Relocation: Davido sends warning to Nigerians in  America

By Taiwo Okanlawon

Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has cautioned Nigerians in the United States against relocating back to Nigeria, citing the country’s ongoing economic challenges.

Appearing on The Big Homies House podcast, Davido expressed concern over Nigeria’s deteriorating economy and governance issues. “It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles,” he said.

The music icon highlighted the effects of bad leadership, a struggling exchange rate, and rising oil prices on the country’s well-being.

“I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am not going to show the bad parts,” Davido noted. “I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up; a lot of stuff is not going well.

“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine a country that produces oil paying more for it than a country importing oil.”

Despite these challenges, Davido praised the entertainment industry’s role in reshaping Africa’s global image.

“Regardless, entertainment is one of the things that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leaders—that is a fact,” he stated.

Separately, reactions to Donald Trump’s political developments stirred mixed feelings online, with some users showing support while others expressed dissatisfaction.
