A video making the rounds online has captured a rare and humorous moment between two of Nigeria’s biggest business moguls—Adedeji Adeleke, father of Afrobeats superstar Davido, and Africa’s wealthiest man, Aliko Dangote. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
In the clip, both men are seen at an event, sharing a lighthearted conversation and exchanging pleasantries with close associates. The moment that stole the show? When Davido’s father jokingly referred to Aliko Dangote as his “younger brother” and a “small boy.”
For those wondering about the age comparison—Eyes of Lagos reports that Adedeji Adeleke was born on March 6, 1957, while Dangote was born a month later on April 10, 1957. That’s right—technically, Davido’s dad is the elder by just a few weeks!
As expected, social media users couldn’t hold back their reactions:
💬 Ezeudo Foster: “Tell a poor man he’s a small boy, and you’ll see another side of him! Everything is wrong with being broke. The way I fear poverty, God abeg oo.”
💬 Ifeanyi Ezemari: “See how rich men joke and play as friends, but a poor man will be looking for who to bewitch out of bitterness and jealousy.”
💬 Albert: “Rich people dey play, but poor man wan put mouth. Association of Poor People of Nigeria, abeg make una mind una business o!”
💬 Gloria Dokitsma: “Na rich people talk, nothing concern me.”
💬 Oketa Sunny: “Poor people fighting because of rich people talk.”
