    Paul Okoye Defends Davido Over Controversial Comment on Nigeria’s Economy

    Published on

    Show promoter Paul Okoye, better known as Paul O, has come to the defense of Nigerian singer Davido, who recently faced backlash for advising black Americans against relocating to Nigeria. Davido’s comments, made during an interview on The Big Homies House podcast, have sparked controversy, with many Nigerians criticizing the singer for warning about the economic situation in the country.

    The singer, who was born in Atlanta but raised in Nigeria, expressed his doubts about the growing trend of Africans in the diaspora returning to the continent. He cited Nigeria’s economic struggles, saying, “It’s not cool back home…The economy now is in shambles.”

    His remarks sparked a wave of criticism online, with detractors claiming that such statements could harm Nigeria’s image and discourage foreign investment.

    In response, Paul Okoye took to Instagram to slam the critics. He defended Davido, calling them “mad people” and pointing out that the singer was merely speaking the truth. Paul acknowledged the economic challenges Nigeria faces, including the exodus of global companies and the hardships local businesses are enduring.

    “Please make una leave Davido. Mad people. Davido spoke the truth. Nigeria’s current economic state is soooo bad and with global companies leaving, local businesses facing significant losses, it’s clear we’re facing challenges. Let’s acknowledge the reality and work towards a better future. God bless Nigeria,” Paul wrote on Instagram.

    Okoye’s post highlights the need for Nigerians to confront the country’s economic issues and work together for a better future, urging his followers to focus on solutions rather than attacking the truth.
