Moreso reports suggested that the ‘Twice As Tall’ singer was awarded a landed property as well at the Old GRA of his home state.
The development, which comes at a time when teachers in the state are protesting unpaid salaries, has sparked outrage on the microblogging platform.
Several users have questioned the governor’s rationale for gifting the musicians millions when workers are being owed salaries.
Burna Boy’s politics starts and ends with his songs. In reality, he neither has the depth nor the guts to actually challenge the system he’s always criticising. But thanks for the music tho. At least it makes us feel good.

Moreso, another user lamented that it is not the money given to Burna Boy that is making Nigerians bemoan but the huge numbers of workers been owed months salaries.
It’s not the gift that Wike gave Burna and other artistes that is making people complain, it’s the fact that there are so many workers/pensioners who are yet to be paid their salary/pension for months in the same state and he was till able to gift such huge amount

Burna Boy and the rest of the artistes will collect N10M each from Wike and celebrate it here. Next day they will tweet about lack of infrastructure and focus on Lagos State. Have they ever ask Wike about End SARS Judicial Panel of Inquiry?

Lmao Burna boy will come on Twitter to drag politicians, he’ll call them looters and all but see the hypocrite hailing Wike after receiving N10M. Teachers are being owed 5 years salary in the same Rivers State o. pic.twitter.com/xgp7BHfIAI

However, a user left a comment that shock everybody:
Nigerians dey play Burna Boy wicked x and o, them dey give am two ways.
If Burna didn’t honour his governor’s invite, he is a proud fellow that has ignored his roots because of White man’s validation.
If He honours the invitation, he is an hypocrite because of Monsters U made pic.twitter.com/o6xEXYeOiU— H? (@Hoekage77) March 28, 2021
