A Nigerian Big boy based in Dubai, Hushpuppi released a video responding to comments made by the former media aide to the PDP, Deji Adeyanju who invited the EFCC to investigate the Social media influencer.
The source of Hushpuppi’s wealth remains unknown and he has revelled in the mystery of it, refusing to reveal it.
Many believe it is fraudulent and he has never really come out to deny it.
In the video which was released a day ago, Hushpuppi talked about how he suffered in Nigeria before getting the chance to travel and he lamented that now that he’s enjoying people are now calling him out.
While accepting Adeyanju’s debate challenge, he said; “Yes, I accept your debate challenge. First you have to know to invite me to Nigeria; it comes with a cost just like other people who have been inviting me for appearances in so many different countries worldwide. It comes with a cost which you have to discuss with me if you want to see me, I dont care about you. You have to realize it comes with a first class ticket, a 5-star hotel, on ground security since the country is not safe it is well known for kidnapping people and all these things, you have to provide me with my meals, I have my own preferences, you know the kind of meals I eat”
He also attacked Adeyanju, cursing him in Yoruba and also stating that he’d like the debate to take place in a market and that the two of them can then fight it out.
“When you are coming to this debate, please be well prepared to answer some very good questions that I have for you and Nigerians. You have to explain to me personally why is it that my elder sister, the one I was immediately born after had to die of just Typhoid in Nigeria in Gbagada General Hospital (Lagos)? Why did my sister have to die because my parents didn’t have enough money? Why did she have to die cos they didn’t attend to her quick in the hospital? You have to answer these questions that give me pains that I go through all the time, everyday in my life.
“You have to be able tell me why my parents have to suffer so much and they can’t be proud of N1,000 that has been given to them by the federal government. My mother is from the Niger Delta part of Nigeria where Nigeria’s oil comes from. She has never benefitted one dollar from the Niger Delta, the oil-producing part of Nigeria where she comes from and she is over 60 years old”
He also claimed that his family who are poor have worked harder than Buhari. He claimed that he had suffered more than Buhari’s kids, he stated that most Nigerians should also be flying in private jets. He lashed out at those who questioned his spending and lifestyle.
“I suffer, okada don jam me so many times, motor don jam me for the same Nigeria. I don nearly die. I come escape, I come escape una country, just few years I don dey enjoy. This enjoyment never even mature. Just this small enjoyment wey I dey enjoy never dey equilibrium with the suffer wey I don suffer. I don suffer for decades, I never enjoy reach 5 years sef. Una dey look say no, dem suppose bring me back make I come suffer, say na must say I must suffer”
He also talked about how his father suffered, how he went to various countries in Africa, slept with donkeys in Ethiopia and sold phones in Ghana.
“My papa when im dey 4 years old, him papa die. At the age of 7 them put am inside motor wey carry yam and cow dey go north. My papa follow motor go north.
At the age of 8, 9, my papa don dey work for bakery for north from Ijebu. My papa suffer. E acquire many things, e get to where him want you know. My papa really go through a lot you know.
