soro.soke.777701: Nigerians don’t deserve good leader but wors¢…. not everything we should be adding sentiment. Let’s learn how to say wrong thing is bad even if the person is close to you. Many gullibl¢ comments everywhere. They must be a discussion between the organizer and Davido’s team before sending the money and if Davido can’t make, he should apologize ahead and refund back the money. It’s show business.

emprince_million: OBO collect the money go give orphanage home, because them no dey help the poor.

robinsonmathew001: All of wonna wey dey talk nonsense about Warri, no place for this Nigeria wey better reach Warri for person to stay peacefully. Because they dey say Warri people stubborn wonna won take advantage take dey spoil Warri name. Warri nor dey take nonsense from anybody na be the stubborn wey Warri stubborn. No State for this Nigeria better reach Delta State for comfort living.
