The singer was against the idea and went on to use Nigeria as an example. According to Davido, the country's economy was currently in shambles, and things were not going well.
The 30BG boss also said that despite Nigeria being an oil-producing country, its citizens still pay more for oil than those importing it.
However, Davido acknowledged that the entertainment scene was one of the good things about Africa.
In his words:
“Leave America and go where? Let’s be honest! Go back where? It’s not cool back home. My country now is in…the economy is in shambles. I do my part, I’m an ambassador. When I go home and I’m filming, I’m not going to show the bad parts. I go to the trenches but I’m talking about the situation in the country. We Nigerians, like now the exchange rate is messed up, a lot of stuff are not going well, the economy is just not good. The oil prices are too high, and imagine a country that produces oil, we produce the oil and we pay more money for oil than a country that’s importing oil. There’s stuff like that, but regardless, entertainment is one of the things that’s made Africa look good. We do not have the best leaders, that’s a fact.”

Haki_kweli_shakur:
“It’s 50 plus countries in Africa. One country going through a ruff time doesn’t dismiss the other African countries who are doing Great. Who are giving dual citizenship to black people from the U.S. People educate yourselves don’t take one person’s view about what’s going on in African countries. There’s plenty of US over there doing great and providing opportunities for black people here in the U.S.”
Obijr904:
“He should’ve said don’t go back to Nigeria, not the whole of Africa.”
There's a way to balance things - Tobi Oluwatoyin
In a chat with Legit.ng, Nigerian social media expert Tobi Oluwatoyin reacted to what Davido said about his country while warning Americans not to relocate to Africa. He said:
"I think Davido should paint the true picture of Nigeria or Africa, but demarketing the country as a whole is wrong. Nobody should do that to their country. That is not ambassador-like if you ask me. I just believe there is a way to balance things without actually demarketing the country."
