Kiddwaya, a Nigerian entrepreneur, questions the absence of Nigerian billionaires in the purchase of TikTok, asking if such ventures are only for Western elites.
Kiddwaya, a Nigerian celebrity and entrepreneur, sparked a conversation on social media with a thought-provoking question aimed at the country's billionaires. On January 16, 2025, he took to X (formerly Twitter) asking, "Can we come together and buy TikTok or is it only for white people?"
In his post, Kiddwaya challenged Nigeria’s wealthy elite to consider pooling resources to purchase the popular social media platform, TikTok, as he questioned whether such a venture was reserved for Western billionaires only. His remark stirred reactions from fellow users, with many sharing their opinions and offering humorous responses.
Some users questioned Kiddwaya’s status as a billionaire, while others mocked his idea, pointing out that Elon Musk did not require a group of billionaires to acquire Twitter. On the other hand, a few expressed support for his suggestion, humorously suggesting the creation of a "billionaire WhatsApp group" to discuss the potential purchase.
