Afrobeats sensation David Adeleke, better known as Davido, has lauded Nigerians for their exceptional contributions to various fields, particularly in the United States. The superstar declared that some of the best doctors in America are of Nigerian descent, a testament to the intellectual prowess of Africans.
Speaking on the Afric TV program, Davido emphasized the significant impact of African talent, not only in healthcare but also in music and film. According to him, Africans are among the most innovative minds in the global music scene, with their creativity extending into Western entertainment industries.
“The best doctors in America are Nigerians. You can search it,” Davido stated. “Even at my record label, Africans bring the best ideas. That shows our imagination is off the grid. Platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime are now looking to Africa for inspiration. When you check Netflix, you’ll often find Nigerian movies ranking in the top 10.”
Davido expressed optimism about Africa’s potential, noting that while the continent still faces challenges, its cultural and intellectual contributions are paving the way for global recognition. “Africa is next, trust me. We have everything, but we’re just missing a couple of things,” he concluded.
The Afrobeats star’s comments underscore the growing influence of African talent on a global scale, further solidifying the continent’s position as a hub of innovation and creativity.
