Afrobeats superstar David Adeleke, better known as Davido, kicked off his highly anticipated five-city Nigeria tour with a spectacular show at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Akwa Ibom on Sunday, October 26.
The 30,000-capacity venue was packed with fans eager to experience the first stop of his “5ive Tour Nigeria.”
The award-winning star, who will also perform in Enugu, Adamawa, Ibadan, and Lagos, delivered an electrifying performance with support from homegrown talents including Fiokee, Aquilla Bellz, and Sagas. Together, they thrilled the crowd with chart-toppers like Funds, *Unavailable, and Feel.
Photos and videos from the event quickly took over social media, with concertgoers sharing clips of the energetic night. But beyond the performances, the massive crowd has triggered a heated conversation online.
A viral post on X spotlighted the sea of fans at the stadium, prompting users to compare the turnout to religious gatherings such as the Hallelujah Challenge.
Many questioned the double standards of critics who previously condemned crowded faith-based events but praised the large turnout for Davido.
