Canada-based Nigerian media personality Shade Ladipo has hailed President Muhammadu Buhari for giving an award to comedian AY over someone she described as “Uncle 30K”.
Before exiting office today, May 29, Buhari conferred national awards to 339 noteworthy Nigerians. On the list are three Nigerian filmmakers; Kunle Afolayan, Charles Opaleke, and Ayodeji Richard Makun, better known as AY.
Afolayan and Opaleke were awarded the Officer Of The Order of The Niger (OON) for their contributions to the country’s development, while AY was honored with the Member of the Order of the Federal Republic (MFR) award.
Hailing Buhari over the award given to AY, Shade Ladipo wrote;
“The only thing that Bubu did for me was to award AY over that Uncle 30k. Truly AY has been constantly undervalued.
“The other uncle has more pride than Elon Musk, meanwhile nothing dey him pocket. I hope the new smallie he’s carrying will finish his money so we can rest”.
