My eyes don see shege, but steady, my fans dey shout shekpe!” This heartfelt message shows how much Davido values his life and the support he gets from his fans.
As part of his tradition of giving back to society, Davido made an exciting announcement on his birthday. Through his charity, the David Adeleke Foundation (DAF), the singer pledged a generous ₦300 million to help orphanages and support initiatives aimed at reducing drug abuse among Nigerian youth. Davido’s commitment to social causes is well-known, and his latest donation is in line with his ongoing efforts to make a positive impact in Nigeria.
The announcement came in a statement from the David Adeleke Foundation, which was shared with the public on the morning of Davido’s birthday. The foundation emphasized its mission to help vulnerable individuals across the country. Since its creation in 2022, the foundation has been working tirelessly to support underserved communities. Through its donations, the foundation has been able to change the lives of many Nigerians by providing aid to orphanages, funding grassroots projects, and supporting young people struggling with addiction.
The ₦300 million donation announced by Davido on his birthday will go towards two main causes. A portion of the funds will be directed to orphanages, while the remaining funds will support organizations that work to reduce drug abuse among young people in Nigeria. This charitable act is another testament to the singer’s dedication to making a difference, especially in the lives of young Nigerians. His generosity continues to inspire many and proves that even celebrities can have a lasting, positive impact on society.
Fans and well-wishers have flooded Davido with praise and congratulations, not only for his birthday but also for his continued support of important causes. His philanthropic efforts are not new, as he has made similar donations in the past. In February 2024, Davido donated ₦300 million to orphanages across Nigeria. Back in November 2021, he gave ₦250 million to 292 orphanages in celebration of his 29th birthday. He also made another significant donation of ₦237 million in July 2023 to over 400 orphanages in the country.
This latest donation is part of Davido’s broader commitment to helping those in need. By focusing on both orphanages and youth drug addiction prevention, he aims to tackle critical social issues that affect many Nigerians. His continued generosity not only helps to improve the lives of those who directly benefit from his donations but also sets an example for others in the music industry and beyond to follow. Davido’s efforts highlight the power of giving back and using one’s platform to bring about real change.
As he celebrates his 32nd birthday, Davido’s fans and followers are reminded of the artist’s dedication to helping those less fortunate. His charitable acts continue to shine a light on important causes, showing that with great success comes the responsibility to make a difference. This birthday donation is just one of many ways Davido is leaving a legacy of kindness and generosity in his home country.
