David Adeleke popularly known as Davido has expressed heavy heart over government failure, unfairness, and the long-suffering of Nigerians.
Speaking in an episode online, Davido openly revealed that he thought genuine change was coming to Nigeria during the EndSARS protests but Nigerians quickly returned to their old ways.
“I was happy to see Nigerians protest during EndSARS. I thought change was coming, but December came and people were going partying. Those who claim to fight for the people often change when they get power. Even I have a family and fear losing my life. Nigeria, fix up.” —Davido https://t.co/jNltkUmBDo

He stated that those who claim to fight for Nigerians often change whenever they get into power.
Davido say that despite being from a lucky and influential background, he still fears losing his life.
Davido said Nigeria needs an immediate positive change.
"I was happy to see Nigerians protest during EndSARS.
I thought change was coming, but December came and people were partying.
Even me, who was initially hopeful about the movement got discouraged.
I was like we can't kill ourselves.
We have kids and people we are living for.
"Once the government is bad, there would be hardship.
Davido said he can't even advise people who are going through economic hardship because I am not going through what they are going through, even though I have my own struggles, too.
What I can say is, Nigeria, fix up.
The country has to change from politicians to citizens, everything.
"We can't change our society until we change our mindset as a people.
Today, the same people that were protesting are campaigning for politicians.
Those who claim to fight for the people often change when they get power," he stated.
