Davido speaks out, saying Nigeria doesn’t have the right leaders.
Nigerian Afrobeats icon David Adeleke, widely known as Davido, has recently articulated a compelling perspective on the pressing need for strong leadership in Nigeria and Africa. In a candid interview with Elevate Africa, he emphasized that while Nigerians possess remarkable resilience and adaptability, the absence of visionary leadership remains a significant barrier to the nation’s progress.
Davido’s poignant remarks underscore a fundamental truth: without effective leaders, the collective potential of citizens cannot be fully realized. He stated emphatically, “We can’t go forward without… we need the best leaders now first, that’s the most important thing.” This assertion resonates deeply with the myriad challenges faced by the country, where innovation and ambition often clash with a lack of strategic direction.
The singer further elaborated on the tenacity of Nigerians, noting that the ability to flourish in adverse conditions speaks volumes about their strength of character. He illustrated this by asserting, “If you can survive in Lagos … you can survive anywhere.” This powerful sentiment reflects a broader narrative of resilience that many Nigerians embody, highlighting their significant global presence and cultural impact.
In a landscape where the need for exemplary leadership is paramount, Davido’s insights serve as a call to action for stakeholders across all levels of governance. The potential for extraordinary progress exists, contingent upon the emergence of leaders who can harness this inherent strength for the greater good. Indeed, the future of Nigeria and Africa rests not just on the shoulders of its citizens but also on the vision and integrity of its leaders.
American rapper and model Rubi Rose has publicly stated her financial prerequisites for prospective romantic partners. In a recent livestream with Adin Ross, the artist declared that she requires a potential suitor to earn a minimum of $5 million annually.
Rose justified this stipulation by drawing a parallel to societal expectations regarding female attractiveness, stating that “Men won’t date ugly girls, so I don’t want to date a broke guy.” Further clarifying her position, she added that she desires a partner who is financially comparable to herself and stipulated that his wealth must be derived from legal avenues. Her remarks have predictably ignited considerable discussion regarding financial expectations in modern relationships.

Afrobeats artist Mayorkun, known for hits like “Mayor of Lagos,” has publicly expressed his contemplation of relocating abroad. In a recent post on X, the singer stated, “I dey reason to japa [relocate].”
Mayorkun’s sentiment echoes a growing trend among Nigerian celebrities. The past decade has witnessed a significant exodus, with notable figures such as Tacha, Eldee, and Genevieve Nnaji among those who have chosen to relocate. This trend, further exemplified by Banky W’s move to the United States for educational pursuits last year, highlights concerns regarding current socio-economic conditions within Nigeria. The reasons behind these decisions are multifaceted and warrant further observation as more prominent figures weigh similar options.
