While this could be seen as trivial by some, others have been quick to point out how hypocritical he has been.In a country where drug laws are strict and enforcement often punitive, Davido’s audacity of defying these rules is a chilling reminder that there are different rules for different individuals depending on their social and economic statuses. What is more shocking about this case is the fact that rather than raise awareness of these double standards through his act, Davido seems content with flouting them.This incident has led to further discussions about how elites get preferential treatment from our judicial system creating doubt on whether justice can ever be done when those in power exercise it at will. One thing is certain though: Davido’s wedding gimmick has sparked off a conflagration which shall take time before it dies out entirely.
