Davido’s father bought me my first laptop – Mr Macaroni

Popular Nigerian Comedian, Debo Adedayo, well known as Mr Macaroni, has revealed that Dr. Deji Adeleke, the father of award-winning singer, Davido, bought him his first laptop ever, saying the businessman was one of his greatest inspirations.

Mr Macaroni, who made the disclosure via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday, said he learnt the act of giving and helping others from Adeleke.

The famous comedian added that Adeleke always sent him money when he was an undergraduate in the university.

He wrote: “If you think Davido is a great giver or is easily accessible, then you need to meet his dad; Dr Deji Adeleke.

“Dr Adeleke is one of my greatest inspirations. Since the days of SDA Magodo, I learnt the art of giving and helping others from him.

“When I first got admission into Uni, Dr Deji Adeleke bought me my first Laptop ever. For every time I needed money in school, all it took was for me to send a text message. I abused the access, but he remained kind and generous.

“God bless you Chairman. Thank you for everything. This is why I rarely get upset when it comes to these matters.

“Through Chairman, I learnt simplicity, humility and above all love. This and other reasons are why the love in my heart will forever be greater than the hate in the world. Love always,” Mr Macaroni stated.
