David Adeleke, widely recognized as Davido and an Afrobeats superstar, has remarked that Nigeria has the “worst governments.”
He believes the country lacks the best leaders, but despite its poor governance model, the entertainment industry has illuminated a positive aspect of the nation’s global image.
He clarified that the entertainment sector is currently drawing more tourists to the country. The singer claimed that last December, there were more Americans than Nigerians in Lagos.
In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden, Davido expressed, “I am happy that entertainment switched the narrative. Nigerians, we don’t have the best leaders. Our governments are the worst
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.”
