Lagos, Nigeria, was the centre of attention on December 31, 2024, as the city joined the rest of the world to usher in 2025 in grand style, bringing together some of Nigeria's biggest stars, including Ayo Balogun Wizkid.

Recall that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had released a list of artists to perform at the Greater Lagos Count Down, with the likes of Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Olamide, among others, performing.

DMW label boss Davido, however, didn't make the list of performers, stirring up speculations among his fans as to why he was excluded.

Videos of Wizkid at the iconic Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, left their fans in awe as he gave energetic performances to usher in the New Year.

Wizkid, however, went beyond thrilling his fans with some of his hit songs and showed his spiritual side. Wizkid was spotted in a video praying for his fans in the Yoruba language as they commenced 2025.

During his performance, the music star also caused a buzz after stating he was back in Nigeria.

While he didn't share details, Wizkid's comment sparked speculation on whether he meant he had relocated back to the country in what is termed 'reverse Japa' or 'Japada' in local parlance. Some netizens also expressed doubt on Wizkid's relocating to Nigeria.
