“There are so many interesting things to do in Lagos. We have amazing nightlife. I feel like we have the best nightlife in the world. We have good restaurants — everything is there in Lagos,” Davido said.
Davido’s statement instantly sparked online debate. Many fans praised him for promoting Nigeria in a positive light, while others called his claim unrealistic.
@Chief_Big360 applauded Davido, saying:
“Sentiments aside, Davido impresses me with the way he promotes Lagos in every interview.”
On the flip side, @ThePhysicsOfGod accused him of trying to clean up his image after a past interview caused backlash.
“This must be damage control after being bashed for demarketing Nigeria. Lagos has the best nightlife in the world ke?”
Safety concerns also came up. @Onuohajude8 warned:
“If you’re not careful after the nightlife, you’ll lose your phone — or your life.”
Meanwhile, @Here4buz questioned the goal of Davido’s media rounds.
“What’s really the objective of these interviews? I’m asking because his last album performed poorly on the global charts despite countless interviews.”
Still, love him or not, Davido has everyone talking again — and he’s put Lagos nightlife at the center of the global conversation.
