During a conversation on the ‘Doyin’s Corner podcast with ‘Big Brother Naija star Doyin, a statement was made regarding Davido’s failure to fulfill his ₦20 million giveaway pledge.
Last year, the popular singer announced his intention to distribute ₦20 million among 20 people, which garnered attention and anticipation.
The Twitter influencer, Daniel Regha, came across Davido’s tweet about the giveaway on March 16, 2022, and expressed his desire for the artist to utilize his funds differently.
Daniel suggested that instead of gifting the money to individuals directly, Davido should consider visiting hospitals, and schools, and utilizing social media platforms, including his comment sections, to identify those in urgent need of financial assistance.
Daniel believed that this approach would ensure that the money reaches those who genuinely require support, as he expressed concern that many people would potentially misuse the funds if given to them.
The Twitter critic further stated his reasons for rejecting money from certain individuals.
He emphasized the importance of keeping promises, using Davido’s unfulfilled pledge as an example of raising people’s hopes and subsequently letting them down without any explanation. According to the critic, the only justifiable reason for retracting such promises would be if the recipient was unworthy or engaged in unethical activities. The critic also expressed skepticism about some celebrities who make giveaway pledges solely as a publicity stunt to boost their social media engagement, highlighting the need for authenticity and genuine intentions behind such gestures.
The conversation shed light on the responsibility of public figures to follow through on their commitments and the potential impact of their actions on people’s lives.
