• He described the singer’s statement as dense and shared how Davido goofed without thinking about his father’s investments in Nigeria
• The movie star would not be the first to react to Davido’s statement and his post gathered mixed reactions from Nigerians

Nollywood actor Patrick Doyle has criticised Grammy-nominated singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, for discouraging foreigners from investing in Nigeria.

The Unavailable hitmaker noted that Nigeria’s economy is in shambles and Americans should not bother about relocating to the country.

According to Doyle, Davido‘s statement was dense because his father Dr Adedeji Adeleke has a $2 billion power generation investment in the country. Hence, he felt Davido ought to know much better.

Some netizens asked Doyle to cut Davido some slack while others said that President Bola Tinubu has said worse things about the country.
