In the spirit of the trending report of one of the Nigerian leading new generation music star Davido raising N250 million of Naira on his birthday to give to the poor, the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and the immediate past President of the Nigerian Senate Dr. Bukola Saraki have both taken to their respective official Facebook pages to commend the young musician celebrity.
Congratulating Davido, the former Vice President said:
“Dear Davido, thank you for making the lifting of others, a cornerstone of your endeavour. I join your family and friends and millions of your fans in wishing you a memorable birthday. I wish you more years in good health, more award-winning music and, above all, lifting others”.
In that same spirit, the former Senate President posted a picture of himself and Davido on Facebook page monitored by 9Nigeria on this tone:
“This past week, we all watched Davido ‘playfully’ raise over N250 million from his friends, business associates, and other well-wishers for orphans across the country using Instagram. Since he was a young boy, David has always had a persuasive charm, a great deal of talent and energy, and the ability to accomplish what others describe as “impossible” — through his sheer grit and hard work.
As he celebrates his birthday today, I congratulate him for becoming a fine young man who continues to positively impact lives through his music and philanthropy.
May Almighty God continue to reward your efforts” Saraki prayed for the music star.
Atiku Abubakar and Bukola Saraki admirations of Davido’s goodwill to the less privileged got Nigerians commenting on their respective post on Facebook that they should emulate the gesture of the young musician instead of wasting their monies on frivolities, greed and endless political aggrandizement.
Davido had within the week raised N201 million Naira from friends and acquaintances and have added N50 million of his personal fund which he said would be shared to orphanages accros Nigeria.
Hitherto, a five man sharing Committee of the said funds has already be nominated by him and made public to distribute the funds to the less privileged
