Davido also mentioned Nigeria’s struggles with bad leadership, a high exchange rate, and skyrocketing oil prices, which are negatively impacting the country.
“It is not cool back home. The economy is in shambles. I do my part, I am an ambassador. When I go home and I am filming, I am no going to show the bad parts,” he said.
“I am talking about the situation in the country. Now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuffs are not going well.
“The economy is just not good enough. The oil price is too high. Imagine the country that produces oil, paying more for it than a country importing oil.”

Despite the challenges, Davido emphasised the entertainment industry’s positive impact on Africa’s global image.
“Regardless, entertainment is one of the thing that has made Africa look good. We do not have the best leader, that is a fact,” he said.
Trump’s victory sparked mixed reactions on social media. While some users congratulated him, other were dissatisfied.
One of those who expressed dissatisfaction about Trump’s victory is Vivian Wilson, the transgender daughter of the Chief Executive Officer of Tesla and owner of X, Elon Musk, who announced plans to leave the United States.
According to a report by the UK’s Daily Mail, the 20-year-old Wilson revealed her plans on Threads, expressing discomfort with the political landscape under Trump’s return to office.
She wrote: “I don’t see my future in the United States.

“I’ve thought this for a while, but yesterday confirmed it for me. Even if he’s only in office for four years, even if anti-trans regulations don’t materialise, the people who voted for this aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.”
