Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has stated that Nigerian singer, Davido, is wiser than those who gave him money.
Omokri said this in his social media post as his reaction to the singer’s donation of N250m to orphanages across Nigeria, after fans and colleagues gifted him over N200m for his birthday.
Recall Wednesday, David asked his friends
and fans to donate N1m each to him for his birthday.
Though he added that the goal was to get N100m, the singer received over N53m in cash transfers in less than fifty five minutes.
"Davido is much wiser than all those who
gave him monies on his birthday.", Reno stated in his post. "He understands the spiritual realm and the
ways of God. He has secured a soft spot in the Heart of the Creator, by virtue
of James 1:27. I commend him. What a heart of Gold. What a man to watch for the
future. Could his life trajectory be like Ronald Reagan’s? Those who gave to
him are are different issue entirely. They should read Proverbs 22:16."
Given the successful contribution, the
singer has decided to give back to society and has also set up a committee to
monitor the progress.
Popular Nigerian socialite Obi Cubana has
reacted to the decision of Davido to give away all of his N201, 000 million
birthday donations to charity, including a personal donation of N50 million, KFN
reports, submitting further below:
In a
statement a few hours ago, Davido revealed he would donate the sum of N251
million he received as a birthday gift from friends and associates to different
charity organizations across Nigeria.
He
added that his goal is to do the fundraising every year to celebrate his
birthday, give back to people in need, and urge his friends, fans and
colleagues in the industry and the public to support him as he drives the
cause.
Reacting
to this, Obi Cubana, in a post shared on his Instagram page, described Davido
as a king who would always be a king reaffirming the famous saying of the
singer that ‘We rise by lifting others’.
Obi
Cubana added it is not about how much an individual has but having the mind to
help when and where they can help others.
He
wrote: @davido donates 250m to orphanages! You see what we are talking about? A
king will always be a king! We all rise by lifting others!
It’s not about how much we have but having the mind to help when and where we can! Together, we can all make the world a better place!!! Thank You King David for impacting the world positively….thank you!
Nigeria's former vice-president Atiku Abubakar has also showed his love for the singer with this social media message particularly, as he clocks 29 today"Dear @davido, thank you for making the lifting of others a cornerstone of your endeavour.
