Davido, Wizkid and Aisha Yesufu, who made the most sense?
Aisha Yesufu
Two are musicians and one a business woman. They are all activists in their own ways.
Wizkid won an endorsement worth $3m and Davido
Davidoadvised that rather than go after endorsements, people should aspire for ownership.
When he was reminded of the size of the endorsement, he retorted that it could all go for him into shopping. At that stage, Aisha Yesufu joined the fray. Meanwhile, from Wizkid mum is the word.
For Aisha, who is a business woman, her own response to Davido is that the likes of Dangote would rather make their money work for them instead of shopping.
Now who has made the most sense?
When record label owner and showbiz personality, Collins Ajere aka Don Jazzy said sometime ago, that he was done with endorsements, I really wondered what he was about? Although, he has so far not walked the talk.
But then Davido, who is not only a musician and record label owner and the son of a billionaire was actually toeing the same line of argument about ownership.
For Aisha, a business woman it is all about Investment instead of consumption.
This brings me to mind of a story told of American Billionaire Nelson Rockefeller and his son. The billionaire father went to an hotel and asked for the cheapest room.
The receptionist, looked surprised and told the billionaire, that his son usually asked for the most expensive room. In response, Rockefeller, told the receptionist, that, while his son had him a billionaire for a father, he the billionaire did not have a billionaire for a father.
I guess Davido's father would not go for shopping with $3m.
Interesting and thought provoking writeup. However, in my opinion, i think Davido's response is misconstrued. His assertion that the money could be spent on shopping meant that he would rather aim for the money bag than handouts from it. The young man is dreaming big and wanting to own the businesses giving out the endorsements rather than the endorsements.
