Please help poor Nigerians. The burden is heavy on government - First lady, Remi Tinubu appelas to Davido, Asake, Burna Boy (video)

First Lady, Remi Tinubu, has called on Afrobeats superstars like Burna Boy, Davido and Asake to lend a helping hand to the people in Nigeria through foundations. According to her, the burden of providing for the teeming masses is too heavy for government alone to carry. While speaking at the launch of the National Community Food Bank in Kogi state today, July 11, Mrs Tinubu saidI want to appeal to our young ones in the entertainment industry. Ive mentioned it before, and I will use Akon, a music icon who does a lot of great charity work. The Burna Boys of this world, Asake, all of them, Davido. We want to see you with one foundation or the other, helping the poor with your money.Good cars are good; a Maybach is good. Rolls-Royce is good, but still you can still help. The burden on the government is huge.You can still help. There are pepper sellers. There are vegetable sellers. There are okra sellers, melon sellers, akara kulikuli. Ankara is delicious. I can tell you that, she saidThe first lady also urged Nigerians not to look down on legitimate means of getting financially empowered.And there was once I read an article about a young graduate who said he didnt get a job. And he said he sells Zakara because he couldnt get a job and hes in Abuja.We approached him, but I didnt put my name to it. We equipped him more. He now has 12 workers working under him, and hes doing very, very well. So our people should never despise jobs, she saidWatch a video of Mrs Tinubu speaking below     View this post on Instagram           A post shared by Lindaikejiblog (@lindaikejiblogofficial)  The post Please help poor Nigerians.
