Former presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri, has asked Nigerians to direct their grievances over the country’s economic situation towards the President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), whom they elected as their leader.

He said rather than venting their anger on fellow private citizen and singer, David Adeleke, known better as Davido, over the nation’s sorry state, such should be reserved for the President.

We learnt that the Afro-pop singer bought a luxury Lamborghini Aventador worth over N300,000,000 as an early Christmas gift for himself.

However, the singer, on Wednesday, received knocks from Twitter fans after he lamented the cost of clearing his Lamborghini at the Nigerian port.

The Afro-pop singer had called for prayers for the country as he decried the amount he had to pay for the clearance.

“You don’t even wanna know how much I just paid to clear my Lambo. Pray for Nigeria…Jesus,” he tweeted early Wednesday.

But as Davido lamented the price for his Lamborghini clearance, fans tackled him for complaining, while there were people who didn’t even have food to eat.

However, Omokri while defending the singer in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle, said Davido has been more useful to the country than the elected president and other officials. 

He tweeted, “Rather surprised at the hard knocks Davido got over the Lamborghini he bought with HIS OWN MONEY. I’d have thought if there were hard knocks, it would be reserved for General Buhari, who bought a ₦280 million Mercedes-Maybach with YOUR MONEY, yet refused to perform.

“Shame on those Nigerians who left a failed government that hides ordinary #COVID19 palliative noodles from the masses, only to badmouth an under 30-year-old Davido, who has shown more love to needy Nigerians than the government.

“Buhari is not in Nigeria as fuel scarcity cripples the nation-you don’t complain. Repentant Boko Haram had a graduation party yesterday as ASUU is on strike- you don’t complain. Davido used HIS OWN MONEY to buy a Lamborghini- you complain.

“During #EndSARS, who killed Nigerians? Buhari. Who protested with Nigerians? Davido. In fact, he was invited to force headquarters for questioning. Davido is more useful to Nigeria than Buhari. Yet, you left the Nigerian government to attack Davido.

“After donating ₦250 million to orphanages, Davido deserves to spend HIS MONEY on a Lambo. He’s also earned the right to complain about the high cost of clearing it, especially when he has singularly done more for charity than the government collecting the clearance.”

Nollywood actress Annie Idibia has called out the media, especially Nigerian bloggers for keeping mute after her husband and musician 2Baba donated music studio to OAU Annie, who was supported by comedian Efe Warri stressed that the story would have trended if it was about her husband getting someone pregnant The actress added that 2Baba does his things on a low key and is less concerned about whether it trends in the media or not

Nigerian veteran singer Innocent Idibia better known as 2Baba recently donated a music studio to the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile Ife, Osun state. However, his wife Annie Idibia and some celebrities believed it didn’t get enough publicity from the media, especially Nigerian bloggers.

Annie, who shared a video where comedian Efe Warri criticised Nigerian blogs for their silence, said the news would have trended if it was about 2Baba impregnating a woman.

Efe said “If the news was “ 2Baba give person belle or na him give Cora belle “ e go trend dieeeeee ..true or false e go still trend everywhere Oooo everywhere go burst .

She said

Baba no Dey make noise, It is what it is !! Man don’t even care if it’s out there or not ! He made a promise to the faculty of music student in OAU .. 2baba has left a legacy and this legacy he left would never been forgotten

Keep it up 2baba
