Afrobeat artist Davido has described Nigeria’s government and leaders as the worst he has experienced.
According to Davido, although the country doesn’t have the best of leaders, one thing he can boast about is the entertainment industry. He asserted that the entertainment industry has changed the narrative about the country.
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.”
