Afrobeats star David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has shared his thoughts on what he believes is holding Nigeria back from reaching its full potential—effective leadership.
Speaking during an interview with Elevate Africa, Davido pointed out that Nigerians are resilient and adaptable, thriving even in tough circumstances.
However, he noted that the absence of visionary leaders has slowed the nation’s progress.
Davido reflected on the strength and influence of Nigerians worldwide, citing their presence and achievements across different countries as proof of their capabilities.
He expressed optimism that with the right leadership, Nigeria could overcome its challenges and achieve remarkable progress.
“Where do you think Africa should be by now, and how do we get there through music?” Davido reflected on the tenacity of Nigerians, highlighting their ability to thrive in challenging environments.
“I tell people, I say if you can survive in Lagos or you can survive in Nigeria rather, you can survive anywhere. I feel like we’re survivors; we’re strong-willed people.
“Nigeria, if you go anywhere in the world, everybody has Nigerian friends. Whether you’re Chinese or…you have Nigerian friends everywhere in the world. I fly to do shows, Nigerian restaurants are there, and Nigerian communities are there. It just shows that we’re a force.
“I just feel the only thing is just missing is just the right leaders to lead us. Once we get that right, I don’t think there’s anything that will stop us,” he stated.
