@Iamowolabi01: “I swear, I love it when elders respect their elders. Look at Davido’s dad practically kneeling down for Baba Okoya and another man. Billionaires still show respect. Some of you have nothing and can’t even bow or show respect to your elders.”
@horlat_: “Billionaires club, but who is richer?”
@LaughNLearnX: “Look how a billionaire bows humbly and says hello, if it was one of these new guys with not much money, he would be a big deal.”
@iamaleshinloye: “Let them cheer you on if you want, it’s not good to bow your head.”
@gen__thor: “I don’t know where Davido learned respect from. But joking aside, I love respect! Look how billionaires bow to each other. If only there was a Pablo vs. glk right now.”
@tunedaay: “Like saying, dad Davido got this aura from him. All I see is old Davido, no diamond chain.”

@FmofLagos1: “Saw Adeleke dey bend down to greet Okoya, he even bent down to greet Okoya
@Respecting your husband is equal to respecting your wife. “
