Early this morning Davido released his latest single – Nwa Baby, a love song to end all other love songs. After listening to it a dozen times, we came to the sudden realization that asides currently being one of the greatest musical artistes in Africa, Davido is also quite the expert on romance and we have proof.
Here are eight times Davido taught us more about love than your favourite Agony Aunt.
In ‘Overseas’ Davido gave us lessons on the best way to woo the one you love. Take her overseas, buy her diamond rings and call her as soon as you wake up in the morning.
In ‘If’ he taught us that there’s no better way to show you love someone than putting 30 billion in their accounts, and Versace and Gucci on their bodies.
“How I go chop when my baby no chop”. In ‘Fall’ Davido talks about the self-sacrifice that must come with true love.
In ‘Aye’ he taught us that you’ll know it’s true love when she doesn’t want designer clothes or a Ferrari.
In ‘Fia’, Davido advices us not to put ourselves in harm’s way in the name of love. He also talks about being there for the one you love, for richer or for poorer.
In ‘Assurance’ we learn that the most important question to ask yourself in a relationship is, is bae really bae if they can’t give you both assurance and insurance.
In ‘Flora My Flawa’, Davido talks about the perpetuity of true love.
In ‘Nwa Baby’ he talks about being ride or die for the one you love.
What’s your favourite Davido love song, and which one(s) are you most likely to add to your wedding playlist?
Sometimes you wonder “how do people know when a Nigerian is a JJC or Fresh Off the Boat” (term to denote someone who just freshly arrived in a foreign country)? Here are some of the things they noticed.
1. When you change your location on social media
This is when you’re trying so hard to let people know location has changed, mans has stepped up.
2. When you start loading the accent from the airport
In your mind you can’t have people thinking you’re new here. And trying to let everyone understand you.
3. When you start taking photos at any random mall or store
No more Shoprite or Palms. We now know you go to Macy’s and Selfridges now. To snap pictures though.
4. When you start complaining “Is there anything that they don’t put tax on?”
When you realize there is tax on ordinary chewing gum. Smh I miss traffic hawkers.
5. Always asking everybody “What is the exchange rate today?”
When you are trying to control expenses based off the currency you are used to. Acting like you don’t have google to check yourself.
6. And the only question on your mind all day “Where can I find Jollof rice please?”
Two weeks and four days after you are tired of eating cheeseburgers and sandwiches. Your daily cry for help.
7. Asking everyone “Is there any African store around here?”
Then you decide to take matters into your hands and hunt for food. Don’t worry you won’t die.
8. When you suddenly become very humble
Chairman you’re enjoying oh.
Response: Na God oh, He will do your own too.
9. When you try to dress like everyone around you then overdo it
Don’t do it. Stop.
10. Always converting your rent and expenses to Naira
“this is money for one plot of land in Ogun State”. Okay, minister for naira conversion don’t be angry.
11. Then you keep reminding everyone “Nigeria has a long way to go”
When you finally start realizing the awesome of the overseas… Stop. We know.
