Social Media Roundup: Davido’s fundraising, P-Square reunites and others

Hi guys! Hope you had a good week. This is a safe place so feel free to relax and catch up on all the gist that happened on social media this week.

Celebrity musician, Davido completely owned the trends table this week with his birthday fundraising. Chizom dragged tech through the mud again. A woman shared her marriage experience and of course, people pitched in. Then the resurrection of P-Square definitely made waves.

Without further ado, let’s get right into it.

Davido’s fundraising

Superstar musician, Davido asked people he has worked with to send him money. He then shared his bank details, saying he needed to clear his Rolls Royce from the port.

What started as a joke became serious business as his peers in the music industry and fans alike sent him money. Brands and footballers like Oshoala and Ndidi sent him money. Even a king, Oba Elegushi sent the singer the sum of N5m.

The total amount of funds gathered is gradually moving up to N200m, excluding contributions that were made using cryptocurrency. Davido, known for his kindness even said he might give all the money away.

In a show of love, someone mistakenly sent Davido N5,000 twice. Man quickly cried out for a refund.

P-Square reunion

In a turn of events, Peter and Paul Okoye have come back together after 5 years of beefing and running solo careers. The duo followed each other back on Instagram and even met in person.

Fans expressed their joy at the reunion and insisted on a new hit to rock the December season with.

Psquare is back, that's all that matters rn.

Even if they sing rubbish, it's going to Number 1 on every chart.

Anticipate!!!

The brothers then asked fans to send them money, in Davido’s style saying two heads are better than one. Fans that were glad at the reunion were quick to unleash violence.

Sapa hold Psquare them remember say two heads are better than one.

It's the audacity of psquare to come ask for birthday money after putting us through the trauma of their separation for 5 years.

If anything they should be donating money to their fans who waited patiently.

Double coconut heads.

Tech bro in the mud

The founder of Code Hub Africa, Chisom Echehieuka has apologised for his misconduct after he was called out on Twitter for making advances towards a lady who applied for a scholarship at his academy.

The issue however still made rounds on social media with many still airing their opinions.

The only way I can explain the Chizom thing besides the gross sexism and infidelity addiction is that poverty is truly a bastard. In an intensely poor country where opportunities are scarce, it’s a predator’s paradise.

It is interesting to note that some people were of the opinion that the girl also had some fault in the issue.

Exactly… she isn’t a serious type cause if she is, she should have put aside the issue of sharing blunt with him and concentrate on what she wanna learn from tech bro, mind you I’m not justifying the tech bro … but she’s also at fault.

One thing Nigerians never run out of is humor.

HQ received intel on a possible terrorist attack by a certain tech bro alias @chizom_

He is armed, horny and ready to kush on slight provocation.

Your task is to move in, assess the situation and apprehend the suspect

Marriage brouhaha

I was young and free. Just before clocking 30 and dating this guy I thought the world of. I earned like 5-10 times as much as he did. He wanted us to be married. It felt great and right only that some older people said No. Reason? I earned way higher.

— Nike Adexa (@naikiadex) November 16, 2021

The above tweet is how Nike opened the floodgates of opinions on social media. For context, she got married to a man who was earning way lower than she did; against elderly peoples opinions. According to her, her ex-husband started asking her for money to fund his projects but she did not give him any because she did not want him to live off her.

This led to their divorce and as usual, people had their opinions to air.

This actually proves that a woman can take up financial burden for a time,a year maybe 5 years,but as a role?? Lmaoooo.

They just can't sit and see themselves sharing bills and houses chores with their man 50-50

1. Men can marry down but women should think twice about it
2. Men can support their wives dreams but women should always keep their money
3. The person that earns more controls the relationship/ marriage.

What a mess!

— HalfMan/HalfAmazing (@victorthe12th) November 16, 2021

The two of you are confused. You allowed older people to dictate your love life. That's shallow. Is he useless to you? I guess no. So, what's the money issue? You seem to value money over love. I know marriages where wife earns more, and they are still together.
