Reno Omokri carpets Baba Fryo over video against Davido’s N250m donation to orphanages

Reno Omokri, Davido and Baba Fryo



Lawyer, human rights activist and ardent critic of President Buhari administration, Reno Omokri, has taken a swipe at Ajegunle ghetto singer, Friday Igwe, better known as Baba Fryo.

The “Dem go dey pose” crooner who became popular in the 1990s with a dancing style known as Galala, had in a video clip he posted days back, condemned Davido for donating N250 millions to orphanages, whereas same Davido looked the other way when he, as a celebrity, was down and needed help some years ago.

“It’s funny that Davido donated N250m to orphans that nobody knows and abandoned me that everybody knows,” Baba Fryo said in the video he posted on the social media.

Responding almost immediately, Omokri took him up with a lengthy post on his Instagram page.

The 47 years old former aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan thundered:

“Honestly, I can’t believe the entitlement mentality that Baba Fryo displayed. How can you condemn Davido’s ₦250 million donation to orphanages because 'someone like me who is popular and well known was not helped, it is people and orphanages that no one knows that is being helped”?

“You say you are popular. Use your popularity to help yourself, and allow the young man help orphans who have no popularity to capitalise on. Scripture says ‘It is good for a man to bear the yoke while he is young’ – Lamentations 3:27.

“What did Fryo do for others when he was on top? No. Wrong question. What did he even do for himself when he was young?

“Has he shown initiative? Did he even publish his account number, like Davido did, and people refused to donate? Other celebrities saw Davido’s action, and instead of complaining, they emulated him, published their account numbers and got love from their fans. Including two twins who just reunited.

“Wow! I have never seen such entitlement in my life. Help me because I am popular? Really? Davido is young enough to be Fryo’s son.

“There is no better advert for the proverb that wisdom does not come with age than the case of Fryo and Davido. Use your youth well so you don’t end up like…”
