In a recent video, media personality Toke Makinwa and singer D’Banj were spotted hanging out with friends. Toke took the opportunity to express her gratitude towards D’Banj, revealing that he had pledged 10 million Naira at her book launch a few years ago and fulfilled his promise by sending the money the very next day. She praised D’Banj for his kind gesture, emphasizing that he didn’t ask for anything in return, unlike many Nigerian men who often expect something in exchange for their help.
Toke’s statement sparked mixed reactions from netizens, with some doubting her claim and others commending D’Banj for his generosity. Some users recalled similar statements made by Funke Akindele, suggesting that D’Banj is indeed a kind-hearted person. However, others questioned Toke’s accuracy, pointing out that she had previously mentioned a different amount during her book launch.
The conversation highlights the rarity of selfless acts in Nigerian culture, where many expect something in return for their help. Toke’s experience with D’Banj serves as a refreshing exception, showcasing his kindness and generosity. Despite the mixed reactions, Toke’s story underscores the importance of acknowledging and appreciating genuine acts of kindness in a society where they are often scarce.
