Promising an “energy showdown” ahead of his hugely-anticipated performance at Expo 2020 Dubai’s Jubilee Park, Davido insisted that the audience members would not be going home the same people on Saturday (19 March).
The Nigerian-American singer, who enthralled the crowd with both old and new hits including Dami Duro, Gobe, Dodo and One of a Kind, began his set by videoing his delighted fans.
Blinged to the max in gleaming bracelets, earrings and a massive silver chain sporting the numbers ‘001’, the star topped off his ensemble with a green Expo 2020 Dubai scarf.
Davido said: “At the Nigeria Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, it’s just amazing to see how our country is celebrating agriculture, entertainment, business, politics… everything. So visiting the Nigeria Pavilion and seeing myself in there was amazing. I’m here to represent my country and to spread love and peace.
“My message for Dubai’s Nigerian community is to keep promoting African culture. You know, about 10 years ago, African people were not that popular around the world, but that’s changed – you can hear that from the crowd who are already cheering for me.”
Musical artist Kayykilo got things underway with a dynamic rap performance and some sultry moves, before Davido took over the reins – with the appreciative audience roaring their lungs out, word perfect on every one of the Afrobeats King’s tracks.

Ramadan is a time for togetherness and reflection, and Homes r Us believes every home has a story to tell.

In that spirit, the home décor and furniture brand launched its Ramadan 2023 collection. In this year’s collection, you’ll find ideas for hosting iftars and celebrations with friends and family for unforgettable memories. In the UAE, each home appears distinct, as a diverse array of traditions, customs, gatherings, and enriching stories breathe life into them. Every part of Ramadan reflects the identity of the people who live in these homes, from the food to the clothes to the gifts to even the furniture. There’s a solution for every home in the brand’s latest collection. With its minimalist design, soft hues, and textures, the “White Canvas” theme exudes serenity and tranquillity. The “Forest Forage” theme features carefully chosen accessories and furniture inspired by the earth and forest elements to bring nature into the home. Those with modern home designs can add a touch of contemporary elegance with the “Industrial Sleek” theme, blending contrasting textures and hues for a modern loft appeal. Homes r Us is also adding opulent lanterns and dinnerware to its dining collection, suitable for hosting lavish iftars. The brand is a one-stop shop for all Ramadan needs, enabling the idyllic setting for family stories. Homes r Us understands that different cultures celebrate Ramadan differently.
