Renowned Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De Ultimate, has made the difficult decision to cancel his 67th birthday celebration due to the prevailing economic challenges in the nation.
In an announcement shared via his Instagram page on Thursday, K1 De Ultimate expressed his concern about the hardships faced by many Nigerians.
Wasiu, who is currently 66 years old, will be marking his 67th birthday on March 3rd of this year.
His birthday was always celebrated elaborately by friends both in Nigeria and abroad.
However, instead of celebrating his birthday as usual, he stressed that many people are suffering, and he has no cause to celebrate his birthday this year.
He wrote, “Many people are praying for survival at this point; to feed well is a big issue for many.
“As someone who benefits from many of these people crying and lamenting, I share in their pains and see no reason I should be celebrating.
“Yes, I agree what our country is passing through now is not permanent, and the government is trying in a possible way to get things fixed.
“ I believe God Almighty shall open ways and a better direction for the leadership of our dear country.”
He, therefore, urged his friends to support anyone nearer to them that is in need instead of spending lavishly on his birthday for the celebration.
