Afrobeats star David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido has claimed that the best doctors in the United States are of Nigerian descent.
Davido made this statement during an appearance on the Afric TV program, where he highlighted the intellectual and creative excellence of Africans.
He emphasised that Africans are among the brightest minds in the global music industry, noting that even Western filmmakers are increasingly looking to the continent for inspiration and movie ideas.
He said, “The best doctors in America are Nigerians. You can search it. Even in my record label [Sony Music], Africans bring the best ideas. That shows that our imagination is off the grid.
“Netflix and Amazon Prime come to Africa to get movie ideas. Now, when you come on Netflix, you will see about two Nigerian movies in the top 10. Africa is next, trust me. I feel like we have everything but just missing a couple of things.”
