During the interview, Davido urged Africans in the diaspora to reconsider returning to Africa, citing the unfavorable conditions back home.
He highlighted the poor state of the Nigerian economy, stating, "Leave America and go where? Go back where? It's not cool back home. My country now, the economy is in shambles. The exchange rate is messed up. A lot of stuff not going well. The economy is not just good anymore. The oil prices are too high. Imagine a country that produces oil. We produce the oil and we paying more money for oil than a country that imports the oil."
