According to Afrobeats musician David Adeleke, better known by his stage name Davido, Nigeria has the “worst governments.”
He pointed out that the nation lacks the best leaders and that, in spite of the bad administration, the entertainment sector has improved the country’s standing internationally.
“I am happy that entertainment switched the narrative,” Davido stated in a recent interview with Ebro Darden of Apple Music. The best leaders are not among us Nigerians. Our governments are the worst.

“However, the music and entertainment sector as a whole has improved our nation’s reputation overseas.”
Additionally, the entertainment sector is drawing tourists to the nation. In Lagos last December, Americans outnumbered Nigerians. “What are you all doing here?” I asked.
We used to get excited when we traveled to America, but these days, it’s them who travel to Lagos. It is the entire culture, not just the music. Approximately 80 percent of the models and creative directors during Paris Fashion Week are African. It’s amazing.
