Recall that Davido first told him to return home and later backtracked, urging Emmanuel to provide his account details, in a bid to reward him financially. The young man politely turned down the singer's offer on Twitter as he again expressed his longing desire to meet with Davido.

He, however, left the room open for the singer to still 'bless' him in person if he still chooses to. In his words:
" I didn't drop it (his account details on Twitter like Davido requested) because all I want is to meet him and present my gift to him and then if he decides to bless me he will.
"My primary reason is never the money but seeing him as I have been longing to."
When asked about the nature of the gift he wants to deliver to Davido, Emmanuel, popularly known as Emmiwuks, declined to reveal it. He prefers to keep it a secret until its unveiling.
Davido tells Emmanuel to turn back
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that Davido had told Emmanuel to turn back.
It all started when a Twitter user, @Ssbmuzik, shared photos of another user, @emmiwuks, journeying from Benue state to Lagos on a bicycle to meet Davido.
According to the tweep, @Emmiwuks had already spent eight days on the road in his bid to meet Davido in Lagos.
The Davido fan was also seen carrying a banner of the DMW boss, and his bicycle had an inscription that read ‘Benue to Lagos on a bicycle for Davido.’
Davido soon spotted the tweet about his fan travelling on a bicycle and made sure to react to it. The DMW boss advised the fan to return to where he was coming from. According to Davido, he is not at home.
