The First Lady of Nigeria, Remi Tinubu, has made a passionate appeal to music stars, Davido, Burna Boy and Asake.
While inspecting the National Community Food Bank Project for North Central, she appealed to young people across the country to help the struggling. According to her, she wants to see them come together under one foundation to help the póor with their money.
Remi said that though the Maybachs and Rolls-Royce are good, they can still help others. She added that the burden is too much on the government.

Controversial singer Portable, in an appeal to his senior colleagues, Burna Boy, Wizkid and Davido, told them to help upcoming artists. He admonished them to invest in upcoming singers and help him too.
Last month, while addressing the State House Correspondents after the Renewed Hope Initiative’s second-quarter meeting, Remi had advised struggling citizens to consider small-scale businesses such as selling akara, roasted corn, and kuli-kuli. She had said they require little capital to start.
Two years ago, the Ooni of Ife sparked outrage when he unveiled a statue of Remi Tinubu during her inauguration visit to OAU, where she donated a billion.
While speaking at the event, the Ooni lauded the President’s wife for serving as a role model to young ones since her days as First Lady of Lagos State. He disclosed that he had been a keen admirer of her, and stated that the statue symbolises her remarkable leadership, commitment to education, and advocacy for women’s empowerment.
On Remi’s 62nd birthday, actress Eniola Badmus penned a lengthy note to her revealing how Remi had been a blessing to her. Describing her as the most wonderful woman she has ever known, Eniola Badmus highlighted her unique qualities.
In celebration of her big day, Eniola treated her to a bouquet, cakes, luxury gifts and more. Remi, who was no doubt taken aback, couldn’t stop smiling.
