Davido Explains His World Cup Jacket Highlighting Nigeria’s Kidnapping Crisis

Nigerian afrobeats star Davido has defended his decision to wear a specially designed jacket during his FIFA World Cup performance. The outfit bore the names of children who have gone missing, with the message “Bring Them Home” painted on the back. In a recent interview, Davido criticised influential figures who avoid discussing Nigeria’s security challenges to protect the nation’s image. He argued that maintaining a positive public relations image should never take priority over speaking out for innocent citizens. By featuring the names of missing victims on a global stage, Davido aims to raise international awareness about the growing kidnapping crisis. He stressed, “Which image is there to protect if little children are being kidnapped? Human lives matter more than public relations.”
