Promptly, they responded and eventually he netted two hundred million naira. Promptly too, he topped it up with fifty million naira. He raised the stakes further by announcing a gender-balanced committee of Nigerians with respectable social standing to administer the funds for orphanages and relevant foundations all over Nigeria. And although Davido had been publicly identified with an unmistakable leader in the Banking sector in the past, First Bank, he revealed yet another surprise.
Incidentally, though Adeeyo was a man of letters, not much has been published in the media to celebrate his legacy. This is why the singular intervention of a resilient journalism veteran, Alhaji Olumide Lawal, deserves all appreciation. Also born in Ede, Osun State, like Dr Adeeyo, Alhaji Lawal described Sir Eyo as “an illustrious son of Edeland and a phenomenon”. According to him the entire Ede universe stood still on learning of Dr Adeeyo’s passage.
By the special grace of God, Davido, beyond the level of his father, has become a global player. But he shouldn’t wait to be persuaded to do more for the birthplace of the Adeleke dynasty where he is well loved and probably being worshipped by some wannabe folks.
