Nigerian singer David Adedeji Adeleke could easily have earned himself heroic status in his home country.
Despite being born in Atlanta Georgia, in the United States, the singer and producer has always it clear that he has a great love for his home country Nigeria, and identifies as being Nigerian more than being an American-Nigerian.
This comes after the 31-year-old who goes by the stage name Davido announced that he will be donating three million naira (equivalent to R3.8 million) to various orphanages across the country.
Taking to social media the Na Money hit-maker wrote:
“I and my foundation pledge the sum of 300 million Naira to orphanages around Nigeria… as my yearly contribution to the Nation… details of disbursement tomorrow”
Later the singer shared a screenshot revealing that the money had been paid into his account and ready to be distributed.
FOUNDATION ACCOUNT CREDITED…. More details to follow soon https://t.co/jje2JMfvpk pic.twitter.com/5tKntDDeQQ

However, there have been others who were not impressed by his announcement adding that he made similar promises before but failed to live up to it.
Davido the public is yet to hear from u regarding the N20m for 20 people giveaway; U are making new promises but haven’t fulfilled ur old pledge(s)? There’s also the Tule challenge. It’s not about hype, making new donations doesn’t write-off old debts, that’s not how it works… pic.twitter.com/V954rYq2C3
