There has been a whole lot of brohaha about the recent statement credited to David Adeleke (Davido).
The Truth is that as Nigerians we cannot run away from the truth about the state of our beloved nation.
As a matter of fact the absolute truth about our beloved nation and our dwindling economy is general knowledge to all and sundry globally.
Yes Nigeria is abundantly blessed but we cannot survive on being blessed alone.
It is worthy to note that this challenge is not limited to this adminstration but the truth remains sacroscant it is what it is.
Americans and foreigners generally before leaving there respective countrys even on holidays are given full dossiers on the countries they are visiting not to talk of a Country were they intend relocating to or investing.
Has Davido lied about our current economic predicament in Nigeria …Hell no, factually he hasnt
He has simply spoken his truth, our common truth that a lot of people for reasons best known to them find difficult to ascertain,this discuss lingers on literarily in every corner across the globe.
With the dollar rate rising every day as Nigerians,we spend more time praying to God for his devine mercys rather than finding solutions to our humongus challenges.
Davido thou born in Atlanta has renowned vested interests in Nigeria in business and politics through his personal investments, his families interest and flourishing political dynasty in Osun State .
His ongoing phillantropic gestures are second to none at his age as such he has no reason whatsover to distort the facts about Nigeria his beloved Country, that has given him and his family so much admiration and generational wealth.
He proudly propagates the Nigerian Flag globally and at every given opportunity affirms the Nigerian in him.
How then does Davido saying the honest truth about what everybody knows become a major triversty.
We live in a Country were we are promised heaven and earth on a daily basis.
A Country were unarmed protesters are shot at and killed with live bullets,a Country were our standard of living is determined by the ever rising dollar rate, were the exodus and relocation of companys and its people has become an accepted norm.
A Country were we virtually provide all our basic needs ie Shelter,Light,Water etc.
An oil producing nation were petrol is sold at N1300 per litre .
A Country were basically anything goes.
As echoed by a lot of people and in particular my dear broda Ruggedy Baba the way forward is for the Government to do the needful by changing the narative and making life easier for the common man and creating an enabling enviroment for business to flourish.
More importantly creating a Country were foreigners will love to visit and invest in.
A lot of lyricals have been waxed on the Nigerian economic situation and hardship since kingdom come ala Idris Abdul Kareems (Nigeria JagaJaga)22 years ago and more,still the same story and worse off,so why the force about a very Hardworking Creative and Talented young man saying his truth about our common truth.
Davido spoke his truth,our common truth the way forward is for the Government to change the narative by making Nigeria the toast of the world.
