Afrobeats star David Adeleke, widely known by his stage name Davido, has expressed his view that Nigeria is plagued by some of the “worst governments.”
He remarked that the nation suffers from poor leadership, but highlighted that, in spite of these challenges, the entertainment sector has continued to uplift Nigeria’s image on the global stage.
Speaking in a recent interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, Davido said, “I am happy that entertainment switched the narrative. We [Nigerians], don’t have the best leaders. We have the worst governments.
“But the music and entertainment industry in general, has impacted our country’s image abroad positively.”
“The entertainment industry is also attracting tourists to the country. Last December, there were more Americans than Nigerians in Lagos. I was like, what are you all doing here?
“Back in the days, we used to be excited when coming to America but now, they are the ones coming to Lagos. It is not just music, it is the culture as a whole. If you go to Paris Fashion Week, about 80 per cent of the models are Africans, the same with the creative directors. It’s impressive.”
