Area Boy Recounts How Lekki Neighbours Battled Davido And Wife Chioma For Generosity To Homeless Boys
When Davido was still living at his house in Lekki, on Admiralty that year, because of we boys who used to stay around his house, the government and Lekki association brought a letter saying that Davido was disturbing the neighbourhood.
It wasn’t because of his people oo, it was because of us who didn’t have house and were living outside his house.
All the landlords brought a letter and said Davido was disturbing the neighbourhood, that he should chase us away from the entrance of his house.
One midnight, OBO came out and told us, “Una see wetin una don cause now, they don give me letter say una dey make this place dey noisy.” And it wasn’t a lie. He now asked us, “Where are you people going to go now?” He come dey pity us.
He still woke up the next day and said, “Howfar? Make una come buy food.” Over 30 boys! Food that we couldn’t eat or buy with our own money. Rich food with chicken, turkey, everything.
Sometimes, when he’s bored, he will come out and tell us to sing his songs and dash us money just to make us happy.
One day, Lekki s£cur!ty officers came to pack all of us. OBO came out and pleaded with them to leave us and told us to go outside, which we did.
This particular year, OBO posted on his story, “I’m missing my guys,” like him dey miss us.
If Aunty Chioma came home that time, once she’s around, she would look around to see if anyone wasn’t observing and tip us with ₦200k. She didn’t want anyone to see or know that she was giving out money.
She would even say, “Don’t tell anyone I gave you guys money,” because she knew that if they knew she had already dashed us money, they might not buy us food for that day.
That lady na better woman.
Davido has done so many good things for people. Old women for Lekki go come him house, Aboki people too.
OBO, nothing go fall you for life. If you come down, na from your jet you come down, and if you fall, na on top bed you go fall put…”
