Rarara's Criticism of Davido Sparks Online Backlash
Dauda Kahutu Rarara criticized David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, for his message during the FIFA World Cup 2026 countdown concert in Los Angeles, where he wore a jacket with the words "Bring Home" and referenced the abduction of schoolchildren in Oyo State. Rarara's comments, which suggested that Davido's actions painted Nigeria in a bad light on an international stage, quickly drew backlash from online users.
Many accused Rarara of attacking Davido instead of focusing on the pressing issues of insecurity in Nigeria. Davido responded to the criticism with a post on X (formerly Twitter), emphasizing the importance of addressing the country's problems rather than engaging in personal attacks.
He urged Nigerians not to remain silent about insecurity. The exchange highlighted a divide in perspectives, with some users defending Davido's stance while criticizing Rarara for not addressing the broader issues affecting northern Nigeria.
