Nigerians Angry As Femi Otedola’s Daughter Named Tourism Ambassador

A daughter of Nigerian business and oil mogul Femi Otedola, DJ Cuppy, was named a Tourism Ambassador for Nigeria by the Minister for Culture and Tourism, Edem Duke, on April 17, 2014, Thursday.

Many Nigerians are not happy with the new development. They want to know why the 21-year-old daughter of Nigerian billionaire (real name Ife Otedola) has been chosen for the position, with many others clearly stating their disapproval. 

While her friends and fans have showered her with praise, readers of a number of popular blogs who reported the story have lambasted Otedola and her dad, stating that the title is unmerited and was only given to her because of her father’s affluence and well known status quo in the country:

Already holding a Bachelor’s degree, DJ Cuppy will be furthering her education by pursuing a Master’s Degree as she recently gained admission into the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, New York.

DJ Cuppy who made her music debut in Nigeria last year has made the conscious effort of  flying the Nigerian flag proud (as seen on her social media time lines), always using the hashtag #ilovemycountry. Cuppy’s biography might however just contradict everything Nigerian she stands for, as she described herself as ‘British’.
