- Davido expressed his desire for Nigeria to be great as he noted that he was tired of performing at the prestigious Eko Hotel
Social media users saw another side to singer David Adeleke, aka Davido, as he attended the Elevate Africa leadership event. The music sensation expressed his desire for Africa to be great.
He shared his experience of trying to book the over 20,000-capacity Maddison Square Garden in the USA. The music star shared that it was not because he could not sell it out but because the management was scared of thousands of 'Africans' crowding the event space.

Davido told the audience that years later, the guy from whom he booked the arena praised him for pulling it off because people finally recognised Africans.
The singer shared that he wishes Nigerians had major arenas like that in the country, as he was tired of performing only at Eko Hotel whenever he had local events.
