Mr Macaroni: Davido’s father bought me my first laptop

Mr Macaroni, the Nigerian comedian, has revealed that Deji Adeleke, father to Davido, bought him his first ever laptop.

The entertainer was reflecting on how the ‘OBO’ singer’s father influenced his life and penchant for giving in a Twitter thread on Wednesday.

According to him, when he got admission into the university, the billionaire businessman was the one he ran to whenever he was in need of money.

“If you think Davido is a great giver or is easily accessible, then you need to meet his dad; Dr Deji Adeleke. Dr Adeleke is one of my greatest inspirations. Since the days of SDA Magodo, I learnt the art of giving and helping others from him,” he wrote.

The 28-year-old comedian said despite abusing the access he had to the entrepreneur, Adeleke still managed to accommodate him.

“When I first got admission into university Dr Deji Adeleke bought me my first laptop ever. For every time I needed money in school, all it took was for me to send a text message. I abused the access, but he remained kind and generous. God bless you Chairman. Thank you for everything,” he added.

“This is why I rarely get upset when it comes to these matters. Through Chairman, I learnt simplicity, humility and above all Love. This and other reasons is why the love in my heart will forever be greater than the hate in the world. Love always.”
