In a recent development, Afrobeats icon Davido has issued a stark warning to Black Americans contemplating a move to Nigeria in the wake of Donald Trump’s election victory. Speaking on The Big Homies House podcast, Davido detailed the dire economic conditions in Nigeria, advising potential emigrants to rethink their plans.
Davido, a major figure in the global music scene, described Nigeria’s economic situation as “not cool back home,” highlighting severe issues like ineffective leadership, a worsening exchange rate, and soaring oil prices that have deepened the economic crisis. “The economy is in shambles,” he declared, pointing out the paradox of Nigeria, an oil-producing nation, facing higher oil costs than countries that import it.
While acknowledging the positive influence of Africa’s entertainment sector in boosting the continent’s image internationally, Davido emphasized that the prevailing economic circumstances make Nigeria an unattractive option for those looking to relocate. His comments come at a time when some Black Americans are considering leaving the United States due to apprehensions about Trump’s policies, which they fear may not be in their favor. Davido’s cautionary remarks highlight the complex realities in Nigeria, urging individuals to carefully consider their decisions in these challenging times.
