Davido told the audience that years later, the guy from whom he booked the arena praised him for pulling it off because people finally recognised Africans.
The singer shared that he wishes Nigerians had major arenas like that in the country, as he was tired of performing only at Eko Hotel whenever he had local events.
The singer asserted that Nigerian states needed arenas. He believes this will happen over time so Africans can stop seeking Western validation.
