Veteran Nollywood actor, Kanayo O Kanayo has backed singer, Davido’s controversial remarks on Nigeria’s economy.
Davido had during his appearance on ‘The Big Homies House’ podcast in the US, highlighted Nigeria’s challenges, saying that “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles.”
Davido stated this while advising Black Americans against relocating to Nigeria.
His remarks which didn’t sit well with many Nigerians, have continued to be a subject of criticism, with some demanding an apology from him.
Responding to the controversy, Kanayo defended the singer’s right to free speech, stating that Davido made the comments to speak for the poor Nigerians amid the country’s economic hardship.
Kanayo in a video shared on Instagram said; “@davido spoke his mind, isn’t it? Respect his views too. The Adelek’s can feed for life but it will be unholy if they assume all is ok because they are OK.
“Make una leave Davido alone over the comment he made. It is freedom of speech and he made the statement in good faith. It is left for those in power to work harder to give us a better Nigeria.
“Some people say he should apologize, for what? Those who criticize us want the best out of us. Davido speaks for other Nigerians who cannot feed.”
Big Brother Naija host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu has criticised the Season 11 housemates for their lack of energy and initiative during their first week on the reality show.
Ebuka delivered the assessment during Sunday night’s live show, saying many of the contestants appeared to be waiting for events to unfold instead of creating memorable moments.
He said he initially believed the housemates were still adjusting to their new environment but became concerned after watching their preparations for the wager task.
“Too many of you were just not there. I thought it was just day two and you all were trying to acclimatise,” he said.
“Then the wager task happened, but the build-up to it was lackadaisical, especially from the ladies. I did not want to think too much of it.”
Ebuka said the pool party also failed to produce the level of excitement expected from the contestants.
“But then, I watched the pool party. It was more like I did not watch it because I went to bed at some point. It was not just it,” he said.
The host urged the housemates to become more proactive and take greater control of their experience in the house.
“I have been trying to find the word to describe the week, and I think the right word to use is that there are so many of you waiting for things to happen, and not many of you are making things happen,” he added.
His remarks served as a wake-up call to the contestants as the reality show entered its second week.
