Choosing Adamawa: Peace, Production & Potential
Davido met with Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri at the Government House in Yola and revealed why Adamawa topped his list for the second Nigerian stop on his tour. “While we were coming to Africa, we were looking for a place in Nigeria that could handle us production-wise and security-wise, and Adamawa came out on top,” he said.
He also mentioned that the state’s “peace, security and capacity to host large-scale events” were major deciding factors.
A Strategic Move for Culture, Youth & Access
Stopping in Adamawa isn’t just a logistical decision — it’s a cultural statement. By choosing Yola for a stadium concert, Davido is bringing a world-class live-music experience to Northern Nigeria, often under-represented in the Afrobeats touring map.
The concert at Mahmud Ribadu Square drew thousands of fans, featured top-tier production, and underscored how Nigeria’s live-music market is expanding beyond only Lagos or Abuja.
What It Means for Artists & Creators
For you — an upcoming DJ, producer and artist based in Lagos — Davido’s move sends a clear message: rising in the music business isn’t just about streaming numbers or big cities anymore. It’s about reaching untapped markets, valuing infrastructure and production, and thinking national (and continental) when planning tours or releases.
- Think beyond major hubs: Northern states, smaller cities and underserved regions can become key live-music hotspots.
- Production matters: High-quality visuals, sound, security and logistics earn trust and credibility.
- Local cultural access: When a performer brings a big show to a new region, that region responds—not just as audience but as part of the story.
Final Thoughts
By choosing Adamawa for his second stop, Davido is not only delivering for his fans — he’s expanding the map for Nigerian music. He’s showing that infrastructure, peace and inclusivity matter in touring. And for anyone building a music career, it’s a strategy worth noting.
