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 Davido as he attended the Elevate Africa leadership event. A video of the music sensation David 'Davido' Adeleke expressed his desire for Africa to be great.

He shared his experience of trying to book the over 20,000-capacity Maddison Square guard in the USA. He shared that it was not because he could not sell it out but because the management was scared of thousands of 'Africans' crowing the event space.

Davido speaks on govt building more arena's in Nigeria.

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.

The singer asserted that Nigerian states need arenas and believes this will happen over time so Africans can stop seeking Western validation.
