In a powerful display of music’s unifying force, the city of Ibadan stood still as Afrobeats superstar Davido delivered a spectacular sold-out performance for his ‘5ive Alive World Tour’. The event, held at the massive 25,000-capacity Obafemi Awolowo Stadium, was not just a musical concert but a significant social gathering, highlighted by the presence of two sitting governors.
Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, and his Osun State counterpart, Governor Ademola Adeleke, were spotted in the audience, dancing and enjoying the show alongside thousands of fans. Their attendance underscored the cultural importance of the event, bridging the gap between governance and popular youth culture.
Davido, born David Adeleke, did not disappoint the ecstatic crowd. He delivered a high-energy set, thrilling the audience with back-to-back hits from his extensive catalogue, including fan favourites like ‘Aye’ and ‘Fia’. The atmosphere was electric, with the superstar’s signature charisma keeping the entire stadium on its feet throughout the night.
A memorable highlight of the evening was when popular social media content creator, Trinity Guy, was brought on stage to meet the superstar, fulfilling a long-standing dream and sending a wave of excitement through the crowd. The concert not only provided unforgettable entertainment but also demonstrated the significant economic boost such large-scale events bring to local businesses and vendors in Ibadan.
