Social media users blast Baba Fryo

Read some of their comments below:

King_keni12:

“Oga work your way out in life and stop depending on human ….nobody owe you a dime in life….only the f**lish will listen to what you are saying,if they can’t help you,help yourself and prove to the world that you survive without them.”

Iamxtreme12:

“ baba is still frustrated... baba you for write Davido privately and say come my friend I am not okay oh bro.. make them show me love na, instead of this entitlement you Dey find like say na your right. Plus how una take be colleague sef? Una work work for same office or as how?”

Nliammike:

“We say no to iniquity.....giving is a great virtue but truth is many privileged people I know give publicly in order to receive accolades and increase their popularity, they shun giving in private because their is no publicity to be gained by that. I'm not saying that this is d case with Davido because I hear he does more giving in private....I wonder why he and others didn't respond to u in ur time of distress. Well I think in all things good and bad, there are lessons to be learnt. I don't depend on man but God,therefore any man that helps me is just a vessel for God to reach me. It's well .”
