Nigerian singer Dauda Kahutu has stirred reactions online after criticizing fellow artiste Davido for displaying the names of 45 abducted schoolchildren on a jacket during his appearance at the FIFA World Cup.
Reacting to the gesture, Kahutu described Davido’s action as wrong and controversial, arguing that taking such a sensitive national issue to an international stage was inappropriate. According to him, the move exposed Nigeria’s internal challenges before a global audience and could damage the country’s image abroad.
Davido’s jacket, which featured the names of children reportedly affected by insecurity, was widely interpreted by many as an effort to draw international attention to the plight of victims and their families. Supporters of the singer praised the gesture, saying it helped amplify an important humanitarian issue that deserves global awareness and action.
However, critics sided with Kahutu, insisting that national security concerns should be handled carefully and not showcased on a platform watched by millions around the world.
The controversy has since sparked intense debate across social media, with Nigerians divided over whether Davido’s decision was a courageous act of advocacy or an unnecessary exposure of the country’s challenges on the international stage.
As discussions continue, the incident has once again highlighted differing opinions on the role celebrities should play in addressing social and political issues.
