If he had said the Nigerian economy was good, You all would have said it is because he is rich – Actress, Anita Joseph slams Davido’s critics

Nollywood actress Anita Joseph has weighed in on the criticism directed at singer Davido following his remarks about Nigeria’s economy.

In a recent interview, Davido advised Nigerians in the diaspora against returning home, citing the current economic challenges. His statement sparked backlash, with critics arguing that such remarks could deter potential foreign investors.

Addressing the controversy in an Instagram Story, Anita defended the singer, suggesting that Davido would have faced criticism regardless of his stance. “If he had said the Nigerian economy was good, people would still attack him,” she noted, implying that the backlash stems from perceptions of his wealth and disconnect from the struggles of ordinary Nigerians.
