Why Patrick Doyle believes Davido’s song, ‘If’ is bad for Nigerian youths

Veteran media personality, Patrick Doyle has faulted Davido‘s hit song ‘If’ as having a negative influence on young people.

Doyle said this in a recent interview with HipTV, saying pop culture impacts people in a very subtle and insidious manner, going on to reference the popular ‘thirty billion for the account o’ line from the song.

According to him, Davido may not understand what he has done by singing that line, which he says could influence a child to wanting to make such an amount by any means necessary; even if it’s criminal.

Do you agree with him that Davido’s popular line in the song is negative on young ones?
