of these Rick kids should learn how to be conservative, it not everything they should be saying on social media. this is Nigeria where hunger and poverty is endemic and a lot of people live for the day

I have said it before and I will say it again- whoever is fcking you better use protection. Your low IQ can easily pass for an STD and I fear for whoever contracts it.

Jennycoolz:
No hates no insults , but OP I have a simple question which needs a simple answer

Q: what can davido buy for himself that burnaboy can't also buy for himself now what jealousy are you talking about sir ?

Mitsurugi:
We live in dangerous times and there is a modesty that is most prudent. While I was at the university the daughter of a serving governor ate in the same wooden shack buka with us despite deluxe eateries around. I can tell you she was the most respected person we knew in the faculty, well loved. (We also knew her DSS guard who also attended classes with her, she obviously read him orders never to harass peops). She donated towards parties and picnics. The girl humble die. Rich kids don't help themselves with the need to brashly show off. Yes, the money is yours but why paint a bullseye on yourself for other frustrated peops to execute target practice. We live in dangerous times!

If we all want to be truthful the so called rich kids with wealthy parents know their parents have a hand in Nigeria’s poor state one way or another, nothing happens by mistake if they hate them it’s cause nature is passing the resentment that should have gone to their parents to them.



Another Thing No Rich person in this country of ours got rich without some form of Compromise prove me wrong I’ll wait.

I will munch up anything I want. Yes, Nigerians are terrible people. This includes you and that is why you are triggered, because the table you are sitting on was shaken.

If you have any iota of understanding, you’ll see Timaya and Wizkid perfectly fit into the grass-grace story which Nigerians like. So they’re less targeted. It is right there in my post, but no, you don’t ever read- you can’t even read. Once you see Poco’s post, you jump out to attack something you have no full understanding of.

I am doing well in my own career. Everybody must not do music.

Failure.
Dumb mofo

U see why I said Nigerians dont have brain.
Someone cant express his dislike for rubbish.
I nor like davido music. Shove that into ur ass

Depends on how their parents became rich, was it at the expense of others or sold business.

Also how responsible the kids themselves act.

It is not just Nigeria but the world today!
People hate to see you better than they are.
Their was talk about few years ago that Drake shouldn’t rap about the streets because he’s not really from the streets. But he’s been winning awards and bigger than most people who claim to come from the streets!

I even believe the Nigerian situation is better.
Most of the kids from wealthy families have one time or the other involved in governance and have stolen huge amounts of money.
Have you seen anyone call out Innoson’s children? Or kids whose fathers we all know their sources of income?

Davido- Adeleke family
Dj Cuppy- Otedola family
Etc
These families stole our money and built up all the wealth you are talking about from our collective wealth and subjected our people to poverty.

I’m not trying to make a case for HATE, but cut our people some slack abeg


You can call me a hater.
I just like to see things from another point of view!

djon78:




Exactly
Most times this rich kids are just arrogant

Although Davido OBO is somewhat different
But many rich kids most especially those we know the history of there father's wealth by hanging around government in power are target practice

But those rich kids we know there parents worked for there money through legitimate hustles are respected

Angelfrost:
The issue is beyond wealth (monetary wealth)...

People in this class or group are largely the miserable and low self esteem individuals... Cos there are non wealthy people who are happy, and wish rich people nothing but goodwill.

These same people will likely still be bitter even if they happened upon wealth or increase... Bitterness is a disease; a terrible character flaw entrenched in ignorance.

Ignorance in the sense that being bitter at people who have no direct or even indirect hand in impoverishing or making them miserable is beyond stupidity!!!

I can understand hating on children or descendants of corrupt and greedy politicians (won't bother with examples), but people should be smart enough to differentiate between the legit rich and crooked ones; and also realize that rich kids (even from corrupt parents) shouldn't be made to carry their parents' crosses.

In all, it is largely the worsening state of the nation's economy... Things are getting worse. People who were financially comfortable have now become poor. It is quite a lot to ask that they don't hate on the few wealthy among them.

ZaOzaRoom:
I love Davido's music but I think most Nigerians feel the rich people of today made their money stealing from the country's treasury which resulted to today's suffering.
I once read somewhere that Kiddwaya's father was IBB's boy.
So, they could think Davido, cuppy etc fathers stole from the country's treasury hence the hate.

princemartinsG:
The reason for this being that there is no single rich man in Nigeria whose wealth is completely clean.

They have either cornered our commonwealth or into business alignment as front for crooked capitalists or are fronts for corrupt government people enjoying undue monopoly


As long as this is the case, their children can never have the rest of mind worthy for clean wealthy people

PHijo:
The thing is most rich people in Nigeria are parasites. Their wealth can be directly linked to patronage and cronyism.

I don't think most people would have a problem with people who created wealth through their entrepreneurial adventures and not the misfortune of the masses.

twilliamx:
In as much as I wholeheartedly agree with your beautiful write up let's not forget that the children of the oppressors of this country also fall within group called rich even though their parents are not known to have neither a functional business nor did they invent something that propelled them to amass wealth, but they got rich at detriment of their constituents whom they have have kept impoverished due to their insatiable greed, as far as I am concerned anyone whose parent falls within the category of a political oppressor should be hated.
In the past once you are thief and you caught, everything that has to do with you will be named and shamed including your kids, this in turn will deter other from committing such crime.
If your parent are hard working people, you deserve no hate but if your parent are known looters of the common wealth of the people, people that deprive their constituents of hospital, schools and social amenities then you should enjoy and partake from the hatred that befalls them.
I love Davido and Burna.. they should resolve their issues amicably.
