On Davido and NYSC

The real Davido, whose full name is David Adedeji Adeleke, is one of the most successful and influential artists in Nigeria and Africa. He is known for his catchy songs, such as ‘Fall’, ‘If’, and ‘Fem’, as well as his lavish lifestyle and philanthropy.

He is also the founder and owner of the record label Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), which has produced many talented artists, such as Mayorkun, Peruzzi, and Dremo.

The NYSC, which stands for National Youth Service Corps, is a one-year mandatory program for Nigerian graduates who are below the age of 30.

The program aims to foster national unity, patriotism, and skills development among the youth. The orientation camp is the first phase of the program, where the corps members undergo physical and mental training, as well as social and cultural activities.
