DAVIDO Again: Now He Loses On Both Sides!

To lose as a team might not put much pain on just anybody simply because the burden is shared in the team. However it poses very grave consequences when an individual loses, he bears all the pains. This is the situation that Nigeria's pop sensation Davido is going through right now. Just last weekend, news broke-out that Wizkid performed to almost an empty audience at a gig in Abuja. And yesterday the much anticipated "new official" video of hit song 'Skelewu' dropped. But to much dismay, the video didn't live up to its hype at all. Refreshing our memories, last week Davido condemned the supposed video of Skelewu shot by ace director Sesan, describing it "not up to standards" while assuring of a better video to be coordinated by UK based Nigerian director Moe Musa. Very unfortunately, assessing the new 'official' video is nothing but well below standards; even when compared the one directed by Sesan is way better than Moe Musa's. Acknowledging the factors responsible for this unfortunate situation that HKN is deeply immersed in, particularly its hunchman Davido, one major indicator to all these could be tagged as "sheer foolishness of an artiste - the over dependent on money". Yes. Really if it wasn't for the strong financial backup he's enjoying from his rich dad, we wouldn't have given recognition to who Davido is till this moment. No wonder he wasn't mong the 'Top 10 List of Bankable Nigerian Artistes' released by Forbes Africa last month. Clearly Davido has shown how it is true that - though money could motivate but it is not a great influence to achieving genuine creativity. In-born natural talent is obviously different from mere ability. What 'Omo Baba Olowo' should understand is one cannot rubbish the craftwork of a genius and get away with it - it is the law of karma! And I'm sure ace director Sesan would be smiling right now after the ridiculous Skelewu video shot by Moe Musa (a video which couldn't reveal atleast a 45secs of Skelewu dance steps). If I were to anayse the video, it would definitely take a stretch, so I would leave that to you the readers to watch and bear your thoughts on it.

Sure he's feeling the heat at this moment and cannot blame anybody for his downturn but flawless stupidity!
