Ruggedman Backs Davido on Economy Comments and Urges Government to Solve Nigeria’s Problems
Veteran rapper Michael Ugochukwu Stephens, popularly known as Ruggedman, has spoken out in defense of afrobeats superstar Davido following the backlash over his recent remarks about Nigeria’s struggling economy.
Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke, stirred controversy during a podcast interview where he advised Americans against relocating to Africa, particularly Nigeria.
He described the country’s economy as being in a dire state, referring to it as a “shamble.”
Responding to the criticism, Ruggedman took to his X (formerly Twitter) handle to share his perspective.
He argued that Davido’s comments were not far from the truth and called on the government to address the real issue—the deteriorating state of the economy.
According to Ruggedman, fixing the nation’s problems should take priority over attacking Davido for stating what many Nigerians experience daily.
He wrote, “Davido has said what he said. Now, moving forward, the government should focus on fixing Nigeria so that nobody will have reasons to make such comments again.
All this barking everywhere won’t solve the problem. The hardship is too much.”
Nigerian singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
