TVC presenter Akashat Ny'mat criticized Davido for publicly claiming Nigeria's economy is "in shambles" on a U.S. radio show.

Ny'mat emphasized that influential figures must be mindful of how their statements impact national progress.

TVC presenter Akashat Ny’mat has criticized singer Davido for his recent remarks about Nigeria’s struggling economy, made during an appearance on a U.S. radio show. Ny'mat expressed her disappointment, stating that by publicly calling the country’s economy "in shambles," Davido inadvertently discouraged foreign investors. She argued that while the country is indeed facing challenges, such comments do not serve the national interest.

Ny’mat pointed out that Nigerian leaders, such as President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are actively seeking foreign investors to help improve the economy. By stating the economy is bad, she believes Davido’s remarks could have a negative impact, especially when efforts are being made to fix the country’s financial struggles.

She added that regardless of how true the situation may be, it’s crucial for individuals, especially those in influential positions, to consider how their words affect national progress and investor confidence. Ny’mat emphasized that while Nigerians are aware of the nation’s difficulties, public figures should exercise caution in sharing such views if they do not contribute positively to the situation.

The debate highlights the tension between honest expression and the potential consequences of such statements in a global context, especially in times of economic recovery efforts.
