Media personality Ifedayo Olarinde, better known as Daddy Freeze, has reacted to the debate surrounding singer Ycee's recent interview about Nigeria's evolving social values.

He maintained that Peller did not create the system and should not be held responsible for its shortcomings.

Daddy Freeze speaks on education and wealth

Expanding on his point, Daddy Freeze revealed that he has a friend who is a paediatric cardiologist but earns less than N700,000 a month.

He also cited the example of a wealthy businessman in Ibadan known as Molan Industry, who, despite not being formally educated, became a millionaire and supported many people, including those with university degrees.

According to Daddy Freeze, even attaining middle-class wealth through education alone has become increasingly difficult in Nigeria, which is why the country's institutions—not individuals like Peller—should be blamed.
