He’s not just an artist — he’s a cultural ambassador who has put African sounds on the world map.Musical Legacy and AchievementsDavido burst onto the scene in 2012 with his debut album Omo Baba Olowo and the hit single “Dami Duro,” quickly winning the Next Rated award at The Headies. His catchy melodies, energetic delivery, and feel-good anthems like “If,” “Fall,” “Aye,” “Skelewu,” and many more have earned him billions of streams worldwide.

Beyond the Music:
Davido’s generosity stands out. He’s known for supporting upcoming artists, investing in talent from various regions of Nigeria, and using his platform for good. His larger-than-life personality, love for family (he often shouts out his kids and roots), and unapologetic celebration of success make him a beloved figure.With a net worth estimated in the millions, sold-out tours, and a growing global fanbase (the “Davido Army” is real!), he continues to evolve while staying authentic to his Nigerian heritage.
Davido represents excellence, resilience, and the power of African creativity on the world stage. OBO (Our Boy Original) is more than a nickname, it’s a statement. Long live the king of Afrobeats!

I’m not against Igbos residing in Lagos or thriving in business here, that’s their right as Nigerians.
What I strongly reject is Igbos running for elected political offices in Lagos State.
Leadership of Lagos should remain in the hands of indigenous Lagosians/yorubas.
Take your ideas, energy, and political ideology to your own region and develop the South East, stop trying to take over the political control of Lagos.
Lagos is not a no-man’s land.
Lagos for Lagos.
Tinubu should resign. Not because of hate, but because the contract is broken.
1. The economy is worse, not better, Inflation is crushing families, fuel and food prices are out of reach, and the naira keeps falling. “Reforms” that only bring pain without relief aren’t leadership - they’re gambling with 200M lives.
2. Insecurity hasn’t improved, From the North to the Middle Belt, killings and kidnappings continue. Campaign promises of securing Nigeria are collecting dust while citizens bury their dead weekly.
A leader’s job is to take responsibility when things aren’t working. If the policies, the team, and the direction aren’t delivering, the honorable move is to step aside and let someone else try.
Nigeria can’t afford 4 years of “give it time.” People are breaking now.
Resign. Let the country breathe.
