Nigerian singer Spyro has shared his thoughts on the recent controversy surrounding Burna Boy and socialite Sophia Egbueje’s Lamborghini dispute.
An audio recording recently emerged online, in which Sophia alleged that Burna Boy reneged on a promise to gift her a Lamborghini after an intimate encounter.
In an Instagram story, Spyro reflected on the issue, stating that it highlights a deeper societal problem – the lack of proper upbringing and values.
The singer shared, “I blame all these on bad parenting….”Train up a child (male/female) the way he should go and when he grows, he will not depart from it. A lot of us should be focused on ending the circle of poverty so that our children won’t be victims too but unfortunately, my generation just dey gallivant about, indulging in frivolities..hmm
“I was talking to someone earlier today about how I was never opportune to have toys as a kid; my childhood wasn’t the easiest, but one thing I told myself from a very tender age. My kids will never have to go through what I did and so I put myself to rigorous work. In fact, I will never marry without having N500m in my account. I fought, cried, and prayed, and today, I can afford to give my kids the life they want so they don’t become prey as I almost became one.
This should be what we should focus on not criticizing.”
“Nevertheless, it’s not enough to provide, it is very Germane to also train them with the fear of God as that’s what separates a man from beast tendencies. The spirit of God in man is what regulates him and keeps him level headed. Didn’t the Bible make reference to the heart of man? Desperately wicked who can know it? God over man is what keeps him sane.”
According to Spyro, many people are more focused on indulging in frivolities rather than breaking the cycle of poverty for future generations. Drawing from his own experiences, Spyro recalled his challenging childhood, where he couldn’t afford toys. However, he’s determined to create a better life for his own children.
Spyro also revealed his personal goal of securing financial stability before getting married, aiming to have N500 million in his account. His comments emphasize the importance of prioritizing values, hard work, and financial responsibility.
