“Leave Davido Alone, He Spoke for Struggling Nigerians” – Kanayo O Kanayo
Veteran Nollywood actor Kanayo O Kanayo has come out in support of Davido, following the hate over the singer’s recent comments about Nigeria’s struggling economy.
During an appearance on The Big Homies House podcast in the United States, Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, discussed Nigeria’s economic challenges, describing the situation as dire.
He advised African Americans against relocating to the country, stating, “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles.”
His remarks quickly went viral and sparked outrage among some Nigerians who accused the singer of tarnishing the nation’s image.
Others even demanded an apology, claiming his comments were unnecessary and damaging.
Kanayo, however, strongly defended Davido’s right to express his opinion, emphasizing that the singer was merely shedding light on the struggles many Nigerians face daily.
In a video shared on his Instagram page, the veteran actor urged critics to focus their energy on addressing the issues raised rather than attacking the messenger.
According to Kanayo, Davido’s wealth and privileged background do not invalidate his concerns about the country’s economic challenges.
He said, “Davido spoke his mind. Why should that be a problem? Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and he expressed his in good faith.
The Adeleke family is wealthy enough to live comfortably for life, but it would be wrong for him to ignore the struggles of ordinary Nigerians just because he’s okay.
His comments represent the voices of many people who can’t speak up for themselves.”
Kanayo dismissed calls for Davido to apologize, arguing that criticism often comes from a place of love and a desire for improvement.
He added that the responsibility lies with those in power to address the issues highlighted by the singer rather than deflecting blame onto him.
“Why should he apologize? For telling the truth? Davido speaks for millions of Nigerians who are struggling to make ends meet.
If his comments upset anyone, they should take it as a challenge to do better and improve the state of the country,” Kanayo remarked.
Nigerian pastor Dolapo Lawal spoke on the reality of living abroad and what people do not see online.
He shared the insight that many Nigerians who relocate to other countries mainly move there for survival and not necessarily for wealth.
“How many people you know that are in the UK who are billionaires? They go there to survive. They don’t go there to be rich. All of them are going there to do care jobs. They’re going there to survive.”
He then shared that it is better to be a billionaire in Nigeria and stated that success can sometimes come easier at home than relocating abroad.
Sandra has spoken out and broken her silence on the alleged affair involving Chike. She shared that she was faithful throughout her marriage and claimed that only Frank Edoho cheated.
Sandra revealed that Frank allegedly cheated multiple times and even claimed that a particular woman was frequently seen around their home, stating that he was definitely involved with her.
She also stated that she has evidence against Frank, including receipts from hotels and places where he allegedly met with his dates.
Popular singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy have reportedly released “Daidia,” a song linked to the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It was also noted that the two artists are expected to perform during the event, and the song for the occasion has now been released.
This will not be the first time Shakira will perform for the World Cup. Whenever her name is mentioned, many people remember “Waka Waka,” the iconic World Cup song released for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to take place from June 11, 2026, to July 19, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
Many fans are already excited and cannot wait to see the live performance on the big stage.
