weinerplus:

“Is there a Nigerian that hasn’t said what Davido said?. There’s literally no investor who will be deterred by Davido’s comments. Nigeria’s poor governance is LITERALLY common knowledge to the universe.. Anyways let them cancel the show. He’s still wealthy.”

“Over them all OBO, speak your truth, speak on it !!”
