| Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido on Tuesday announced that he will donate 300m Naira ($197,000; £156,000) to orphanages in his country. | |
| "I and my foundation pledge the sum of 300 million Naira to orphanages around Nigeria...as my yearly contribution to the nation..details of disbursement tomorrow," Davido shared on a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday. | |
| Davido, real name David Adedeji Adeleke, has in recent years endeared himself to his fans for philanthropic efforts. | |
| In 2021, he ended up collecting 200m naira from his friends and fans after he shared a series of posts on X, then Twitter, asking people to send him money so he could clear his Rolls Royce from the port. | |
| Davido then topped up 50m naira of his own, and donated the total 250m naira to various orphanages in Nigeria. | |
| He went on to create the David Adeleke Foundation the following year. | |
| Since then, Davido and his foundation have donated money to orphanages in Nigeria annually. | |
| Several Nigerians online have commended about the pledge, saying it is timely and could help the recipient orphanages to cope with the aggravating cost-of-living crisis. | |
